Unless Potter reclassified - which is not very likely at this point - then any other scenario would mean someone would absolutely have to move on to add 2 more by 16-17. But there are really only 2 guys that wouldn't "hurt" the core returning group if they left now. What if the one that moves...

This is the classy and PROPER way to do it, IMO. If you aren't 100% sure and want to keep taking visits and have an open mind. Then de-commit publicly and let the world know where you stand honestly and above board. I am sick of all the kids that claim they are 100% committed but keep taking...

From what little I know of it, it sounds like he would have to take some summer classes to be able to have enough core credits to qualify for admittance in the Fall. He has a good ACT score but not enough core credits at present. Why it may be up in the air is that he may need both credits...

If you are a DB or WR or ATH in OH this particular YEAR, you better be a national TOP150 talent like Harris and Riep are - or you will not be getting an OFFER from tOSU this particular year. With so many T50 DBs and WRs from out-of-state leaning our way, it just isn't in the cards. I doubt any...

This move/development may indicate 1 or more current-roster young OL are projected to move on/xfer-out. I love adding a JUCO when you lose so many starters. Adds someone with real post-h.s. experience that should be in the mix early. Would love to land JUCO King for DT as well - he sounds...

I do think they need to add at least 1 G before looking at anymore frontcourt players. Tate is starting at 2G but is not the quickest G in the league. Ideally you'd want him at 3 more than 2 but with McL and KBD the only way to start all 3 is to put Tate at 2. Grandstaff was your 4th true G...

I don't know why the 30 second clock would hurt this team more than others. I disagree as I think the bigs are more mobile than Amir/TMcD were and the 8-man rotation will allow a bit more running and less half-court play. Our Fs all seem much improved and as the core of the team that is a...

I think Thad WILL take a guard in this class. Simmons would be at the top of his wishlist, and some say UK is slipping which puts tOSU in a much better position. I imagine they feel that at least one player that is projected to return for 16-17 will not. May well be the 3rd string C, whomever...

Correct Litl. If it goes beyond this weekend or so then he may schedule his officials for ORE and WIS - since he hasn't taken them yet. Most think because he is close to BOTH PARENTS that he is unlikely to go to school so far away that they couldn't attend his games. So ORE is a stretch...

Soso was never offered or recruited by TM. Verbalcommits ( a hoops site ) lists FB recruits for some schools erroneously and confuses folks with it. I personally had them take him down ONCE but he showed up again there. This problem has been there for two years now. They list 4-5 star FB...

He just officially visited WV last weekend and is hosting all 5 finalists for visits this week at his school - reportedly. I think TM is at his school today or tomorrow. Then he is officially visiting tOSU this coming weekend. Some think he might end the suspense after this weekend. We'll see!

Not sure he should be written off just yet. For one thing Giddens keeps talking about playing 4 here - as do about all kids 6'8-6'11 these days ( want to play 4 instead of 5 ). TM seems to still be active with inside players in the 2015 class. Recent articles seem to have tOSU looking at...

I wonder if we'll se a mini run on commits here now after Grandstaff. I believe they will only take one more F in the class so Esa would be wise to pounce on the offer sooner rather than later if he really wants to join this class. I think the C spot may take a while to get resolved, but the...

I really don't think taking TT as a xfer will keep any of the 2015 C's from committing. He's likely to sit out this season and who knows how good he'll be come 15-16? I think we'll be able to sign a Giddens, Moore, E.Thomas to compete with him for the starting C spot.

IMO, we need a 2G in the 2015 class pretty badly. That is why Kennard was a big loss as he fit a needy spot. Russell will likely start at 2G this coming season, 14-15, but once Scott has graduated he wants to take over at PG and display his point skills to NBA scouts. So I think he'll mostly...

Bell is also a C. Just because some site says he is a 4 doesn't make it so. He is a 5 all-the-way in skillset and talents! You will see Lee ( 6'9 220 ) and Amir ( 6'11 245 ) starting on the front line this season. Lee can play the 4 and 5 and TM has reportedly told him he'll start at 4 in...

Unless his h.s. starts classes in July, it will have to be an unofficial visit he makes to LVL. I hope we can get an official in ( on a FB Sat ) before he decides!

I wonder how close he is to an offer from Thad? So far Matta has only offered Bragg and Kennard of the ohio sophomore class. Thad might be looking at Mike Mitchell's brother for the small forward spot in this class instead. Wonder if he'd sign all 3 of Bragg, Mitchell and Ahmad?

Yes, and they cannot take officials before their SR year of high school starts, so that means it isn't allowed before that Fall. And since most coaches like the kid to come in Friday night and stay thru Sunday ( officials can be 48 hours ) it can be limiting because many play their h.s. games...

You'd think one of these big guys would see how empty our frontcourt will be and will jump at the chance. If not GS then some other late bloomer or maybe a tranfer. TM was reportedly sniffing around and recruiting a bunch of transfer 4s last Spring. Maybe he'll bag one this Spring instead.
