Caleb Downs?

Agreed. I think there is a possibility OSU's priorities have changed. I think I mentioned that before. My question is if they remain unchanged. Once we have a better idea of the staff's targets, we'll get a better feel for the effort level and ability to recruit. If we truly want the Silver...

Thanks. Interesting probably a great hire for Fickell. I don't know, is it likely Fickell really runs the defense at UC?

Nah just someone who enjoys pointing and laughing. Thanks!

Ah you didn't look, you just bash others. The answer is none. Checked your record. Very consistent and not in a good way.

Is Coombs going to UC? In what capacity?

I feel bad for the guy. He seems to be a loyal guy and a good recruiter. Maybe he was just a victim of the poor defensive scheme the last two years. I'm sure he'll be in demand.

It's important to build those relationships. He may also be asking for information about players the coach is familiar with at other high schools. He may value Coach Hayes's opinions.

I post when I have something to say that I think adds to the discussion. Take a look at how many of my posts before this set of hires were critical. Look up how many times in 16 years I've even had an opinion on a coaching hire and posted it.

Yes sorry I meant Walton. If these guys have the personality to connect with HS coaches, mom and dad and the recruits themselves, all it will take is the desire and commitment to be a great recruiter. Day has it, so does Hartline, Coombs and Washington too and Urban did as well. If Knowles...

Sorry- brain fart - I meant Tim Walton and thought of Tim Salem. Oops.

I'm of the impression that most of the offensive staff are good recruiters. Obviously Hartline is elite. On defense: Johnson is a damn good recruiter Edit: Walton? (not Salem) Knowles? Eliano? Thanks for catching that.

The guy may be a great coach. I hope he will prove to be a good recruiter. If not, is Larry Johnson going to recruit the entire defense?

It's not about one recruit. It's one of several signs that Knowles just doesn't work at recruiting.

When looking at his record, it looks questionable. His top 5 recruits of all time are one 4* and four 3*s. His 247 recruiting ranking is #112. https://247sports.com/Coach/Perry-Eliano-1893/ There is no question when he's recruiting for OSU, he'll get in more doors and with players that are in...
