tOSU will get their guys one way or another, and Ed Warriner is easily the best OL coach in the country when it comes to the running game. No other coach can elevate his position players like Ed can in that respect. I'll be glad wherever Liam decides, he can't go wrong.

The issue would be losing two top Ohio guys to ND. That would definitely hurt regardless of who we get.

Don't have the links, but I'm told 247 and Scout interviews say that Urban went for the close this weekend. Liam didn't accept, but things may be more up in the air now. I'm hearing that he may not decide Sunday after the visit he had in Columbus. Things are getting interesting.

Both of those kids attend Catholic high schools. It will always, always, be tough to get a commit from a top player attending a Catholic school when Notre Dame also goes after him hard.

If this is true, sounds like he was planning on committing to ND (which would match the rumors of the past week). If he pushes back his announcement after this visit, that is good news for OSU. But still means that he's not completely sold on OSU, just that he's more up in the air again.

Not to mention, that Elder is in a very very pro ND part of Cincinnati as well. I wouldn't be the least surprised to see both of these kids end up at ND. Now if they went to say Colerain/Middletown/St X or Moeller(both Catholic but have far different thinking towards ND than Elder) and some non Catholic school in NE OH(I honestly don't know a thing about many schools up that way) then that would be a shock they didn't end up at OSU.

Need this big fella. Holding out hope that he comes into the Scarlet and Gray fold.

I mean, who could look at those championship rings and not want to have a box like that sitting on their dresser????

I can tell you if a kid is of the Catholic faith and goes to St. Ignatius Notre Dame is the first school that he is going to look at if he gets an offer. It has been that way for years and will continue to be because parents will want their kids to go to that Catholic school in Indiana.

The same views are at GCL south schools as well. But St. Xavier, LaSalle and aren't as hardcore with their ND love as Elder. And the neighborhood that Elder resides in, is one that is of the stereotypical Cincinnati fan base that primarily hates OSU, roots for ND in the fall(and UC when they're winning) and UK in the winter. Idk the Cleveland neighborhood dynamics, but I'm sure Cleveland is primarily pro OSU outside of the Catholics.

I'm a born and raised Catholic, but I'd take a flamethrower to ND if I thought I could get away with it. The connection to ND isn't always there, but as many have noticed, they usually get a strong look at a minimum.

It would hurt to lose Kramer & Eichenberg, but you never know how things work out in the end.

Kraemer, no. Eichenberg, yes. Kraemer was hardly ever favored to the Buckeyes, and didn't hurt at all. Eichenberg is another story, now that would hurt. Getting Meyers for 2017 trumps Losing Kraemer
