football all-American teams

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.

Really surprised Cook isn't on there..... Heck of a RB. Will go down as one of the best at YSU

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.
