2009 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

[MUBuck]

mendnesa, you obviously haven't been reading any of the BPRT's comments about Hall...every one of us is confident he will be a Buckeye. Stop worrying about what he says to the media...

Back to Edwards...

... but it's ok for you to assume???

two players at different ends of the spectrum, re: OSU.

How are these two @ opposite ends of the spectrum? Hall announces scum as a leader after his visit and everything we've heard in the last couple of weeks has sounded pretty positive in oregon's favor for Boyd.


We don't play Tennessee until a decade after he enrolls.

You're assuming I'm talking about Tennessee. Doesn't he still have a visit scheduled to scum? I do believe we play them every year. Has he even been to Rocky Top yet? I was speaking of recruits in general that would like to become Buckeyes and never get that chance b/c of various reasons (grades, test scores, never get offered, ect...) and sometimes end up @ other Big 10 schools that OSU does play every year. You assumed I was being specific.


You're assuming he has to change his heart. I wouldn't make that bet.

Obviously, regardless of what he is telling the media, he is having some strong thoughts about scum or he wouldn't be asking people for advice on how to deal with being an Ohio kid and considering going to the school up north.

I was simply asking what you guys thought about his chances of getting a schollie since the "vibes" don't seem to be good @ the moment. I didn't mention all the guys they were after, just a few of the ones that don't sound so promising @this time. With their possible early enrollments, it looks like they had a few extra spots. Didn't know my post was going to get picked apart sentence by sentence.

If the sentences wouldn't have all been incorrect I doubt it would have been.....

I'm not assuming, nor were Michigan insiders about Campbell.

Boyd is telling folks osu is right there with Oregon, when those not going by recruiting interviews know better. Same with hall "favoring Michigan". Most UM fans aren't even buying that one. If you don't believe me or the bprt, wouldn't you think the UM insiders would be calling hall to them if that quote was completely accurate?

As for the asking others about leaving the state, no one asks more leading questions than gbw, nor works harder to not include anything about osu unless its negative.

You expressed concern over playing a scorned Edwards. Until UM catches up to his other suitors, it's not worth worrying about. With or without Edwards, rr is going to have a lot of players not offered by osu.

you asked about a handful of names, and I responded with recruits that would likely have more of an impact for the db they're looking to take (with Bradley's departure from this class)

With their possible early enrollments, it looks like they had a few extra spots.

that's not a new development, though.

would you have preferred a basic 'don't worry about it?'

 

[mendensa]

Elitist pr ick...

Amen to that.


It happens every year about this time. You have curious Buckeyes fans out there with legitimate questions/opinions about some of the uncommitted recruits still remaining and when things turn sour for the Buckeye Nation and guys start considering other schools, people start getting snippy. My opinion is garbage and since there are people "in the know" on BP, their word is gold. You have your opinions, we have our own sometimes, and respect the insiteful info that is brought to this site. So what makes your opinion any better than anyone elses that you don't agree with that you can just s**t on everyone elses opinion?

I remember following the Cordale Scott recruiting saga last year when despite the illini rumors, people had it etched in stone already that he was a lock to become a Buckeye. And if you stated or had an opinion otherwise you were an idiot.

Lighten the belt buckle a little fellas and enjoy the fact that other people enjoy Buckeye football as much as you do. I'm not worried about what Hall says to the media, I'm just enjoying the process just like everyone else on here.

 

[mendensa]

I didn't express any concern about Edwards being scorned by OSU, only that I hate to see OSU miss out on an OSU-caliber recruit that wants to be a Buckeye but ends up somewhere else and is successful against OSU in a few years down the line. (Sutton - NW / Brewster -SC for example) :not sure if Brewster even wanted to come to OSU b/c I didn't follow recruiting back then but those are the type of situations I'm talking about.

going back a bit

You're assuming I'm talking about Tennessee.

Tennessee is his leader. Until that changes, I think it's a pretty safe "assumption" here.

