Seemed the staff moved on a month ago. Either got a good feeling from Mertz or saw something they didn’t like in Gunnell. Hope the former. For all we know the laid back atmosphere mentioned above might have been it. Best of luck to grant.
This is all you need to know about why the staff said "pass", on Gunnell. Laid back doesn't fit Urban Meyers criteria, not only for a QB but for any member of his team (or staff).Gunnell visited Ohio State twice, but those aforementioned sources indicated a hesitancy on the part of both the signal caller and the Buckeyes’ staff. The former seemingly wanted a laid-back atmosphere, while the latter was not entirely sold on Gunnell being the best quarterback in what head coach Urban Meyer and offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Ryan Day have repeatedly called a shallow pool of talent.
