I’m not chastising Petrino with this post because he signed Malik and Pass in this same time frame, but Ridder would’ve have for sure come to UofL if he had been offered. He camped at UofL but never got an offer.

Short list of 2 star high school players. 2 star is based on an aggregate rating by multiple scouting services:

T.Y. Hilton, WR- ranked as the 1,930th wide receiver in the nation.

J.J. Watt, DE-walk-on at Wisconsin

Josh Allen, OLB- 2,121st ranked recruit in the nation.

Clay Matthews, OLB- Unranked walked on at SoCal

Carson Wentz, QB- Carson Wentz wasn’t even a blip on the national recruiting radar coming out of high school. Despite an incredible growth spurt – from 5’8″, 125 pounds to 6’3″ his junior year – he did not play quarterback until his senior year.

Tarik Cohen, RB- Unranked

Hunter Renfrow, WR- Unranked Walk On Clemson

Aqib Talib, CB- Only Offer Kansas

Jimmy Garoppolo, QB - Best Offer Eastern IL.


Shaquil Barrett, DE- Unranked University of Nebraska [Omaha] Colorado State

David Johnson, RB- Unranked Northern Iowa

Khalil Mack, OLB- 1 offer State University of New York at Buffalo [MAC]

Is that a surprise. How far from campus is St X. Definitely outside Bobby’s area of recruiting. Petrino should have never been given a penny.
