OSU Football Recruiting: 2006-09

[RobotParty]

*I posted this on the scout recruiting forum, but the thread quickly became more of a xxxx-brawl-xxxxx-match than a discussion. I like the way that topics are kept more-focused on this board, so I have decided to bring some more discussion to this neck of the woods. I hope you guys enjoy. Take care. *

When you mix these high-profile guys with hard-working, lower-ranked players, heavyweight champion wrestlers, state-champion track stars and a large number of state-champion football players, you get a college football program that will be very hard to knock out of the top-5 through at least 2012. We're all lucky to be a part of such a great time for OSU football.
