I am of the opinion that if the best player at any given position in the country wants to be a Buckeye you tend to not nitpick about whether he's a need or not. Again, just my opinion.

Idk if we're nitpicking his need, as much as stating that our o line is losing most of our starters, and we need to continue to build depth on the d line. It would be great to get an elite TE, but our QB can't get a skill position player the ball from his back, and that's where the importance of o linemen comes in. As much as I'd like to get gesicki, I'd much rather have prince, Mavety, bookser, and even ragnow. O line is a necessity and TE is a luxury at this point, IMHO.

Numbers are not an issue right now. We will get our 1-2 OL we want and a DL, plus our safety types and still have room for Gesicki. Mike is a great player who I think has an OFFER...I want him. If not, it won't hurt as much as other positions would (see OL and LB).

Then I asked: “Is it like 53% PSU, 47% OSU approximately?” and he replied, “Not at all... I don't have a percentage at all.” I then asked him if he was leaning PSU and he replied “No.”

There it is in plain English - not leaning toward PSU. I guess now it all depends on the meaning of the word "lean", which, if Presidents can quibble about the meaning of the word "is", then recruits can interpret "lean" with subtlety. If one is standing up and down jumping on a trampoline with a PSU emblem while wearing a PSU helmet and Paterno tshirt, is that something besides "leaning" to PSU? It is maddening and futile to try to parse every breath and nuance from a recruit, but to me, this sounds like tOSU. And as John Cooper would say "write that down and underline it".

That interview was cringe-worthy. We'll find out soon enough where he's going, you don't need to ask him which way he's leaning 8 times.

He's the only one refuting it at this point. Everyone else is going with the fact he's deciding at 7:00 pm tonight. I'd link all of them saying it but I'm on my phone.

@Birm: The rumors are Mike Gesicki will announce his college choice in about ten minutes. #Buckeyes or #PennState for the nation's top TE.

@BWISnyder: FYI, I was told around 8 for Gesicki's commitment. I saw 7 PM too, but I was told 8, so it may be a little bit.
