Great job to all who have contributed to this 'living document'. It is my favorite, and I refer to it constantly, looking at the 'two-deeps' and the 'stars' of the
OSU starters, and marveling on how many kids came of age, and outdid expectations. The star system has been discussed ad-nauseum on many of the threads, so I'll let it rest. Especially great is the list of 'did not finish' kids that departed for greener pastures. Like to see who of those kids were drafted, or gained notice elsewhere.
Don't know who said it first, but I agree that we bank some schollies, as
OSU seems to have four deep at each CB, and almost the same at safety. Unless some DE's either eat or pump their way up, we need 3 DTs. the redshirt LB's coming on next year are better than most any team's current year recruits. Youth prevails all over the place.
With the big crop of OL's coming on, it doesn't seem like we'd be in any real trouble anywhere else either. ( I know someone will point out the lack of wisdom of that statement, but hey, recruiting is more of a mental masturbation game than anything).
As I recall, I certainly wasn't mature enough to be able to pick with certainty the school where I would earn my livlihood from at the next step (for them the NFL, for me, the workforce), so don't really blame these kids. Wish all the great ones (to be) would become Buckeyes, but through it all, am impressed how Tress & Co fill the 'holes' that are needed.
PS, has someone banned the dancing bananas?
