Title: football all-American teams
Post by: guin52 on December 14, 2012, 09:39:57 AM
Looking at the all-American teams it appears that no player from YSU is represented, everyone says our talent level is up it doesn' appear anybody else thinks so.

Like I pointed out earlier; We have all time leaders/record breakers in YSU history at QB and TB but nothing to show for it  team wise :'(

"Talent level is up" is highly subjective.  Is the level better than when Wolford arrived?  I would answer - yes.  Does the talent match the level of the many All-Americans from the Tressel years?  I would answer - no.

No doubt Cook was good.  Should see him show up on an NFL roster.

I would not agree. The individual talent-level is up in some cases. However, the team talent-level is not there. Unfortunately that is a sign of coaching. As to recruiting ...we have yet to recruit a team. Or maybe we have and the coaching is not providing a "team" environment for them to flourish. The former coaches players continue to be the stars (or at least the best players); when they were shunned, just two-years ago, by this coaching staff.

I tend to agree and it seems that JH's rap was that he couldn't recruit but a couple guys in the NFL and still the majority of YSU's better players are his as well, maybe he was a little better than he was given credit for.

Cook may have a shot at a practice squad in the NFL, but I do not belive that he is fast enough or explosive enough to make it as a starter on an NFL roster.  He is a great back and he is powerful, but I just don't see it.
