Most of the BIG names have declared, and Texas will likely end up with the #1 Class, followed by Florida, Alabama and a few other SEC Schools (6 in the top 10 to this point). On Wednesday (02.03.10) it’ll all settle, sans the possibility some Terrell Pryor/Bryce Brown type decides to ride the “LOVE-ME” train a little longer. For Pryor, it kinda made his two years of comparable “let-down” kinda interesting. And for UMichy and PeniSUfans, may have been a little humorous? OK, so in Michy’s case, they are PROBABLY a little more concerned with their direction, than how much better off both Pryor and THEY would be had it gone to Ann Arbor. Michiganis addressing their defensive needs in this class, but as far as top recruits coming in, that hasn’t yet returned. They will be better going forward, but Richie-Rod will wear asbestos underwear in this, his final year at the helm. Michigan will not be improved enUFf to save him….and the rope he’s been (to this point)given is long enUFf. PeniSU has righted the ship under Coke Bottle Glasses Guy, and lead the big10 in this years race. Its largely believed they’ll fall off a little in the conference THIS year, but are re-loading with this 2010 class.

 There are two semi-high profile recruits, possibly, who will run this route this year. The extra time did little good for either of the two mentioned above; Pryor has been largely mis-used in Columbus, and Bryce Brown will move on to the NFL without ever playing in a January Bowl game! Still, I’m sure those extra weeks of Coaches coming by to blow you, were well worth the delay. In Pryor’s case, though, at least he’ll be playing for his conference Title every year. As much a credit to the his team, as it is for his conference. This year, he’ll have to beat scUMiami, Wiscony and Iowa. The two in conference games could be the most competition they had in a long while! scUMiami could be better this year than last. They have a ton of young fast players, that just didn’t handle the hot start so well last year. The game in 2011 will be the tUFfer game, but Pryor will likely make the jump by then…..based on potential more than appeal, I believe. He’s got the tools, he’s just not been able to play the kind of offense he’s built to play. tOSU fans would agree with that, following a loss. They might disagree with that line of thinking now, though. Fresh off a win against Defense-challenged Oregon (who was SHUT down by BSU in game one!), they have boners for the “O” now! At the time, of the Boise win over Ore-gone, it was considered an aberration. The team showed improvement. HOWEVER! -Noting what side of the ball matters (exclusively) in the PAC10 (sans USC), it may mean a little somethin’-somethin’..?? Oregon got to #7 by beating Arizona by 3 in double OT (44-41) and by beating Oregon State IN EUGENE, by 3 (UC smoke OSU in Corvallis in 2010,..smoked ‘em!) Arizona was shut-out in its Bowl game against Nebraska!

UCincinnati class rank, thus far?….With INdy’s DyJuan Lewis (top 150 player/recruit) in the mix, they are up to #58, per Rivals. HERE
