Pretty impressive list for the Longhorns. Of course the teams below them can add some more, but still impressive. Suprising how well the Irish are doing even given 3 top 250 recruits who changed their minds recently.

Also pretty instructive to note that teams like Wisc get by pretty well without a bunch of highly rated players.

 

Look at all the teams who beat us listed below us... or not at all.

 

:idea:
Troy Niklas of Servite HS is a great one and a big one. I've seen him play and we could use him.

 

Hey Gip, I see that ND has as many top 250 players as UF and just one less than UA. I wonder why? :?

 

Promise of eternal salvation, trumps earthly rewards!

 

Terry,
I guess that's it. Like I said the "Beacon on the Hill" 8)

 

Wisky's heritage has always consisted of an outstanding back running downhill behind a big, physical offensive line....they always are competitive for great running backs and then develop big strong uppermidwestern kids to kick ass and take names along the front....my guess is that projecting greatness along the front is likely more difficult than the more athletic positions....but I don't know any running back that wouldn't want to line up in the I behind those monsters typically found in Madison.....

 

Our decomits haven't selected their new schools yet.

 

Still waiting on the highest bid obviously.
