hmm, the article says he's been talking to fulmer a lot, and that people have been telling him osu might get sanctions. not hard to put 2 and 2 together there.

fulmer has always been a greaseball. the culmination of which came when he ratted out bama when UT was facing their own sanctions for the tee martin incident. ut's problems magically went away after he narc'd.

once mccoy is reassured by the coaches that no sanctions are coming, and its reaffirmed by some of our current commits, he will be fine.

My guess is there is probably some truth to that. Hopefully McCoy sees through the BS. It's nice that we have a kid like Robbie Schoenhoft calling and reassuring recruits like Rico. McCoy could come in and start as a redshirt freshman or a true sophomore. Not sure what Tennessee's LB situation looks like.

What current linebacker would lose a spot to him?
From everything I've heard, All three OSU 'backers are coming back next year.

And all three (actually four, wtih D'Andrea) are non-RS seniors, thus 2005 will be their last year. McCoy wouldn't be a RS-frosh or true sophomore until the following season (2006). BuckNutty is correct.

Hopefully he is now our top target at lb along with Felder. If we get those two anyone else would just be icing on the cake.

Hopefully Tressel cleared everything up about all the MoC allegations and how much bullshit they are and he decides to be a buckeye after his visit this weekend.

Nothing earth shattering in this update. He enjoyed his trip to Pitt. Fickell was scheduled to have an in home visit tonight. McCoy is still listing the same 4 or 5 schools. When asked about Ohio State McCoy was quoted as saying “I know they have a bunch of upperclassmen,” McCoy said. “I could go there and sit out a year or redshirt a year, then get to play.”

He is really keeping a tight lip on his recruiting, but the only thing that has been constant throughout is the bucks. I really hope the commitments we have now convince him columbus is the place to be also that pitt will never contend for national titles like at tOSU.

It looks like Rico is posting on Bnuts as the grid. We appear to be the leader pending the Mo C stuff getting put behind us. Here's his post:

sir, Pitt's staff did not ask me to speak. I only spoke because I do like the players and I wanted them to do well,The coaching staff were not there at all ! As for calling me up after the game,well that was the players wanting to thank me for adding my two cents pre-game,they thought I did great.Why does that offend Mr BrightBuck so much ? The staff had nothing to do with any of it and it was the seniors and captains that called for me to come back after the game <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :wink: -->

<!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> sorry I disappointed you .

Re: LB Rico McCoy down to Tennesse and OSU <HR SIZE=1>Good to see you back on here Rico!
you'll have to disregard some comments you read on here. some of us get a little testy when we hear things, especially about recruits that we really, really want to be Buckeyes. not anything personal is meant by it.
just relax and enjoy your visit to Columbus this weekend. i hope you and your family enjoy it. you are most welcome and we </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
