That's kinda the point we were making. Maybe we slums offerhim as both LB and short yardage back. He's already older than his classmates right, so his body is more mature. Theres no doubt he can play because he dominates on a big high school stage. He's a ridiculous athlete so special teams is also likely in the picture.

We offer "athletes" all the time do why not and see where he shines. Then we also get inside track in the brother. I'm sure they have a strategy that we aren't privy to but losing these two kids reminds me of losing some great players in our state from the past and it tastes bad.

Id like to throw a rock at that troll

Will be interesting who shows out in the short yardage situations. From what have seen/read, all of these guys can do the break aways, by making second level miss, but the guys that can get the one-two yards between the tackles have yet to surface (or so I believe). Also believe that will be the quickest way to the field. Anyway, call it rationalization, but believe tOSU will be just fine at RB this year. Will let next year alone until next year.

Go back and watch the 2019 Game and you can almost see the moment. I think it was Dobbins long run. They panned to Harbaugh and you could see a fuse blew in that simple, chimp like mind of his.

I think his ego could somehow hold on after being bested by Urban but then when the protege beat him he fucking snapped.

Looking back now it all started after that 2019 edition of The Game.

I remember thinking this after Fields came back in and threw the TD to Wilson. Jimmy looks up at the scoreboard and knows he’s never getting out from under this boot and his entire career is fucked.

Can’t wait till he’s run out of LA.

I would think that the safest way to invest in Clavicular would be to take out a life insurance policy on him and wait for what seems to be the near-term inevitable.

Bud Light has resumed its LGBTQ+ marketing campaigns after last years’ backlash subsided

Interesting

I will say this. If, as reported, he actually just liked UT better than OSU without money being considered, they’re idiots for paying him a premium over what OSU offered.

I think sour grapes are fun. I think taking the high road is boring.

You should also be reasonable about what you post on the internet for the world to see, but the reverse side of that coin is that a lot of the “I wish him the best” public facing statements are virtue signaling.

I wish him nothing and think he made a bad decision. I will be interested to see if his poor decision has ramifications for him down the road.

This. He surrounded himself with certain people that helped make this whole recruitment "circus like" down the stretch. I wish him nothing. But also I agree OSU will be fine. I'm just ready to move this thread....

Time will tell, but based on workout videos, I doubt the kid is a soft cookie. I do think that even with all the work that has to be done to be the best it is important to have some fun too and that it’s possible to be too calculated and “professional”. The OSU program does seem to strike the right balance most of the time from my bs view, and the reporting is probably bs, but if it’s accurate, I don’t think DGG’s perception makes him “soft”.

Jaxbuck said:

OSU coaches wanted him badly. If he is “soft” then they had misjudged his character badly, no?

Just because he wasn't "feeling the vibe" as the kids say, doesn't mean he's soft by any stretch. He's a 17 year old and this is likely his first real life-altering decision. As the Common Idiot says on 97.1, let him live.

Ohio State will be fine.

That's why this place is still the best around. Everyone doesn't always agree but at least conversations usually remain mostly civil.

Except for us fringe elements anyway.
