DT Eddrick Houston (National Champion)

It's cool if we spend NIL money on active players, but there won't be any to spend on with the way DL recruiting is trending. Bordering on a train wreck at this point. Day, get your house in order

Got a bad feeling with this one…visited Clemson yesterday and ‘Bama today. Was told by a huge Clemson fan with inside connections that Clemson’s new Defensive coach made a big impression on him.

 

[Diego-Bucks]

Oof. It would be absolutely brutal to lose Houston on top of already losing Scott and not getting in on Williams.

You all need to relax.

Nah. Losing all your top DL prospects isn't something to brush off

Relax. As if freaking out in a recruiting forum on an internet website is gonna to do ANYTHING about ANYTHING. Relax. Let the process play out.

A southern kid paying his own way for visits to two southern powers a week before NSD is less than ideal.

He may just be making sure he doesn't have regrets. With that said, Day and LJ would be wise to make their way to GA soon.

I would rather the kid make the right decision for himself.

We're just idiots on a fan forum. Its his future, not ours.

won't have the chance before the early signing period starts up.... I believe there's a dead period after tonight and I dont know the status of Day's in home visit.

Well s#+t! Lol!

They better have their NIL crap in order because they have to hit the portal hard the next 3 years.

Especially with literally no one else coming in and having struck out last year at DE.

We lose this kid? We better do everything we can to get kids to return.

Because let’s be real besides JTT none of last years starters are first day players right now. If we lose our entire starting four and then compound it with basically no one on the edges for 2 years? That’s how a program starts to slip.

Fastest way to slip is to have LOS’ that just aren’t good enough. We saw that this year on the OL and damn now we could be in dire straights on the DL too.

So yeah I think the nervousness here is warranted. IMO, if we lose Houston we should think about talking to LJ about retirement. Not because he’s not good at what he does but because I think clearly teams are having success playing the retirement angle.

Slightly off topic, but the 5 star skill is nice and all but dang we need to replenish the ranks up front on both sides.

I am wondering if this is happening, because LJ is retiring, and they told Houston as much.

This is going to happen every year until LJ SR actually does really retire. He’s grown stagnant as a coach development has been pretty poor the past few years. It’s time to move on.

This is not happening to Tim Walton. OSU needs to give LJ a position with the team, if he wants it, and hire a younger coach. I love LJ and he is a Goat, but when you are in your 70's the game is apt to change.
