'13 CO OT Dan Skipper (Tennessee decommit; Arkansas Verbal)

[MONTbigBuck]

Boy, I hope he packed some warm clothes. Sunday and Monday are going to be brutal. We need at least one of Skipper/Hunt to help finish off this class.

The entire West is just now warming up from some cold Canadian air that moved in the end of last week. This guy is from CO. I don't think any central Ohio weather will scare him off.

Dan said Arkansas was amazing and he was very impressed with the staff. He is now on his tOSU visit.

For OL recruit Dan Skipper, all 6-10 of him, it's looking like two-team race between OSU and Arkansas. Urb v Bielema? Advantage: #Buckeyes.

2013 OL Dan Skipper had a very good visit to #OhioState. Hung out with Mewhort, Decker, O'Connor, and others.

Wait. Skipper is committed to TN (as per the thread title)! It sounds like Bielema is doing something illegal.

Could we call them the new Brothers of Destruction (if you follow the WWF)?

11W - Catching Up with Dan Skipper: Official Visit

1/23

Ohio State is returning four starters along the offensive line for the 2013 football season. However, all four, Jack Mewhort, Corey Linsley, Andrew Norwell, and Marcus Hall, are set to graduate after next year, leaving the Buckeyes with many holes to fill along the unit.

The Bucks have already scored commitments from two 2013 offensive line prospects in Centerville's (OH) OT Evan Lisle and Indianapolis (IN) Lawrence Central's OG Timothy Gardner.

Urban Meyer and his staff would love to add a third name to that group and one of the top remaining offensive line targets in the class is Arvada (CO) Ralston Valley Senior OT Dan Skipper.

The massive 6-10/290 lineman and current Tennessee commit received an offer from Meyer near the end of December. Despite his commitment to the Vols, Skipper started looking at other schools after Derek Dooley was fired from Rocky Top.

One of those schools was Ohio State, and Skipper arrived in Columbus this past Saturday for his OSU official visit. His stay extended through Monday of the holiday weekend and the trip went as well as could possibly be planned by the staff.

Arkansas picked up a much-needed offensive line commitment Monday when Arvada (Colo.) Ralston Valley offensive tackle Dan Skipper flipped his commitment from Tennessee to Arkansas.

Wow. And.....back to the drawing board.

 

[Buckeye Nut]

Not too surprised here other than he pulled the trigger this soon. Read Arkansas was in the driver's seat over the weekend.

 

[southcampus]

Arkansas was the favorite, due to his relationship with that O-Line coach. Not a big shock. Bummer for us though.

If we run out of o-line players, we can always add more receivers and slot receivers to the formation ...
