Let's all just appreciate the fact that, according to these guys, Lewis, Peppers, and Hurst are all better than every single player on Ohio State. Michigan's five players on this list is second only to Alabama with seven.

7 - Jourdan Lewis

16 - Jabrill Peppers

27 - Maurice Hurst

31 - Chris Wormley

72 - Ryan Glasgow

This was my question too. I get Gary not being ranked as a true freshman but arguably the best TE in the country can't crack a top 100 list?

That's the one surprising omission on our side, however the list doesn't include any tight ends so they must just inherently not grade out highly in the sites system.

I know that it's greedy, and probably won't impact the D-Line too much because of depth, but I REALLY wish that Willie Henry had come back this year.

Not gonna be the last guy we lose early now that we've got a staff that can recruit and develop at a high level.  It would've been nice to have him.  But given the depth on DL, I'm happier that Lewis and Butt stayed than I am sad that Henry left.

I know PFFs metrics favor them, but Wormley and Hurst seem awfully high. Obviously they are good but considering this is all players, their respective positions has to put each in the top 5 of their position group. Seems a bit high

What's the deal Ed Davis? Have seen a couple posts pointing out that (A) he really doesn't qualify for a 6th year, and secondly, MSU has yet to even put the application into the NCAA. Seems like the rest of the world is taking for granted that he will play this fall.

I happen to think this isn't entirely accurate. Butt and Jehu aren't playing this year? Damnit I'm gonna miss them guys.

Edit: Oh yeah, and Jimmy cracked corn bitches. Get it? Passing Academy Champ anyone for $5000?

Of course this list is not entirely accurate, but I'll favor this any day over a list by someone who picks players based simply on his perception of them. It's crazy how players can get under or over rated because of how the media or fans talk about them.
