[net.sport.football] Recruiting Ratings Sought

thr@cbsck.UUCP (Tim Robison) (02/14/86)

       Since the college football recruiting season has come to a
       close, could anyone out there post a rating of how different
       universities fared or some sort of top twenty crops.  I had
       heard that Alabama and UCLA were doing quite well, along
       with Notre Dame.  I know my team, the OSU Buckeyes, nabbed 3
       of the top 10 linemen in the nation, but did not do as well
       in the running back department (OSU stated that they had to
       stop recruiting a number of players, especially running
       backs, due to the stricter grade guidelines passed in
       January by the NCAA).  I'm sure many of us on the net would
       appreciate any available information.  Thanx in advance.

Tim, a week ago or so the USA Today (newspaper) had a headline article
regarding the top 100 college prospects and the colleges to which thay
had signed letters of intent.  The headline read something like, "PAC
10, etc., etc. gets cream of the crop".  I noticed the PAC 10 primarily
because I'm more interested in that conference and because the headline
lead off with them.  It also mentioned a couple of other conferences and
Notre Dame.  Basically, the PAC 10 had the best recruiting year of any
conference with UCLA, Washington and Southern Cal all doing very well.
I don't recall seeing anything about OSU, but do remember Notre Dame
as being right up there.  
I probably should have kept a copy, but needless to say I didn't.

According to The Sporting News, Michigan and UCLA had the best recruiting
season, each getting 8 of their top 100 players.  Others that were high on
their list were Florida, NotreDame, USC, Ohio State, and Oklahoma.
Surprise, surprise!!
