I didn't want to post this in either RB's thread as it pertained to all 3. But as of right now, JK Dobbins is the only RB commit for 2017, with tOSU in hot pursuit of Cam Akers. Much has been made about the comment from Dobbins alluding to him taking visits if Akers were to commit. I know some fans are worried that Dobbins may become a sudden soft commit, were that to happen, and I think we worry about that when the time comes and continue the pursuit of Akers. Akers and Dobbins are both extremely talents RBs with unique skill sets that would both prosper in this offense, along side the weapons being brought in, the O line being assembled and the superior coaching that tOSU has established. But, IMO the staff should keep tabs all season on Morgan Ellison. A kid who plays down the road, who wants to be a Buckeye, and in the case tOSU was only able to get one of AKers or Dobbins, I believe this kid commits almost on the spot. With few carries on his body(though 2 major leg injuries), he's still pretty fresh and could provide great depth. This is a great, yet delicate, spot to be in for the staff, but a place where they may have the upper hand, as no scenario doesn't sound favorable:
A. Get Dobbins and Akers
B. Get Dobbins and Ellison
C. Get Akers and Ellison
