I took a look back to see the top 2012 recruits headed to the Big Ten via Rivals.com...its definitely not a complete science but one that is interresting to follow. Out of the Top 20 players we are only looking at 4 players that will be drafted this year by an NFL team, 3 of which are from OSU. This was Urban Meyers 1st class at OSU, he did a great job of putting together a Top 5 class when he was only on the job for 2 months...OSU had a total of 9 players.
