Also, you have to add in the fact that USC can't take as many players as usual, so there are a lot of West Coast guys that are filtering to Cal and others that normally wouldn't. Obviously, that doesn't mean as much for Johnson as he's a Texan.

Seems like there is a lot of coaching turnover right now and that's part of it. Also though, an article on ESPN did make a decent point today. Recruits are better informed then ever. They can fact check almost anything a coach tells them. Also, a lot of top recruits seem to realize the business...

Agreed. Perkins is more wide open. Williams has it down to us and PSU and seems to be leaning OSU.

I love how it's not just him committed to OSU, but his family as well.

I'm not too worried honestly. Fick and UFM will tell these kids that a one year ban won't even be remembered in their legacy except that Buckeye nation will love them even more for sticking through it. Also, they'll be using it as motivation: we need to show the world that OSU isn't going...

His list of offers is just ridiculous. The one curious thing is that Texas has not offered yet.

I think Meyer's interest is so he can hedge against losing Dodson/Diamond. Also have to think that this means Meyer isn't very interested in Kozan as these guys have similar size/skill set and Meyer hasn't reached out to Kozan.

Did you mean Jones at QB?

Michigan is jumping early on a few of these Ohio kids. They've gotta be thinking that they have to in order to compete for them now. Also, a number of these kids, like DeVeon, probably won't see an offer from UFM cause he'll be targeting national kids - ala Green and Isaac.

Amen. Wad, have you given a prediction yet on how the class will finish?

It's going to be interesting watching Muschamp and UFM compete for recruits. In this case, I think OSU has the advantage due to proximity, Urban, and the current trendy feel due to the Urban hiring. Also, we have a pass rush need that Florida doesn't suffer from as much. Fingers crossed.

Not saying it's his loss to go somewhere else or that we wouldn't be losing out. Do I think Bollman waited too long? Yes. I think it's obvious that the kid has OSU in his heart at least to a point because he kept stalling waiting for an offer from OSU. But, I think it's interesting when kids who...

Agreed. I think Kozan may have waited too long.

This. I thought Ross was a solid player, definitely not spectacular. I don't think it'd be worth the effort trying to flip him.

Or possible he feels IO is a lost effort at this point? Honestly, if he pulls Spence or Pittman, I won't be hurt if we don't get IO. He's a great player, but everything has this trending away from us. He's just not the normal Centerville recruit.

I agree with you on the possible (in my mind, likely) LEO for Perry. Powell, though, will be a DB. I'd be shocked to see him at LB. And Just wanted to clarify on your needs... do you mean we need 2 total for each of those or 2 more? I think 2 more LB's and I'd lean to 3 more OL. DE isn't as...

This may be my spoiled homerism talking, but I almost don't care if Dunn leaves at this point. I think he's a great back, but he seems to have been looking for a reason to go elsewhere for months. I suspect a quick comparison of the depth charts at tOSU and scUM is the main reason. I just want...

Agreed. They'd be better off playing in the MWC than the Big East.

I always thought Posey had decent speed at best. Never really seen him flat outrun people.

I think Thomas is better, but that's just my opinion. Thomas has better athleticism (he's very fluid) and ability to go deep or make plays after the catch. He also has the wr heritage in his family. He also has a stronger frame which will serve him well getting off of jams and competed for jump...
