Could not agree more. Can't imagine a better human being, coach, and recruiter to have coaching the Ohio State defensive line. We would not have been in the Antwuan Jackson conversation (and many other conversations) without him. He has helped OSU land multiple elite defensive ends, and the elite DT prospects will follow in time - believe that. Moreover, the current DTs are being coached up well. I am betting that we will hear Rece Davis, Herbstreit, et al., utter the name "Robert Landers" before too long...

Think he's referring to the longtime NW DT commit that I asked about yesterday if any OH prospects were on the radar.
to his point, I read Brim saying there isn't anyone in OH the staff will go after

My concern with the DTs we already have on the roster is that the coaching staff seems legitimately frustrated right now with that position. Urban has mentioned it several times. And Birm reported yesterday that LJSr looked very disappointed yesterday. It doesn't sound like the staff is too happy or confident with what they have. Maybe Landers turns out to be a really good player. Maybe Hamilton or Alabi can become solid contributors, but reading between the lines, I'm not sure the staff believes that.

Undeniably. So go get Rashard and/or Rashan to go with Malik. There's nothing wrong with well-grounded optimism.

My concern with the DT position is that our LBs did not do a good job this year of filling the holes. I like Kwon's speed and athleticism, but I feel like we need a more physical presence in the middle. Our DTs need to be physical in handling the Oline, especially if our LBs aren't going to fill the hole quickly or get run over. It would be great to get at least one of Lawrence or Gary in this class. BTW where is Slade in the mix for getting more PT?
I am really intrigued to see how Meyer works his usual magic and how this class rounds out with Haskins and some of the WRs still on the board. I think we bring in another LB to top it off as well.

DE: Lewis, Bosa
NT: Hill, Munger
DT: Landers, Jones
DE: Hubbard, Holmes
If Bosa and Jones are healthy, I think the rotation will look like that next season. It's a bummer we've missed out on some plan-A or plan-B guys over the last few years, but the cupboards are far from bare. That's a very quick 2-deep with elite potential.

At DT/NT add in Hamilton, Jones,Sprinkle and possibly Thompson and Cornell,there are lots of options at the position. It is obvious that the staff only targeted high end recruits at the position this year.
What will be interesting is if they feel like they won't get Gray or R Lawrence, if the move on to a "High Ceiling" project or wait for next year.

You know what? Chicken butt.
We have no idea where the staff is with Lawrence. If there was ever a time for Urb to pull off some signing day magic, this is certainly it. And Urb is such a competitor you know he is ALL IN on him and Gary. Talk about a full court press. I guarantee the staff is bringing their A game. Ya never know fellas.
