Great Thread! I may have missed this, maybe someone else commented, but I would bet breakfast that the 1967 recruiting class was pretty damned good. Rex Kern, etc., and I think that 4of the 5 1970 All Americans were from 67.
I am probably wrong!! But not too far off.
And if you were to analyze that 67 class within the context of how many became starters or how many made "contributions", I'll bet it was pretty darn awesome.
Again, if someone has the exact info, set me straight.
Thank you all and go Buckeyes.

in an attempt to straddle fences here.....i will say that assigning numbers to recruiting classes is open to evaluation.....thats why i always refuse when someone asks "what are the odds of so-and-so coming to ohio state".....
so....let me do some research....one thing is for sure.....i really like the 02 recruiting class....more for the depth than the stars.....
by quickly scanning the 04 roster....it appears that 12 members of this seasons starters were from the 02 class and a whopping 18 members of the 02 class were major contributors.....
again....i love the depth of that class....
this gets down to conley's approach vs. coach t's approach.....conley went shotgun style, hoping a few would hit.....tressel throws darts......
just my 2 cents....
nobody is right or wrong in this thread.....

All that I have heard of Tressel's sales style is that he stresses the whole college experience,and for that matter, post-college experience. Obviously it's more complicated than that. Does anyone know what kind of recruiting strategies these guys use, at OSU or anywhere? What makes a good "living room coach"? How does Tressel's sales pitch differ from other coaches, other than the previously stated?
Those in the know, fire away. How are high school coach relationships built? Does it [censored] anyone else off that scUM has a coache's clinic at Colrain?

Tressel never talks football, he only talks about "life". Also, JT (like Woody) tries to sell the parents. |

Well, the recruiting class of 2002 could accomplish something only the recruiting class of 1954 has done, and that's win two major national titles (and both classes will have done it in their freshman and senior years).

Oh what could have been if MoC had not been Clarett-like before the 03 season...

By the end of the season I think 2002 will be recognized as one of the greatest recuiting classes ever at OSU. Just like Will Smith, Kenny Peterson and Matt Wilhelm became monsters in their senior years... I'll bet the farm you'll see the same with Mike Kudla, Quinn Pitcock and Mike D'Andrea. Those are three names I think you'll add to your list when it's all said and done.
P.S> There is a farm in New York City. |
