  How strong is the Horizon Conference?

  Traditionally the Horizon is not a very strong conference.
  
  Kent St. - usually gets some of the top recruits in Ohio that decide to play college ball in Ohio.
  UC - has made some strides in recruiting recently and have brought in some nice players.
  OSU - seems to have an arrogance about them when recruiting, we are OSU you should want to play for us type of thing.
  Miami - has put together two nice recruiting classes from the HS classes of 08 and 09.
  Xavier - Don't know too much about them but some of the recruits from 09 class seem to be very unpolished and may or may not work out for them
  OU - personally I think Carbone is past his prime and they need a change but IDK if that will happen.
  Toledo - turning things around. Nice HS class of 09 recruits
  BG - I don't know too much about them but they can hit. Tend to recruit kids from NW Ohio.
  Akron - under .500 with Bangston at the helm

  I've heard several comments confirming your assessment of OSU Fred. That's a shame.

  Didn't Dayton or Wright State (maybe both) win their conference last year, either regular season or tournament?

  I did not intentionally leave Dayton or Wright St. off the list I was just going off the top of my head.
  
  Dayton did win the regular season league championship, I just don't know much about them.
  Wright St. is a nice program as well and are still building, they usually play a very tough non-conference schedule.

  Coach Bangtson(AKRON) now getting more recruits from other states. Things starting to look a little better for the ZIPS. I'll let you know for sure next year!
