ESPN recruiting rankings are out, OSU is No. 10

ESPN.com put out its recruiting rankings today, and the Kentucky-topped list has OSU at No. 10. Here’s the link:

Obviously this is good news and great press for OSU, and Travis Ford’s seven-man recruiting class is impressive. But one thing to keep in mind is that the rankings don’t appear to take into account who will actually be arriving and eligible once fall comes. The last time I checked in with Ford both Karron Johnson and Jarred Shaw seemed to be in doubt for at least the fall semester. Without those two guys OSU’s class is still talented, but much less well-rounded and much, much smaller.

It really doesn't matter what level of recruits they get, or what teams they field, they always will be 'the aggies'

The DOK constantly downplays cowboy achievements, it's always been that way and it most likely always will be.

John Helsley grew up in Del City, reading all the newspapers and sports magazines he could get his hands on. And Saturday afternoons, when the Major League Game of the Week was on, he'd keep a scorecard for the game. So the sports appeal was was deep-rooted at an early age.

Mrs. Jackson, an English/Journalism teacher at Del City High, plucked him for the school paper, The Eagle Beacon, and John was hooked. While he detoured through a brief accounting career, John returned to college (Central Oklahoma) for a second degree and a second career that has seen him cover everything from the preps to the pros at The Oklahoman.

John lives in Edmond with his wife Roberta and two daughters, Sarah and Jillian, who are keeping the family tradition of cheering for the baseball team with the birds on the bat.
