Finn and Big Steve were projects from Day 1 and Keith W. was a walk-on. Unless I'm drawing a total blank on someone, was the last good big we recruited in the '60's?

Not quite 50 years, but BIGs sure haven’t been breaking-down the door to come here. Ashman was the 2nd highest rated HS BIG in Ohio in 1996 (behind Collier). Hare was pretty highly-rated (IIRC) coming out of HS in 1991. McCracken in ‘86. Wells in ‘76. But yeah, your point is well-taken. If you have to go back 22 years to find a 4-star BIG commit to your program out of HS, then you’re striking out more than you’re hitting home runs.
