So I was digging around a little on 24/7 and looking at their historical rankings of recruiting classes, where I discovered the following for tOSU:
Year | Ranking |
---|---|
2000 | 9 |
2001 | 6 |
2002 | 4 |
2003 | 46 |
2004 | 62 |
2005 | 71 |
2006 | 22 |
2007 | 67 |
2008 | 8 |
2009 | 4 |
2010 | 15 |
2011 | 7 |
2012 | 5 |
2013 | 2 |
2014 | 3 |
2015 | 7 |
2016 | 4 |
Clearly, we sucked at recruiting in that five year stretch from 2003-2007 (relatively speaking). Funny thing is living through that time as an avid fan, I really don't recall us sucking as bad as this data makes out.
It also shows the 2009 class as having had 36 signees, don't remember us taking that many either...
Anyone know if the 24/7 data is somehow borked or is my memory playing (more) tricks on me?
