Still ho-hum for PSU.
You have Braxton Miller listed as a DE...
he's going by their expected position in college rather than high school position.
I hadn't heard of him being recruited to play Defense.
There's a reason for that.
What happened to Ron Zook's "famed" recruiting?
when your job's on death watch. IF Zooker wins this year, the recruiting picks up. When the Zooker loses this year, Illinois becomes a wasteland for recruits since quality coaches are going to take some time looking at the situation what with Ron Turner & the Zooker failing, and Fitzgerald building a budding monster in Northwestern, possibly taking the Chicagoland recruits Illinois football relies on for life.
I was feeling good vibes early in the recruitment of offensive lineman, however looking at the above and seeing that osu and nd each have 4 OL commits with mich sitting at 0 is a bit disheartening. I know we are keeping this class smallish, and the current state of our offensive line is comfortable but thats no excuse.
We have some nice athletes, but lets lock up a few big guys rich.
spencer isn't rated by rivals? Man they are turning themselves into a joke
...or they only had rankings up for their top 250 at the time of publishing.
One or the other.
