I think it's more than Miami always seems to have plenty of elite WR prospects (as compared with OSU) so the Robiskie offer does surprise me a little. |

Robiskie was hoping to impress during his camp outing in Columbus and he feels he performed well. He's hoping to get an offer soon and the Buckeyes are up towards the top of his list.

This is disturbing my fellow buckeye fans. Has anyone considered the fact that this kid may be an elite wr. Just because he doesn't have alot of offers and just because gurus are not giving him any love doesn't mean he's not awesome. This kid may be a sleeper and prove it this fall.
We as buck fanatics sometimes get confused about what is real and what is not. Don't get wrapped up in stars and things that idiots like Tom Lemon say. I hate to give Miami any credit but if the Canes are recruiting him he has alot of potential. I'm sure the Miami coaches would say the same thing if one of their recruits was being looked at by OSU.
This kid may have more potential than any WR in the country and maybe not. I don't have enough knowledge to judge that by watching film like the OSU coaches do. The coaches know what they want and can evaluate a recruit to see if he fits the system in which we play. If the kid is worthy of a buckeye offer he will get one. |

It seems to me that the terms "elite" and "sleeper" are mutually exclusive.
That being said, no one is doubting Brian Robiskie's talent - he's good. The Bucks have one WR commitment already, and are in on some top talent both in-state and nationwide (Lymon, Sledge, Amos). Guys like Robiskie and Orton still have a chance to receive offers, but the Bucks are only going to take 2 or 3 WR's in this class, so it is likely that someone gets left out. |

As far as Manningham goes, I would take Robiskie and Hartline over him any day of the week. The video that I have seen of Manningham really didn't show me anything. |
From the video I've seen of Manningham and Hartline (and grant it's very limited for both) I would take Manningham over Hartline in a heartbeat. |

Wow, you miss a few hours on this board and you miss a lot. First of all I am not saying that Robiskie is or isn't an elite recruit. I don't know much about him except for what I've read on these boards. Sounds like he COULD be a good to great talent. However, regardless of what everyone thinks, getting an offer from Miami, especially if your a WR makes you pretty elite. I do agree that if Hartline got an offer(and subsequent committment) from OSU that he becomes a pretty elite talent. So I apologize for omitting him and Amos from our discussion. Tell me the last time Ohio had two or more top 20 national wide recievers in the same year. If you want to call those pessimists "bucknuts" that's fine, I am merely pointing out that they are out there and they will flock to this. After losing Davis last year they came out to mention that our conservative offense is going to hurt us in the future. I am not one of those detractors though. I feel we can recruit with anybody, particularly at WR. Does any other college have more WR's in the NFL?

LJB - I like this HS football links and am building a favorites folder from them. Will be nice to check schedules for both FB and BB and follow some of the recruits this fall.
