Bob Hunter commentary: Rumblings ... Ohio State football, Reds, Evan Turner and more

It was big news when Lakewood St. Edward offensive lineman Kyle Kalis reneged on his commitment to Ohio State and switched to Michigan in July.

Kalis, one of the top recruits in the state, said at the time that "I can't go (to Ohio State) and take penalties for something I never did."

But some OSU insiders believe it's not over. If the NCAA Committee on Infractions doesn't add any sanctions, they think Ohio State might take another shot at Kalis. After the way Michigan went after him, the gloves seem to have come off, and Ohio State coaches could become aggressive in recruiting him again.

A re-commitment to Ohio State would represent a serious change for Kalis, listed as the eighth best offensive tackle in the 2012 class by Scout.com. After he switched to Michigan, Kalis complimented new coach Brady Hoke on his passion and said, "I believe the Michigan-Ohio border is now open."

Imagine how that would sound if he went back to Ohio State.

Personally I doubt he comes back to OSU. Do I think he might de-commit from UM? Yes he might, especially if the Wolverines go 4-8 in an embarrassing fashion this season. Will he come back to OSU though? I personally doubt it.



He's not from Ohio originally but he claimed he always wanted to be a Buckeye and IIRC he committed kind of quickly after OSU offered him.

Then in less than 3 weeks he goes from OSU commit to UM commit. Something doesn't add up to me. I can totally understand de-committing from OSU in June when it looked like Ohio State was going to get slammed with LOIC (though we all would have preferred that he took the Brionte Dunn approach, but whatever). So personally I don't blame him at all for de-committing or at least keeping his options open. But to commit to OSU's biggest rival in less than 3 weeks after claiming you wanted to be a Buckeye your whole life, something just doesn't make sense to me.


I'd like to believe he would come back if he de-commits again and I'd have to believe Fickell would welcome him, but I just don't see him doing it.




I'd settle for him leaving UM though, even if he decides not to come back to OSU!

Saw on the news tonite that Kalis was chosen to play in the "Army All-American" game.

Kid looks like a monster, and sad what happened here. I want my "showbizz" side to come out and say "Break A Leg, Kyle" but I won't.

I wish this kid the best, and to hopefully being just as good on and "off" the field as former St Edwards to Buckeyes OL'man Alex Boone!

"Cheers" Kyle!:beer:

Peace

Let's just say that decision is one he will regret. I hope Mr. Kalis shares the fates of Mike Hart, Chad Henne and Jake Long.

Shawn Crable and Prescott Burgess believe themselves more entitled to this comparison than Hart, Henne, and Long.

Antonio Pittman and the '05 Buckeye O-line agree.
