tOSU Recruiting Discussion

[OhioState001]

I am concerned. I thought noone on the coaching staff was allowed to speak publicly about unsigned athletes. Is that rule no longer so?

They are using the word quick in the generic sense and not someones last name.

Yep...using not-so-subtle talk-around.

He tweeted this a few minutes before which might make this all a little more interesting

Zach Smith ‏@CoachZachSmith Swish!!!!!! Lights out like Jordan!!

i could be wrong but i thought that was in response to TJ committing?

Could be. I guess nobody knows I'm just putting it out there.

hey i hope youre right

 

[Buckeye Nut]

The "Swish..Lights out like Jordan" tweet is in reference to Trey committing. If it's not then it's incredibly coincidental that he tweeted that within two minutes of Trey announcing.

Love it. I would love it even more if they did an "all-Buckeye" one, with the names on the Jerseys being Laurinaitis, Hawk, Spielman, Smith, Wells, George, Griffin, Holmes, Mangold, and so on and so forth.

I'm sure recruits would love it as well.

Yep...he's talking about swishing the three....otherwise know as the "trey".

It is always good to see us in front of Michigan on ESPN, Rivals, and 247.

Worley is in. I'd be happy about this point to land another skill position player like Gibson and Vonn Bell and call it a day. If a healthy Patchan wants in for one season and doesn't have to sit out, I'd take him as well. Gotta save spots for a very talented '14 class.

Rivals has none of tOSU commits rated as 5*. And we are at #3. Interesting.

 

[Bestbuck36]

They also have kids already with signed commitments to USC which I'm not sure if thats possible yet. Maybe it is with semester starting on Monday but I thought we had a few ready to start as well.
