2008 Rivals/Scout/etc. National & Regional Rankings

Michael Yancich at 121 but no Andrew Sweat. Doesn't make very much sense.

I smell another AJ Hawk type situation with Andrew.

Underrated and coming in with a much more heralded LB, in this case Sabino. I just hope Andrew has AJ's motor and work ethic, that would more than do for me.

tOSU somehow 2nd to USC even though tOSU has more draft picks and more All-Americans. USC's AP "title" pushed them over the edge, I guess, even though the major players (Leinart, White, Bush, Jarret) were in other classes

I love that Richardson, Holmes and Hawk all start for NFL teams right now, and Rivals had them all 3-stars...

2. Ohio State Buckeyes



Class details

2002-2006 Record: 55-9
Conference titles: 3 (2002, 2005, 2006)
National titles: 1 (2002)

All-Americans: 4 ? A.J. Hawk, Nick Mangold, Troy Smith, Quinn Pitcock NFL

Draft picks (round): 12 - A.J. Hawk (1), Bobby Carpenter (1), Santonio Holmes (1), Nick Mangold (1), Quinn Pitcock (3), Maurice Clarett (3), Nate Salley (4), Rob Sims (4), Jay Richardson (5), Roy Hall (5), Troy Smith (5), Doug Datish (6)

Star: A.J. Hawk
Bust: Maurice Clarett
Surprise: Santonio Holmes

[OregonBuckeye]

I can't believe they chose Clarett as the bust. Based on on-the-field performance, it should probably be either Zwick or D'Andrea.

I'd have to go with Zwick. I hate it when injuries get tossed into the bust category.

Yeah, me too. MoC was dirty in his lone year.

How was he "dirty"? Stupid, definitely, but not dirty...

FlaVarsity.com - Top 100

Updated Florida Top 100...of note:

#6 Michael Brewster
If your talking about power, no one touches Brewster

#8 Etienne Sabino
Hard hitting linebacker that moves like a safety

#9 Corey Liuget
Makes a huge jump in the Top 100. Top DE in Florida.

#13 Brandon Harris
Brings a strong combination of speed and strength at CB

#16 Ben Jones
He plays both sides of the ball, but has been more dominant on offense

#17 Brandon Washington
Great feet and plays with a mean streak on the line

#50 Travis Howard
What a surprise, another talented cover corner from Miami

Just acouple of notes....

ESPN recruiting is semi-retarded

No. 2 St. Xavier guns for a Division I title and an undefeated season Saturday against Coldwater. Jamar Hudson previews the Ohio state finals.

That statement links to this article...which has the correct info...

ESPN - No. 2 St. Xavier guns for undefeated season - High School Sports



Also, Don't know if anyone saw it, but on CNN last night there were broadcasting from Miami and had a small segment on Brandon Harris and how football is his "ticket out of there"

I will mention this in his thread.....

Scout.com: There's a New #1

Update Scout top 100 (Julio Jones is the new #1)...of note:

Went back and looked at previous posts...old Scout ranking in brackets...

#2 Terrelle Pryor [4]
#11 Mike Adams [11]
#18 Mike Brewster [22]
#24 Devier Posey [42]
#35 Josh Jenkins [37]
#36 J.B. Shugarts [32]
#37 Shayne Hale [25]
#39 Brandon Harris [114]
#55 Garrett Goebel [82]
#58 Brandon Thompson [54]
#71 Jake Stoneburner [71]
#73 Eitienne Sabino [74]
#77 Aundre Dean [157]

Sweat obviously dropped out while Yancich went from 181 to 82. Devoe dropped out of the top 100 as well. Chris Burns at #90? That is one I still don't get...kid is a great RB but top 100 in the country?

[SweetBuckeye]

Seems like Sweat didn't have the year he had as a jr. Seems to be taking a hit in all rankings. Hopefully this had to do more with his injury than anything.
