new head coaches at Miami and now possibly Florida can't hurt Ohio State's chances here

That's what I said about Seantrel Henderson. I know head coaches play a big role in recruiting and why kids choose a school but I've seen a lot of kids come out and choose a school rather than a program/coach.

I think if he doesnt pick us now, he was just playing with us and never serious about us.

i dont think hes playing us. i just think people around him would like him to stay closer to home.

I wouldn't read that much into it. Jabari seems genuinely interested in Ohio State. The problem is the justification for leaving home for him, but we have a good shot.

So untrue...

I don't think Urban retires really changes anything. Florida is still Florida, and will continue to be unless they completely screw the pooch with their next hire.

Ultimately, like has been the case since the beginning, it will come down to whether Jabari is willing to leave his family for Columbus, OH.

Loyal to the coach? Or to the school? Got to help our chances anyway.

"Loyality" has nothing to do with it...it's where he feels is the best place and situation for him.

We get either Gorman or Shazier I'll be ecstatic!

If the coaches are a big part of his decision (whit he has said)..then you have to feel ohio state is in great shape with him.

Something to take into consideration...if he was worried about Urban being there all four years, that problem has just been solved. So if he likes the new head coach and his position coach is retained, that could be a plus for Florida, knowing that Urban's successor will likely be there all four years that Jabari is...plus there's always a wave of excitement that comes with a new coach and good recruiters know how to capitalize upon that.

Free Rivals - Will others benefit from Meyer's departure?

The timing of his resignation isn't good, as Florida was set to host its biggest recruiting weekend of the year. It is assumed that the scheduled officials of Delvon Simmons, Elkino Watson, Izauea Lanier, Jabari Gorman and Lamar Dawson set for this weekend will all be canceled. Florida is also likely out for an official visit for five-star linebacker Tony Steward, who was expected to take an official visit to Gainesville sometime this month. Current commitments Waisome, Leonard, Hounshell, Clay Burton, Valdez Showers, Ryan Shazier and Kyle Christy are also scheduled to take official visits this weekend and it is unclear if any of them will be on campus.
