Initially I expected the cats to have more than one player picked, but it is a pretty good list.

I think we've just uncovered why we haven't won a MAC Championship in that period.

But, we have great recruiting BLSS. ;)


Off the top of my head, there's one notable omission: Terrell Basham.

And another that's worth considering in the omitted conversation: TJ Carrie.


After that, there really isn't anyone I can think of that truly belongs there.

Think this list fairly highlights the gap in talent between the East and West over this time period?

Often great individual performances are the result of one player having to carry the entire team on its back. Think in basketball; there seems to be a really good scorer on half the bad teams.

If the starters aren't playing as many minutes and hauling in the production of two positions out of necessity their stats will be naturally lower.

There may be a few people on the list who qualify as 'good stats, bad team' guys, but most of them were on pretty damn good teams. A lot of MAC Championships and Bowl Game appearances on that list.

I'd like to see this carried out to first, second and third teams. Basham, Brown, Carrie, The kicking specialists, maybe even AJ show up. I wonder how that would compare. The margin of error is high on the small sample size.

An interesting tidbit - 3 of those players were originally coming to Ohio. Hunt and Roberts were the same year, but their grades weren't good enough. Lewis had the issue with alleged rape. Do you think our record would have been better with them?

He’s just justifying mediocrity
