There has been a lot of discussion about the level of talent Ohio has been getting. So I'm curious how you would rate the current Ohio recruiting classes (2010 through 2014), given what we now see on the field.

2010 - Key players: Carpenter, Kristoff, Cochran, Ingol, Prior
2011 - Key players: Russel, Crutcher, L.Smith, Vick, Bass, Powell, McQueen,
2012 - Key players: Windham, S. Smith, Patterson, Laseak, Davis, Reid, Edmonds, Sprague (walk-on)
2013 - Key players: Cope, Poling, Alexander, Mangen, Basham, Sayles, Smart
2014 - Key players: Walker, Pruehs, Lowery, McCray, Langenkamp, White, Ouellette (walk-on)

I'm sure I missed some key plays, but I'm curious as to your rankings - one (best) through five (worst)

I posted this in another thread, which is based on my evaluation after they arrived:
2006 (Germano) - 2.68 (Price, Hodge, Luchsinger, Posey, McCrae, Williamson, Garrett, S. Jackson)
2007 (Germano) - 2.65 (Keller, Flading, Dunlop, Strum, Brazill, Harden, Davidson, C. Meyers)
2008 (Germano) - 2.93 (Huynh, Carlotta, Carrie, Weller, Herman, Thompson, Lewis, Futrell, Moore, Tafua)
2009 (Germano) - 2.94 (Lechner, Hughes, Fortune, Woseley, Allen, Dovell, Jones, Foster, McGrath)
2010 (Isphoding) - 2.15 (Carpenter, Cochran, Krstoff, Ingol)
2011 (Haines) - 2.59 (Russell, L. Smith, Crutcher, McQueen, Wells, Vick, Purdum, Jov. Johnson, Bass, Lucas)
2012 (Haines) - 2.86 (Gibbons, Watson, Laseak, Patterson, B. Brown, Tor. Davis, Reid)
2013 (Haines) - 3.16 (Wood, Sayles, Poling, Basham, Mangen, Cope, McLeod)
2014 (Haines) - 3.40 (Lowery, McCray, Walker, Brunson, White, Preuhs, Brunis, Nelson, Langenkamp)

Then, in different thread, the number of other offers the recruits had, by year:
2005 (Jrs/Srs in 2008-2009) - 0.40 (25 freshmen)
2006 (Jrs/Srs in 2009-2010) - 0.93 (15)
2007 (Jrs/Srs in 2010-2011) - 0.84 (19)
2008 (Jrs/Srs in 2011-2012) - 2.00 (15)
2009 (Jrs/Srs in 2012-2013) - 1.24 (17)
2010 (Jrs/Srs in 2013-2014) - 1.08 (12)
2011 (Jrs/Srs in 2014-2015) - 2.50 (22)
2012 (Jrs/Srs in 2015-2016) - 2.71 (14)
2013 (Jrs/Srs in 2016-2017) - 2.28 (18)
2014 (Jrs/Srs in 2017-2018) - 2.28 (18)
2015 (Jrs/Srs in 2018-2019) - 3.46 (13 so far)

and the percent of players from the class that were making significant contributions by their second year:
2005 - 24% 6/25 (Stuck, Morsillo, Parson, Mitchell, Hartke, J. Meyers)
2006 - 33% 5/15 (Price, McCrae, Garrett, S. Jackson, Luchsinger)
2007 - 26% 5/19 (Davidson, Brazill, Dunlop, Keller, C. Meyers)
2008 - 67% 10/15 (Carlotta, Herman, Thompson, Bussey, Moore, Payne, Lewis, Huynh, Weller, Carrie)
2009 - 24% 4/17 (McGrath, Lechner, Woseley, Jones)
2010 - 33% 4/12 (Foster, Carpenter, Kristoff, Ingol)
2011 - 41% 9/22 (Fisher, Bass, Wells, Russell, Crutcher, Purdum, J. Johnson, L.Smith, Roback)
2012 - 57% 8/14 (Gibbons, Watson, Patterson, Reid, T. Davis, W. Johnson, Laseak, B. Brown)
2013 - 56% 10/18 (Mangen, Morgan, Cope, S. Smith, Quallen, Poling, Alexander, Basham, Sayles, Wood) plus Smart and Porter have played in 4/7 games
2014 - >53% 10/19 (Lowerey, Langenkamp, Pruehs, McCray,OUellette, Brunis, Walker, White, Brunson, Nelson) plus more by next year, I would guess

All the numbers come out the same, a jump around 2008-2009, which was reflected in the teams of 2011-12, and then a dip, followed by another jump in recent years, which should be reflected in 2015-2017.
