not BB36, but those proclaimed target numbers are notoriously unreliable. Just last year, we heard how we were taking 4 OL but would take 5 only if the fifth guy is a bluechipper like Damien Prince. Things didn't turn out that way.

Urban has a pretty high battling average for kids who visits in the spring + summer + OV in the fall/winter + home visit to seal the deal. On that basis, Burrell is one to watch closely.

+1 Could be wrong, but I believe this is the first Ohio QB that Urban's offered, not withstanding the "offer" to the kid that ended up at UNC and Zaire, who was offered by Tressel.

The relative recruitment of McLean and Fulwood presents a study in contrast. Both prospects expressed heavy interest and in tOSU in general and LJ SR. in particular. One got offered within a week of LJ taking over and the other one had to wait months before the offer came through. One set up and...

In before the spring game.

Surprised that this kid doesn't have more big time offers.

If you guys are hoping that every marginal OOS player with an "offer" hoops on board, you just don't understand the recruiting game. There are a core group of guys that the coaches have identified that you hear about the most, and then there are the satellite, plan B types. No offense to...

Exactly. This the cream of the crop for Ohio in any year. I know we are in on some big time OOS LBers but if you don't take a kid like this, might as well tear down that fence around Ohio. PS: the other thing that makes Connor an interesting prospect is that he could be an excellent HB in...

:hoke:

Welcome to the family Mr. Edwards! :groove:

You would think ANY healthy bodies at the end of last season, let alone a relatively healthy up and comer like Mitchell would at least see the field. But no. We sit our five star prototypical MLB and play our 2nd team WLB who's injured. Love Cam Williams, and when he's healthy, he could...

I don't know the family situation so I can't answer that for you, but these is a lot of murmur going around that Mike wasn't happy at Columbus. And if there's one thing that makes a kid unhappy, it's being 15 hours away from home and sitting on the bench behind an injured 2nd team WLB.

Love my buckeyes, love the coaches, but there no excuse here....this is the most f****ing stupid mistake a coach can make. We lost an AA safety Jeremy Cash b/c we blew his RS year with one play on special teams, and we lose another one b/c we chose to sit the kid whom by all accounts was really...

I guess I was counting Rashad Frazier as a scholarship player, but don't know if that's a year by year deal. You are right, without Frazier, we are over by 2.

HUDL First thing that jumps out is the kid's instincts for the position. Already better at getting proper depth on drops than some of our 2 or 3 years guys on the roster. If Conner was in this year's class, I'd venture to say that he'd be the best LB in this class among Berger, Booker and Fern...

Talk all you want about rankings, the kid was WANTED by the best programs in the B1G. Not to mention LJ Sr. knows a thing or two about linemen...

Keeping Jones and signing Slade makes this another hellacious class. I'd like to have McDowell or another line, but fact of the matter is we are already 3 over the 82 room as is, which means we'll need to trim three players before fall camp. Urban mentioned that there may be fifth year players...

Don't doubt Boren at all. Just think it's a little different playing IU or PSU's second team vs. first team MSU defenses.

My guess: Decker-Farris-Boren-Elfein-Lisle For those who forgot who Farris is, he was battling Decker for the RT spot in the spring and took the most reps at tackle outside of Mewhort and Decker, so I would expect him to be in the fold somewhere. Biggest questions are RT and whether Boren has...

They wanted Bunting, and was in early, but the kid swung to UM. Point is that OSU was making runs at those first batch of guys while MG was still a relative unknown in the "OOS Prospects to Watch" thread. No doubt the kid can play, but I'm not going to be terribly upset if he sticks with PSU and...
