tOSU Recruiting Discussion

[CFPBuckeye]

12 is a really high number of transfers. APR would take a pretty big hit, wouldn't it?

Hope not... but not much you can do about it.

I could be wrong but I was under the assumption that as long as they left in good academic standing, it wouldn't negatively impact APR?

Seven 5-stars per 247, after the Okudah commit.

The elephant in the room.. is some very uncomfortable conversations coming telling the player.. you're really good but really good chance you may not see the field

This is Big Time College Football. Like it or not, some guys are going to be (gently) urged to seek alternative homes to complete their eligibility.

Heck I bet coaches helped find new homes for them. I'm sure they help the process and make it an easier decision. Still sucks of course.

May be like Cincinnati??

Cicncy would wreck with the few guys that may transfer each year seeking playing time at tOSU.

Jaylen was probable before but the Brown news will make it almost a certainty.

What are you thinking on Munford with Trout and Lisle moving on? Or, is there a possible surprise recruit out there on the Oline?

Thayer is probably not a take, and if he gets in it will be very late. They'll chase a better national guy or two first. Also those two have been headed otgot awhile. Receivers will be next.

I'm feeling like we could use another OT.

Not sure Davis or Meyers project as tackles.

Not many on the roster.
Jones and possibly Pridgeon could be gone after '17.
Wondering if there any poach candidates.
Perhaps Holingford as he is one of 5 OT's verballed to Michigan.

Either way Carman is critical next year.

I tend to agree as it sits right now. Davis is almost certainly interior imo and while I think Myers could project at tackle with some work on his pass pro, he may be better suited to start off inside if we need him early (i.e. Michael Jordan this year). I have always been a fan of Honigford...if we can get back in there, I would like it.

Jones might not be around for 17.

 

[colebuck]

Starting to feel like a Harris, Sheffield, Tufele/Wilson, surprise OL finish. 21 with Haubeil grey shirting for one semester.

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

I'm not sure Haubeil grey shirts. Given Sean was beat out by a guy who had never kicked. Unless there is a walk on to be found do you really want to go into the season with only 1 kicker?
