I still disagree. (and I don't think I take things too literally)
Troy and Zwick were both Elite 11 Quarterbacks. 2 out of 11 kids in the nation invited to an 'elite' QB camp in one recruiting class hardly seems to me like the "hey, come to
OSU and don't make any mistakes at the position and our defense and running game will do the rest" sell.
Mark Sanchez And Xavier Lee were both recruited by Tressel, and if I recall correctly, both considered coming to tOSU very strongly. And both were hardly considered your 'typical, blue collar QB'.
I obviously don't think Tressel ever tells any athlete, "We'll build our Program around you." All have to be willing to be part of this Team, but I also don't think he ever tells QB recruits, "did you see how we won a National Championship with Craig Krenzel? That's what I want."
P.S.
Troy was a Superstar, in a Jim Tressel Offense, and I credit a huge part of Troy's developement and success to Coach Tressel.
EDIT
Quote: "Les Horvath?"
Technically, I guess. But in his Heisman
Season he completed
14 of 32 passes for 344 yards (although 25 yards per completion is immpressive) & 6 TDs, while rushing for 924 yards (setting a new Big Ten rushing record), 5.2 per carry and 12 TDs, & I believe he was our kicker and played D too, so you know...
P.P.S.
Good luck to Zack with the rest of his season and in his recruitment...I'm sure he's a fine prospect if he's getting attention from our Coaches.
