CBF40's look at '12 recruiting (BP's prediction thread)

[GeorgiaBuck2]

I will take the advice and apply it to my future posts.

Anyway, some new guys have just been offered: Ricardo Louis and Deon Bush, per the Bank.

Advice....advise...whatever. :p

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

Yes, exactly.

What happens with Keith Byars II? Obviously he isn't needed at RB, but I think he could be a last minute addition to the class if we still have spots open.

we might have a spot open but its highly doubtful he goes anywhere unless he is going to play RB...kid is too good

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

For his sake, I hope he goes somewhere he can become a future star. Unfortunately, due to the number of scholarships, as well as the situation at running back, it doesn't look like his future will be with the buckeyes.

likes, thinks, hopes, wishes, yearns = irrelevant.

Agreed.

Might as well just close the board then.

For me, the only time a I feel confident a recruit is coming to OSU is when Wade or Grad post "not worried" in his thread.

Great post except the last part.

Aundrey Walker was tagged as "not worried".

Am I the only one who is seriously confused why the staff hasn't offered Bam Bradley yet? I know the DBs they've offered from Florida are good, but are they even better than Bradley who would be a much easier get?

I'm with you...Bradley is legit. Still very early though.

I guess they figure to get in on the long shots early to get a feel for them. I'm sure they let Bradley know that he will get his.

This is what I hope and also what I'm slightly thinking as well. Thinking that if they get in early on 5 or 6 Florida guys that they may be able to snag one and then also have Bam.

After I've had a chance to watch some film and look at offers, my ideal-semi realistic class (21 may be high, but just an estimate):

QB: Shane Dillon
RB: Brionte Dunn
RB: Warren Ball
RB: Rushel Shell
WR: Dwayne Stanford
WR/ATH: Ricardo Louis
TE: Taylor McNamara
OL: Jacoby Boren
OL: Kyle Kalis
OL: Jonah Pirsig
OL: Jordan Diamond
OL: Taylor Decker
DE: Adolphus Washington
DE: Greg McMullen
DE: LaTroy Lewis
DE: SeVon Pittman
DT: Tommy Schutt
LB: Josh Perry
LB/DB: Bam Bradley
DB: Deon Bush
DB/ATH: Cyrus Jones

- I would consider swapping out Pittman for a LB possibly, if that LB is James Ross or especially Derek David. I like Decker at tackle but you take any of Webb, Alexander or Humphries if they come your way, I'm just saying they do not at this point. I also like Corey Smith at WR, I'm not sure where we really stand with Louis.

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

I doubt we take a QB in this class after wrapping up Cardale, but overall your list is a keeper.

I would really like to see Ifeadi Odenigbo offered, kid looks legit. I would venture to say that he is the best pure pass rusher in Ohio, at least from what I've seen on film.

 

[wadc45]

I think they still pursue Dillon...there is no guarantee that Jones ever ends up at OSU, although I know he will try his hardest to fufill that dream.
