As a realist, I'd say that it is very sad that you judge success in football by comparing your team to OSU.

[TheTruth]

Colorado's class is Top 20. Which is nice after the terrible classes we've had the past couple years. We get that RB from Cali and we could be a top 15 or so class. Not bad. Boise State II here we come.

[MajorMike]

Oooops. Maybe you should have waited to post this until all of the recruiting was over.

[Ignignokt]

avg star rating. CU>>>>>OSU

let me see Osu's class is already wrapped up, with 27 and CU has only 16, yeah im confident we'll finish ahead of you.

[Ignignokt]

we have 7 four stars, and you have 6. We are waiting for Darrell scott to chose us or UT, and we're only one spot behind you with 11 less players right now.

You compare your program to the lowest of the low, with aspirations of being A&M one day.

Nope.

Let’s look at the 2007 All-Big 12 team and see where each player ranked according to Rivals.com’s star system. My guess is there’s some players that completely swooped in under the radar.

Listed below are all the first-teamers along with their original star score (out of five) plus their individual ranking for their respective position.

FIRST-TEAM OFFENSE
Adam Spieker, C, Missouri: 3 stars as OG (No. 26)
Duke Robinson, OG Oklahoma: 4 as OT (15)
Anthony Collins, OT, Kansas: 2 as DE (unranked)
Tony Hills, OT, Texas: 5 as TE (1)
Louis Vasquez, OT, Texas Tech: 3 (24)
Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State: 2 (unranked)
Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech: 4 as ATH (16)
Jordy Nelson, WR, Kansas State: walk-on
Jamaal Charles, RB, Texas: 4 (7)
Dantrell Savage, RB, Oklahoma State: 4 (unranked, juco)
Chase Daniel, QB, Missouri: 3 (6)
Jeremy Maclin, AP, Missouri: 4 as WR (24)
Jeff Wolfert, PK, Missouri: walk-on

FIRST-TEAM DEFENSE
George Hypolite, DT, Colorado: 3 as FB (13)
James McClinton, DT, Kansas: 3 (28)
Auston English, DE, Oklahoma: 3 (15)
Lorenzo Williams, DT, Missouri: 3 as LB (46)
Jordon Dizon, LB, Colorado: 3 as FB (8)
Curtis Lofton, LB, Oklahoma: 4 (4)
Joe Mortensen, LB, Kansas: 2 (unranked)
Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri: 2 (unranked)
Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas: 2 (unranked)
Terrence Wheatley, CB, Colorado: 3 (57)
Reggie Smith, CB, Oklahoma: 4 (5)
William Moore, FS, Missouri: 3 as WR (64)
Tim Reyer, P, Kansas State: walk-on

What’s this tell me? This sample size is certainly small, but how about the fact that Crabtree and Maclin were the only players from a school other than Oklahoma or Texas to receive four or more stars? Three defensive standouts didn’t earn a national position ranking, while an All-American on offense, K-State’s Nelson, couldn’t even nab a scholarship coming out of high school.

[ReggieF]

it also tells you that the rankings place a lot of weight on a player getting offers from the likes of texas and OU. A better indication will be to look at the 1st round of the NFL draft from previous years, All Conference teams are also somewhat political...

[Ignignokt]

Nope.

You're a . OSU's class is already maxed out. You already have 27 recruits. You're not going to get any better. Meanwhile CU only has 16 and is one spot below. CU will finish ahead of OSU.


and i don't give a about your women's kegel 1st place trophy, or the men's national championship in foosball.

this is true. it's virtually impossible for a school like USC, Florida State, Notre Dame, or Texas to get a low ranked recruiting class because many of the players are ranked high simply due to that school's interest.

[MajorMike]

Wow, look at Mr. Uninformed. It must suck all the time to make silly statements that you will later have to go back on. And a rude little girl at that.

I guarantee you OSU's class will be at least 28 and possibly 29. We currently are trying to pry a RB away from arKy and get a LB from Ohio.

you guys are both putting way too much faith in the rankings. remember when CU signed the #1 HS QB and #1 HS RB in the same year? how did that turn out?

[Ignignokt]

boo!

what's your ranking now?

[MajorMike]

Would you like me to bait you into another arguement about how silly the rankings are (UW signed 26, 5 - 4 star, 14 - 3 star, ave 2.92 and yet finished ahead of OSU with 27, 6 - 4 star, 16 - 3 star, ave 3.04) or would you like to just be excited for your school and the 1st time they have beaten OSU at recruiting this century?

Again, comparing your school, which has a national championship in recent history, to OSU and being happy you out recruited them for the 1st time is extremely sad.

I can see the t-shirts for sale now, "CU - 15, OSU - 27."

How 'bout that basketball game last night?

[K-State Spur]

is there anything worse than fans talking "recruiting" smack? that's lame even by message board standards.

[johnsmith]

CU!!!


Go CSU

[Whisky Dog]

is there anything worse than fans talking "recruiting" smack? that's lame even by message board standards.

this is true.

[Ignignokt]

How 'bout that basketball game last night?

or the ping pong tournament, or the pie eating contest.

[Ignignokt]

this is true.

ofcourse, you'd be the last person to agree.

[ReggieF]

Notice how capt. mike goes from saying you should have waiting, basically gloating about how O$u's class was better to then backpedaling and changing the subject. I detect a pattern. Now he will respond by saying I know nothing about recruiting blah blah blah.

[Ignignokt]

and that's because captn is a tool.

[MajorMike]

That's perfect; when you can't win an arguement on facts, make it personal. True class.
