The Lions' Pride

None of those kids have played one snap in college, let alone one snap of football their senior years in high school. Some of those four and five stars will bust. Stop getting carried away with the star grab, or counts.

I look at Meyer. He is doing nothing more than grabbing stars instead of looking at his roster for needs. He has a roster management problem down the road at three positions right now.

No because traditionally, Ohio State struggles to develop the higher rated kids. As for Michigan, they have a heck of a class and I'm not sure that they have had one like this ever. However, we haven't seen what they can do in a prostyle offense, so i don't really think that we can judge them too much. As for us, we will probably end up with the best offensive recruiting class out of the 3. We have one of the best QB's, the top TE, a top RB (if Williams comes), potentially the #1 WR, and potentially the #2 OT. We are fine right now with our recruiting.

I will always take quality over quantity.

Its funny because when we went on our surge of recruits, their fans were shocked as well. We took a lead over OSU and they took notice. Now theyre surging and we're grinding. Its all cyclical.

Theyll get some damn fine players. So will we. Coaching is what will matter the most.

Threads like this always kill me. We are not talking about Rutgers and Pitt here, we are talking about OSU and Michigan. They will always recruit well, and always be a challenge for us. When you consider where we were in December of last year to where we are now it is basically a revelation. We need to control the things we can control and the rest will take care of its self. OSU has the glamour status of Urban Liar, and UM always has national cache. We need to rebuild our brand as I'm sorry to say the previous regime let a lot of our luster erode in the last decade.

People have to remember. Urbs was doing the same thing in Gainesville. Nothing but star grabs and had some roster management issues. There was a reason why some of that four and five star talent bolted before they graduated - transferred.

I am not counting Sr's that will be there this year as we are working with the 2013 class. I will also qualify this with I am not an OSU fan so I do not know if all of these are scholarship players or not. I will say that the size of the recruit classes and the size of the grad class do not match up and that there are fewer grads than recruits. Some recruits appear to have dropped off the depth chart already.

9 OT's looking to take pocic as well, add 7 OG and 4 C and thats 4 deep on the OL.

8 at S

7 RB's

10 at DE

10 at WR with none yet this yr

So that is 55 ppl and still need TE(3), QB(4), DT(6), CB(6), K/P/LS(3) and ILB/OLB's(8)

I will leave out FB's since he won't likely use them. To get to 85 you are looking at the numbers in brackets above but they have 5 qb's, 4 in the k/p/ls area, 8 cb's and 9 lb's. Like I said, there will be a number on the depth chart that are not scholarship guys but when you factor in the loss of schollies the math gets troublesome and there is going to have to be some adjutments.

I couldn't be happier with recruiting so far and anyone that thinks otherwise is wrong.

I mean, there's always room to be happier. That said, I'm happy with recruiting so far.

This is awesome for PSU in the long run. The stronger the Big 10, the better the champion, who will be more prepared to compete for national championships. Everyone has to step up their game and compete, thus far our staff is up to the task.

Also be happy to know that every year one of these teams is guaranteed to finish with an L due to cross-scheduling.

How is it that your 3 & 4 star class is better than other teams 4 & 5 star classes. If the shoe was on the other foot and you had OH or MI class you would be singing a different song. To the point of some of the post they are right when they say they are just numbers. The play on the field will be the tell all.

It wasn't too long ago that people thought the program was dead for good. Now people are suggesting we should be concerned because osu and mi are doing a little better than us a yr before signing day?
Anyone who thinks that is flat out wrong. The staff is putting in 100% effort and landing huge recruits. We've got a Brand new hc with zero experience and were still in the midst of the biggest cfb scandal ever. Interpreting where we're at right now in any way other than positive is incorrect.
