Trey DePriest (former LB Alabama)

[AF_Ohio32]

If tOSU can't get TD, they will be just fine. If I recall correctly wasn't Laurinaitis a three start coming out of high school? All I am saying is :osu: turns lower rated LB's into 5 stars.

One position OSU has NEVER had concerns about is LINEBACKER. However concerns about the following have existed over the last 10 years or so at different times.

QB? YES!

RB depth? YES! (Remember a few years back when we had Lydell and Marurce Hall splitting time? Good guys but weak run game)

WR depth? YES!

TE? What TE!

OL/DL concerns? OH hell yes!!

DB depth? YES

Linebacker? NEVER!!!

Stanley Jackson on Jim Tressel from page 8 of the July-Aug 2010 Ohio State Alumni Magazine:

"I don't think winning is his #1 goal. Making them better people is," said Stanley Jackson, who played quarterback from 1993-1997. "I have a lot of respect for Coach [John] Cooper. He was a great coach. But the relationship these guys have with Coach Tressel is a lot different. I think he does a better job of raising men."

It's more than the ball.

According to Rivals:

Malcolm Jenkins was a 3 star recruit (1st CB taken in the draft)
James Laurinaitis was a 3 star recruit (lead the Rams in tackles as a rookie)
Santonio Holmes was a 3 star recruit (1st rd draft pick and Superbowl MVP)
A.J. Hawk was a 3 star recruit (won the Lombardi Award at tOSU and lead the Packers in tackles with 119 as a rookie)


According to Scout:

Nick Mangold was a 1 star recruit (1st rd pick for the Jets and only gave up 1/2 sack and had 3 penalties on the season as a rookie)
Vernon Gholston was a 3 star recruit (the Buckeyes all-time leader in sacks and top 10 draft pick)

Ginn & Gonzo were both converted CBs who ended up being 1st rd picks as WRs.

*Terry Glenn was a walk on(although he was not a Tressel recruit won the Fred Biletnikoff Award in 1995 and was NFL offensive rookie of the year with the Pats under Parcels).

5PM EDT from Buffalo Wild Wings in Springfield. Likely going to be televised by local networks, not sure which ones though.

ive been seeing on another website a Bama person who works at the athletic office has been saying tOSU will get Depriest based on the last few days events

 

[Frohlich]

That would be a pleasant suprise but I am not counting on it.

That would be outstanding, I'm not expecting it. But, will be dancing a jig if it does happen. Either way......
