OL: Adams, Brewster, Shugarts, Jenkins - 4 five stars
QB: Pryor - top player overall, 5 star
WR: Posey, Stoneburner, Thomas, Floyd, Scott - 2 five stars, 3 four stars
DL: Williams, Goebel, Thompson, Mobley, Hale - 2 5 stars, 3 four stars
.. again, I don't want to get my hopes up real high, considering Floyd and Hale are long shot at worst, but we a very legitimate shot right now with all of these guys. This would HAVE to be the top class in the country overall as well, and at only about 18 or 19 kids, that would be quite the accomplishment.

I'm guessing OSU has had about 10 during this time. Off the top of my head: Galloway, Glenn, Boston, Jenkins, Holmes, Ginn, Gonzo just in the last 12 years and I am sure I am forgetting some. Gamble played some WR here, so you could maybe add him to the list. |
In looking at ND's development of WR's over the past 20 years one must factor inthat they were essentially an option offense from 15 of those years 1986-2001 (Holtz & Davie). As everyone knows option offenses don't develop WR's.
ND only made the conversion to a pro style offense under Willingham in 2002. The guys that he recruited Samardzija, Stovall and McKnight threw up some pretty impressive numbers as upperclassmen.
BTW - "Rocket" Ismail probably would have been a 1st round pick as well but he signed with the CFL out of college.
