OhioPreps.com, a Rivals.com subsidiary, has finished releasing its positional rankings of Ohio's Class of 2013 prospects... 8 out of 8 Michigan verbal commits from Ohio rank in the top three at their respective positions. Needless to say, it is extremely apparent that Hoke and Co. are putting an enormous focus on recruiting the Buckeye state, and we are securing both quality and quantity with their effort.

We have the #1 player in Ohio at FIVE positions...(RB, TE, S, DE, and LB)....
As much as most of us hate the state, you cannot deny that Ohio has outstanding high school football talent.. If we can consistently recruit players that are Top 3 at their position in the state, we are going in the right direction....
Who cares about state borders? It's about bringing in kids who are going to make the program better. It doesn't matter if they're from Ohio, Oklahoma, or Oregon.
ReplyDeleteI think the state of Ohio has a lot I significance because of the magnitude of the rivalry. A prospect in Oklahoma, for example, may be raised with an affinity for the sooners but they aren't taught to despise Michigan.. We are getting kids from Ohio.. Preventing life long fans, legacies, etc from going to our biggest rivals.. It's a double win.. We get great prospects from a great football state, and secondly, OSU doesn't get them
ReplyDeleteFor shame, you mean Ohio doesn't get them.
