Depends on who you ask...

Boren was 50/50 also...

I personally never truly bought into the Boren talk...I couldn't see him going anywhere but where daddy went. That is a good comparison as far as the father-son relation to the schools though. I haven't heard much about Zordich being 50/50, except for an occasional PSU fan. I am confident we get Zordich...not a lock, but I would say 75/25 to OSU.

As soon as Zordich finds out that he may be cleaning stadiums on Sundays, which were made for rest, BTW, maybe it will clear his head a little bit about what makes the most sense. Are you kidding me? Sweet, JoePa puts the hammer down....the end result may be less than desirable, no?

I've always thought Zordich's biggest thing was comfort level... Haven't heard him mention depth chart, following his dad, etc... He seems to want to play somewhere where he fits in with the other players and coaches... Therefore, i think OSU is gonna win out... He's know a lot of the recruits and is very comfortable with the coaches.. Not to mention, he is an Ohio kid, with a chance to play at his home school

I agree with RB about Boren, tOSU offer was his fall-back which also pushed scUM to offer him, once they offered--he got what he wanted.

On Zordich, I can't believe JoPa will be a huge factor. Chances are increasing JoPa would not be the coach Mike's full career.....Tres on the other hand.........

Justin received his UM offer in February and committed in May...check out his BP Thread to see exactly how torn the kid was through the process.

That is quite a bit of time for a kid who supposedly absolutely knew where he wanted to go...tOSU was much more than a "fall-back" offer.

I dunno, in the "recruiting-world time frame" a couple months is quick enough but shows some amount of respect to tOsu for offering first. I would say at least waiting into the fall season is "truly being torn".....a lot of what these kids say in public is a facade...just my take.

back to Zordich....

I don't believe his source is what was said in public, I've heard the same talk from the UM insiders.

i believe connor smith got his osu offer in february, knew where he wanted to go, then waited until august to commit. it's not a rare event for something like that to happen.

Never said it was...just saying the dismissal of Boren's consideration was misguided.

Also, Connor Smith was a part of the supposed Colerain pipeline at the time...there was some tension there also.

Michael Zordich will definitely make someone very happy very soon. I'd love to wrap up another kid of his caliber at this early stage of the game. Thknk about it, how many players will we still be recruiting hard come Jan/Feb? Maybe 5? 6? I'd love to relax a bit this year. :)
