LB Ryan Shazier (All B1G, All-American, 2017 Pro Bowl)

[Buckeye86]

looks like the next great LEO to me (if he is, in fact, Ohio State bound)

 

[starBUCKS]

Just an fyi too... he's a great long snapper (for reals)

BN$--Star Florida LB Commitment To Visit Ohio State

Ryan says he may cancel his Florida visit this weekend and come to Columbus instead. He will know for sure tomorrow and says he will either attend tOSU or Florida.

The fact that Mama Shazier is 100% for Ohio State doesn't hurt...

 

[Taosman]

Could come in early, too!
Would be a terror at "star"!

 

[cbrian815]

Wow, kid has speed to burn, at a position of need. Safety and LB spots will sure be competitive next year. Hope he joins the good guys, and Mom gets her way. Go Bucks

 

[Poe McKnoe]

Real deal.

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

I haven't heard any stories about the mom, is tOSU her preferred choice?

 

[Aviator330]

Reel him in Mr. Cash

 

[southcampus]

Sounds like a lot of people are really excited here.

 

[k2onprimetime]

Hopefully Cash recruits him hard. Hes a solid Linebacker.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Considering he wants to enroll early and Jeremy Foley (UF's AD) said he expects a new coach to be hired in 2-2.5 weeks, it would seem to me OSU is in really really good shape here. If nothing else, it looks like OSU won't have to wait long on his decision, regardless of what it is.

The opposite...she's the one they're gonna have to sell from what I gather. If it happens, this would be a major coup. Shazier is a stud and has the skills to contribute from day one.

Ryan is just another perfect example of why we don't bash recruits on this board.

A mere hours after the head coach of the school he intially chose decided to retire, he was on the phone with our coaching staff, trying to schedule a time to come in for a visit. We were a close second before, and both parties left on good terms. There's a good chance he might not have that good an impression of us if emotionally charged fans blast his decision publicly on the internet. That stuff doesn't just rub off. It's on there forever (ask TSUN). Instead, it seems like we've got a big time recruit pretty much falling into our laps.

Justin Boren, anybody?

Yep....and IMO recruits shouldn't be bashed on this board(or any board) for the simple reason that it's the wrong thing to do. As a Buckeye fan i'm glad we,seemingly, have a second chance with Ryan. I hope he makes the decision that's best for him.
