This time of year, many of us experience high levels of anxiety based off the looming decisions of 18 year olds. While this year is extremely promising, anxiety still reigns supreme.

With that being said, a quick look back at the recruiting rankings of our two unanimous All-Americans this year should offer some comfort that Urban & Co. can not only recruit; they can develop! 

Both Hooker and Elflein were 3-star kids, yet they became unanimous first team All-Americans. Furthermore, Elflein was the lowest rated kid in the OSU class (and the 983rd rated player at his position). Now he's one of the best! I am curious if any team in the modern recruiting era (since they added star rankings) has ever taken two 3-stars and turned them into unanimous All-Americans on the same team.

It's a great time to be a Buckeye Fan!
