Did Rourke officially sign?

Very odd they have a photo of every recruit that signed except Rourke. But I do see his name so that's good.

For what it's worth, I see we are 92 on Rivals list which means we are still ahead of Kansas and BYU, two Power 5 schools. I realize these recruiting service are a crap shoot since it seems everyone is thinking we did well, and 92 is all they would give us. Not sure I have ever seen this many MAC schools above 100. It seems to me a few years back we nearly had half of the MAC below 100. For the record, Northern Illinois, Central Michigan, Western Michigan and Miami are ahead of us. Toledo is at 95, and the strange ranking is that Miami (65) is only 12 spots lower than UCLA (55.) Not sure if that means we need to worry about our nemesis or quickly get the Bruins on schedule. Then again maybe these recruiting services are still adjusting to the Early Signing Date. OK this is very strange, but I just now see that the Rivals list has several ties which means we aren't that far from the bottom--very strange!

Note that Rivals does not cover Ohio recruiting at all, nor other G5 schools, unless that school has a Rivals board. They do not review film on Ohio recruits, nor evaluate Ohio recruits. If the recruit had already been evaluated, as in, if the recruit attended a Rivals camp, they give Ohio credit, but if the recruit had not been evaluated previously, Ohio recruits are never ranked. On the Rivals team ranking list, try clicking on it to see a list of Ohio recruits. You can't do it, as they don't have such a list.

The only ranking service that actually makes an effort to rank all the players is 247Sports. Their rankings aren't necessarily more accurate, but they are more complete. Here is their Team Ranking page, where they have Ohio at #85
https://247sports.com/Season/2019-Football/CompositeTeamR... /

There will be another signing period in January. I'm not sure that Ohio will sign many players, if any, in Janauary. They seem to be at 85 on scholarship already. Therefore, they may slip a few more spots in the final rankings. In any case, I really, really like this recruiting class, and think that it is the best one yet.

I'm impressed that our recruiting has not only gone national, but worldly in scope with recruits from Nassau, Bahamas and Innsbruck, Austria. Hell, we've even got a guy coming all the way from Neptune to be a Bobcat!