I was speaking of recruits in general that would like to become Buckeyes and never get that chance b/c of various reasons (grades, test scores, never get offered, ect...) and sometimes end up @ other Big 10 schools that OSU does play every year. You assumed I was being specific.

So it was just a coincidence that you brought it up in Edwards' thread immediately after asking does Edwards get his offer? Come on.

I remember following the Cordale Scott recruiting saga last year when despite the illini rumors, people had it etched in stone already that he was a lock to become a Buckeye. And if you stated or had an opinion otherwise you were an idiot.

Not everyone.

Would you rather have a wishy washy answer, well this could happen, or it could not...?

I'm not worried about what Hall says to the media

You're bracing yourself for potentially bad news. Doesn't sound like you're ignoring what he says to the media...

My opinion is garbage and since there are people "in the know" on BP, their word is gold. You have your opinions, we have our own sometimes, and respect the insiteful info that is brought to this site. So what makes your opinion any better than anyone elses that you don't agree with that you can just s**t on everyone elses opinion?

So I take it this goes for the BPRT too? Or do you only take issue with my comments on Hall?

 

[mendensa]

I'm not singl ing out one specific person, it was a generalized statement. I respect the opinions of all the insiders and that is why I continue to come here for a lot of my information. I don't expect a wishy-washy response but you get to the point where you don't want to post anything or have an opinion on this site b/c it gets blasted or discected. I'd love for Hall to end up @ OSU. But I'm not going to lose sleep over it if he doesn't. I don't think you can ignore his strong interest and comments on UM despite everyone's feeling that he'll end up @ OSU either.

Made in Edwards' thread in a discussion about whether this kid - who is/was dying to be a buckeye - would get his offer.

It doesn't have to be limited to only Edwards to be a pretty transparent inclusion of him.

I don't expect a wishy-washy response but you get to the point where you don't want to post anything or have an opinion on this site b/c it gets blasted or discected.

You mean like this?
Looks like you had a point about this time of year.

These don't change the tone of the posts, btw.

 

[mendensa]

as for Edwards; my comments really had nothing to do with him being scorned by OSU. I just feel he is worthy of a schollie, esp. with all the shortcomings with these guys some Buckeye fans had high hopes of landing a few weeks ago (Boyd, Adams, Brown, Hosley, ect...). I know you mentioned other DB's that it more likely had an effect on but I wasn't looking @ DB's specificially, (just thought it would be good to land one more in this class) more of the total number of spots available and how it may open up the door for a few other recruits and if you thought Edwards would be one of the beneficiaries. Thanks for your opinion.

I think you'll find many that will agree with you...

Georgia native Myles is here this weekend... that will be one heck of a sales performance if this artic freeze does not dampen his visit. Frankie won't be here until next weekend.

Hall may be the only one left :p

It's Brewer by the way. Ryan to be specific. We got Brewster. He will be anchoring the O-line for the next 3 years

 

[mendensa]

That post about Brandon Harris explains just what I'm talking about. I expressed my opinion that I felt that OSU had a shot @ landing Brandon and I got blasted. Thats when someone else changed the name of the thread, put it in my name and it got really confusing for myself as well as everyone else who was reading. I got heated in subsequent posts due to the disrespect and that's when I got my slap on the wrist. I apologized for my remarks and I think I actually sent the BP staff a nice thank you after that for their summation of the 2008 recruiting class.

Sorry, brain fart. Names so much a like I just typed it too fast without thinking. But see, you knew who I meant. You think we can sign another _____ Hall or Maurice _____ in our next class?

Maurice Hall? Yeah, we had him too. All time OSU leader in career kickoff return yardage.

There are always gonna be good players that OSU misses out on every year due to the quantity of Division 1 caliber athletes that reside in the Buckeye state. It seems like Mike Edwards might fall into this catagory. Now, he still could get an offer, but as of right now, it appears that the coaches have some other guys rated a little higher on their board.
