Uh, as far as we know the staff hasn't written Junior off...do not be surprised to see an offer down the road.

I'm not saying they have or will write him off.

They haven't offered yet and more than just a few fans seem to be asking "What's the hold up?" My point was that it's interesting that Buckeye fans are willing to go out on just about any limb with this coaching staff, just not if it involves betting against Antoine Winfield.

You made seem everyone was questioning the staff's judgment...I don't think they are. As for why there's no offer, I think it's more the staff taking it's time rather than them not having him higher than some other prospects. Meyer appreciates the legacy connection, especially with someone the caliber of Winfield Sr.

I do trust the coaches. For me, at least, saying/pleading/hoping they offer him sooner rather than later is more out of loyalty to what his father was/is and to add what appears to be a young man with his head screwed on straight. There was no judgement on the coaching staff either implied or otherwise.

This.

His pops was one of the great Buckeyes of all time IMO. We can pay homage to the young man's dad by being a bit unreasonable in our expectations ...

Chris Spielman just said Antoine Winfield was best defensive player ever at @OhioStAthletics and best tackler he ever saw play anywhere

It's like Secretariat being out for stud.. and his DNA is worth gold.. just to have a piece of it

H didn't "just" say that. He said it during a game he called during last season as well when discussing Bosa.

He may have "just" said it, as in the context of it being within a few seconds of Catalana making the tweet, but yeah, you're right, it's not the first time Spielman has said publicly that he felt Winfield was the best defensive player ever at Ohio State...
