Wait, so they get another ping pong ball on offense and an undersized linebacker? DickRod does realize he's recruiting a Big-Ten defense, right? :lol:

Funny you should mention undersized linebackers.

Ohio State's LB corps

Dorian Bell is 6'0", 225 pounds.
Storm Klein is 6'2", 220 pounds
Jordan Whiting is 6'0", 230 pounds
Average weight: 225 pounds

Michigan's LB corps

Jordan Barnes is 6'0", 225 pounds
Brandin Hawthorne is 6'0, 200 pounds
and assume for a second that Isaiah Bell moves down to linebacker
Isaiah Bell is 6'0", 210 pounds
Average weight: 212 pounds

Yeah, OSU's commits are absolute monsters and Michigan's are tiny, right? Especially since they have another year before they get to college.

That's a pretty big difference there Sniper, so not sure what you're going for. Also, Hawthorne is listed at 197 on scout and 181 on Rivals (I'm sure it's somewhere in between).

Don't even Fucking try to compare Jordan Whiting to any LB'er you have recruited in the last 2 recruiting season. That kid is a monster. He deadlifted 560+ LBS as a junior in H.S!!! He should be a top 100 player on every bodies list and I would love to see the other 12-13 MLB'ers that they have listed above him. A kid with his size, speed, and raw power is rare.

He's up to 197 or so, call it 200 to round up. 13 pounds isn't that big of a difference.

I think the obvious difference is how soon your newest crop will be called upon to win games.

Did anyone say your LB recruits are "tiny"? No. They are undersized, at least compared to our current LB commits. While Dorian Bell and Jordan Barnes are identical in size, Jordan Whiting is 20 pounds heavier than Isaiah Bell, and Storm Klein is also 20 pounds heavier than Brandin Hawthorne (and 2 inches taller).

Not to mention that neither Bell nor Whiting nor Klein will play simply because they live on campus. Ohio State is still in the business of making players earn jobs, as opposed to recruiting to find the fastest 22 kids this side of the 'ol miss to play the season opener.

I throw spaghetti against the wall to see if it is actually cooked all the way through, but DR is throwing something entirely different in Ann Arbor (is a whore) these days....
