He’ll be keeping a tab, too… at BW3.I'll be keeping tabs on him this year
I'll be keeping tabs on him this yearThat QB is a beast.
I think that 250 goes hand in hand with how difficult lolTough… or 250lbs.
Eh I think they’ve been fine.The trenches have some work to do. Good thing is plenty of time to get better.
Tough… or 250lbs.Pressure is there in the front but this QB is tough to bring down
You have to factor in some who are about 10 drinks deep right now brotherDo we really need a ‘rules expert’ to tell us a guy needs to control the catch and get a foot dowin inbounds?
Arch Manning would go down in that situation.I think I read the Ball State QB is like 5'10" and 230 or something? Might be a bit hard to tackle today.
I mean, that QB is built like a brick shithouse3 guys had a sack and can't get ahold of him!
Too put it plainly, hes not good enough at this time for OSU compared to the DBs they have coming in. Hes listed as a CB, but I think he eventually moves to S. But if he stays at CB, Malone is faster and more athletic and Carey has the tools to turn into a shutdown CB and also is faster and plays against the best competition in the country every week. TBH, Eli Johnson is a better version of Combs. They’re 1in apart in height, but same weight. Johnson plays in TX 5A, so he plays some top competition each week and also is known for his closing speed and ball skills but at a better level.Does anyone who follows recruiting know if Ohio State has looked at Roman Combs out of Lakota West? He's a huge DB/Ath who I saw get 2 interceptions against St. X in week 1 and either an int or fumble return for a 48 yard touchdown against Lakota East in week 2. Not sure what he did tonight, but they got another win.
He was the difference in Lakota West defeating Princeton in last year's basketball matchup, despite all the more hyped-up blue chip prospects in that game. I think he was suspended for the basketball playoffs due to something with his transfer (maybe from the Louisville area?), and who knows if Princeton wins the state title if Combs is back on the court for Lakota West in the playoffs.
I know he is currently committed to Purdue for football (over offers from Indiana, Penn State, Iowa, Illinois), but man, with those ball skills at 6'4" and about 200 lbs, he is a nice looking prospect, and a winner. Just wondering if those who actually follow recruiting have heard anything.
But odds are the Ball State punt doesn't end up at the one if he's punting from 9 yards further away. I'm not really sweating it because I want to see what the kid can do and it's Ball State, but it shows a lack of discipline from a kid who's already had some sort of minor issue that kept him out of a few practices.
