There are some good players on this list, but also more than a few that just didn't work out. Remember not to take the recruiting rankings too seriously.
Great point well made. It is clearly hit and miss when it comes to the rankings. Look at some of Ohio's greatest players over the last decade and it is easy to see a ton of misses too. Among the ESPN 'NON-Rated' were Tarell Basham, Nathan Rourke, Papi White, Quentin Poling, Tremayne Scott, Chad Moore. Among the recruits not even making the NON-Rated list, aj ouellette, Bradd Ellis, etc.
There are too many recruits to track and none of this seems to measure the amount of heart a dude has, even with 4/5 star recruits. Where Bradd Ellis started to where he finished is about as respectable as it gets. Ellis willed his FBS career to happen and made a ton of big plays his last year.
Off the subject a bit but when it comes to watching college football for me there is a special place for dudes like Ellis, DL Knock, Ouellette, etc. They did something no one thought they would be doing and did it well.
