Bodes well, especially considering that I believe Harris is the better of our two corners.

Lowry is better than that.

Odd.
I'm shocked that Vitale and Henry get no mention at all. And I cant remember but maybe Harris was injured for some of our BIG games last year, but I would have thought that he would have been borderline 3rd/4th team. And, Didn't Mitchell only miss like two FG's all year? I'm surprised he didn't get at least 4th place. I know we have a lot of rebuilding but I don't think my comment was a result of being purple colored. I mean, I know Vitale had a below par year but he has really lit up some BIG teams in his career.

Kinda hard to take a guy seriously that doesn't have one of the three dOSU QB's as first team. I'd be tempted to put them 1st, 2nd, and third team

I just don't get how Harris doesn't get his props. No way there are 16 better DB's. I think Vitale could slip in as well if we target him like we should. Walker could make it too if he develops as quickly as he started to last year. Might be a year early, but he'll be on this list before its all said and done at NU.

True. But he has the order wrong as well. I'd take Cardell Jones over any other QB in the nation.

No Kidding!

If we are recruiting better shouldn't we be doing better than 4 preseason picks for 96 spots, i.e. below average? I'm wondering if there is a better way to tell if we are recruiting better than the star system.

Pre season doesn't matter. At all. Period.

Vitale was under utilized last year. Still, it is strange.

Maybe Steele doesn't recognize the Superback position.

Seems that our coaches also don't recognize the so called Superback position for long stretches of time.
