His high school is about 25 minutes from where I live. I'll make sure to get down and watch a few of his games to let you guys know how he looks. The word around the area is that he has a nasty streak and moves well on his feet for a big kid. Was also told that he's a legit 6'6" and 290.

Just comes down to the fact that A) we are loaded at DE so we don't have a heavy need and can be picky with our offers and B) even Fickell and his staff didn't offer this kid when they would've had his tape for close to two years now. That tells me a lot.

That leads me to believe he wasn't offered. I think he'd know if they told him he has an offer.

If we do get up around 20+, I can definitely see Meyer waiting a little longer for Green. He's ridiculously talented and is still learning the position. My favorite back in this class. I hope tou're right about him not waiting.

I don't see him being part of the class if that happens. This class could be as small as 15-16 kids, and I don't think a lot of those spots will be open going into January. Especially with the number of backs we are targeting. Does Urban hold off on taking verbals from other talented kids for...

Agreed. With both. Ohio will always have a lot of talented players so if Kiffin can make inroads and land one or two studs, he's banking for the future.

I'm sure Urban will see to this. Also have to imagine they'll swing by Eddie's grill.

Wad, just asking for gut feeling on Green. Obviously he seems like a guy who will most likely end up a Buckeye, but how long do you think he'll wait before announcing?

Agreed. I think this is a "just in case you ever get interested, we are here" offer.

This. He has awesome acceleration and top end if not elite speed. The cuts he makes and his balance take that 4.4 time and make him very difficult to track down.

I have a friend in the athletic department who said the entire "Tried to commit, but Urban said no" rumor is false. I honestly don't think Neal is out of the picture yet, but I also don't think the rumor was created out of nothing. Probably just a conversation taken out of context.

This. We'll see how it plays out. UFM has obviously proved he knows what he's doing.

Only one better than OSU's, IMO.

Which starters weren't drafted?

So in ten years there are seven guys from schools not necessarily known for high draft picks that had guys go early. Seven. Total. We had six go in the first two days in that time span. Our LBs who play only sixty percent of the snaps for one season (Spitler) have a decent shot at being drafted...

Just making the case that if the NFL is a kid's goal, OSU is the shorter route.

Probably. The better question is, would Homan, Spitler, Rolle, Schlegel, etc.? There's a reason that we were all completely disappointed by our LB play this year. When a kid rises to a starting LB position at OSU, it means something compared to playing LB at 99% of the rest of college...

In the last ten years, the following linebackers were drafted: Ross Homan Brian Rolle Austin Spitler James Laurinaitis Marcus Freeman Larry Grant AJ Hawk Bobby Carpenter Anthony Schlegel Rob Reynolds Cie Grant Matt Willhelm Courtland Bullard Is that not just about all of our starters at LB...

Do you count Marshall as one of the WR's?
