I think we will hold awhile……lose him awhile……then be a 50/50 at the end. I’ve seen worse.

I think if he's a guy who's purely gonna go to the highest bidder then we likely aren't holding on

Have to hope he at least somewhat cares about what the program is selling.

Al Davis called double dibs

I don’t like the “who will fight for me” line. It should be a mutual relationship, not a struggle to keep you.

This is how it is now. Recruits, especially elite ones hold all the leverage and they know it.

Yea that comment definitely reads like we are getting used to get Miami and A&M who have shown they are more willing to write bigger checks to recruits to keep upping their offers.

But that other guy ran a 4.2 who cares if he doesn't know what an angle is is allergic to tackling and has hands of stone and stiff hips also he has a 40 inch vert

Xavier Watts is so good. Why NFL teams passed on him is baffling (Round 3).

Just watch the game film from Notre Dame. If I was an NFL GM, I would simply draft good football players. It’s not that hard.

Yep this one will keep going

They had every reason in the world to lose this game so naturally they smack around the Sens.

Similar. Near 60 F with windows down to feels like 8 F with the wind chill and windows stuck.

Recruiting predictions are pretty worthless now guys flip at the last second more than ever now along with guys changing commitments 2 or 3 times before the end as well. These "insiders" are clinging to relevancy.

NIL has made them pretty much worthless.

My one and only comment in this thread. (Completely uninformed, maybe ESPN will hire me).

We have the personnel on D to stop their run game. Pletcher had a good game after wearing down A&M. But if the D can slow/stop it, then Beck becomes the main weapon on O to distribute. Beck needs to be quick and precise, like he's trying to get with another OF girl. It won't happen, but I would love to see Caleb on Toney all game. He's the main weapon. They have a few other guys in the passing game to help. But, meh.

Their D is what could keep them in the game. Great DL play. They put a lot of pressure on the OL and disrupt shit. No clue on their LB's. The DB's have been solid and can cause turnovers. OSU OL play will determine the outcome more than anything. If Julian has time, game over.

Special teams hopefully doesn't need to play a role. Our punter doesn't outkick the coverage and needs to stop Toney if he gets a crack. FG's, F*#$ me. It's indoors, but still.

OSU 31 - Miami, FL 13

Miami man…FAFO
