Wiltfong and Simmons both logged predictions for Vargas to Ohio State this morning.

Has the clock officially started on optimism of how much better the next US Men's World Cup team will be?

And now I know how those college fans for programs like TN and Oregon feel. So great on paper and the first few games of the season, then reality hits and a quick exit from relevancy.

His brother, Chris, is obviously a Buckeye, but didn't I also read that his sister is on tOSU basketball team? Come on DeMarcus, join OUR family here in Columbus, as well as YOURS. That would give Diebs three young 5*s at once.

Looks like a solid compliment to 6'6" Elsa in the post. This is gonna be a team to enjoy. Final Four, here we come!

For all the talent, they still don’t have that American grit and life or death attitude required to win at the international level.

I was a huge Pulisic fan but I’m embarrassed to wear his jersey. He’s a massive, whiney bitch now that sits out and doesn’t show up anymore if everything isn’t catered to him. His interviews and on-field attitude are so non-chalant.

McKennie and maybe Adams have some dog in them. Balo fought. But this team is a bunch of overpaid babies, starting with “Captain America”. I’m honestly ready to move on from his prima donna act.

Gio Reyna needs to figure out how to be fit and last more than 30 minutes. He brought a spark (that Puli used to bring). And gimme Seb Berhalter’s attitude - at least that guy steps on the field ready to battle anyone, even if he’s not the most skilled.

Sadly, I’m ready for new blood. Massively disappointed in this run.

Diego Luna would've run over 6 guys to get in the way of that first goal.

So I guess an NBA career is out of the question?

Not entirely certain about this class, seems like most all of the QBs have a home somewhere else. He tried to get the Nebraska commit, but was rebuffed. Not certain if it's true, but have read that Day still wants Brady in this class. Kinda think the talk they had on Brady's visit kinda settled the waters between them. Guess Brady has to decide if he wants to be Captain of a destroyer, or be First Mate on a super carrier. (No offense intended to our Navy personnel on destroyers). Personally, am hoping Lincoln Keinholtz has an outstanding year at Louisville. Go Bucks

Since this is the Recruiting forum, would certainly like to have DGG signed up, would be an awesome Buckeye, but at the same time, it appears (to me at least) that the RB room isn't too shabby now anyway. There is a 1,000 yard rusher as a freshman, another two or three guys anxious for their turns at the position, and all are capable. Losing DGG might certainly hurt, but when the band aid is ripped off, the O would survive pretty well, methinks. Would not surprise me that the OLine will enable more holes/rushing yards this year than last, and wouldn't surprise me if tOSU totaled more than 2,000 yard on the ground this year. And as someone above so accurately pointed out, there's always the portal for an experienced RB after this season. And of course, the downside is that if DGG dons scarlet and gray, some of these up-and-comers will run for the portal. Seems to me to be a good position to be in. Go Bucks!

Coach Mic has to salivating. Kid is pretty dang strong already but with that frame, he can throw on another 30-40 pounds of good weight and be a man child on our DL.

This is why I haven't posted his uncle's comments, or any of the social media discord. DGG hasn't said anything, but OSU (many)fans are wired to think negatively

You mean Genron wasn't a reliable source? (I'll age myself there)

Yup which is why I posted the kids tweet instead.
