Exactly what I was going to type. Not to mention the "bias" towards pass catching TE's anyway.

Rivals did a pretty big update to their positional rankings (adding a lot of kids compared to what they previously listed).
Here's a breakdown of OSU commits as well as some other targets and other Ohio kids.

Rivals has Zack Boren listed under ATH position? He's athletic for his position I suppose, but I wouldn't classify him as an Athlete per se.

That's the sorriest line of thinking I've ever heard. Essentially he's claiming that Ohio State has recruited kids who can't beat SEC talent, so obviously anyone who Ohio State recruits is worse than the kids that LSU and Georgia recruit.
That's just stupid. ESPN ranked Terrelle Pryor the #2 player in the nation last year; since he choose Ohio State, he is now worse than he would have been if he chose Georgia? Get out of here with that garbage. Ranking recruits is an art, not a science, but even considering that fact it's clear why ESPN plays third fiddle to Scout and Rivals. That would be because they can't tell their...behind from a hole in the ground. If you want to say "We don't like OSU's recruits as well as Georgia's", that's fine. People are welcome to their opinion, whether I disagree with it or not. However, justifying it with this kind of nonsense is just silly. I might as well say "OSU has the best class ever because aliens from the planet Xenu beamed messages into my brain that tell the future." It's equally ridiculous to what Luginbill is pushing.

These guys want it both ways. Last year when we had top guys at each position our class didn"t have big enough numbers to be rated at the top. If 33 warm bodies at Alabama is a better class on paper than 20 mostly elite type players at OSU, then at least we know the thinking being used. Fast forward one year when OSU will sign a big numbers class and now you want to apply qualitative analysis to OSU, rather than quantitative.
To let this stuff influence any of our thinking, other than to be entertainment on a "slow" day in recruiting is stupid. Luginbil obviously has an agenda. To value anything he does at a deeper level than just mental candy would be following Illinidarrin off into the abyss. |

Only two things in Luginbill's blather are worth noting...
" Understand we are in a business." "one of our guys [is] Bill Conley" Business = money trumps all Bill Conley = door - hit - ass It's a shame that the... "Bill are you going to stake your reputation on this opinion much like you did your evaluation of Mike Adams last year?" ...question didn't make it through. Or better yet "Bill which players specifically do you believe are not 'Ohio State caliber' so that we can be sure to get back to you in a couple of years about your judgement"....that of course won't happen because being accountable for their opinions is exactly what mewling wastes of air like Luginbill want to avoid.

My question is why are Buckeye fans even worried about this crap anyways. Don't buy their garbage magazine or subscribe to numbnuts. Don't watch their sorry channel unless you have too. I have stopped watching their station or ABC unless I have too. I'm glad theres a big10 network...I'm glad Fox is gonna be taking over soon. Hurt them where it hurts most...the wallet.

They were all 1*-3* players. Were these guys not "OSU caliber" in high school? I've heard a lot of absolutely STUPID garbage spew from some "recruiting expert"'s mouths over the years, but Tom Laughingstock just won the "King of the Idiots" dunce cap that Lemming has been wearing for Lord knows how long. I think he's doubting Jim Tressel's ability to evaluate talent, of which I would like to hear an argument about from his point of view (because I think it would actually be MORE laughable than that piece of garbage he just wrote). Only one way to shut the haters up: win it all, baby. And do it against the "mighty" SEC. |
