Which 2006 recruit left on the board do you want the most?

I figure Small is a lock pending grads, so I put Larry Grant-stud JUCO LB ready to come in and make an immediate impact. RB and LB are probably the positions a JUCO can come in and make the biggest splash at immediately. Gibson or McCarthy may be better long term, but Grant can come in and contribute immediately-Gibson said in an interview that he needed to RS a year to bulk up.

Thought I said this before, but I don't see it now...anyways, I think our biggest position of need is DL...so I say Troutman.

Gibson because he can play the LEO like carpenter...and that made OSU's
defense so good

Have you watched Grant's film? Better take a look at it before you start talkinga bout "immediate impact"...maybe he will coming in early, but he is far from a Big 10 LB right now, based on what I saw on the film.

I'm answering based on the assumption that Small isn't really still on the board. I voted for Gibson because I think he is at the higher risk right now - hope he qualifies!

I voted for Gibson simply because he is a definite future NFL'er IMO... He's a flat out stud.

I think you have that backwards...

Troutman - games are won in the trenches, and I'll take a good DL over a great WR 9 times out of 10 (the WR better be truly great, not some "if-come" with 4.4 speed).

 

[buckeyeinfla]

what is the deal with small...he has a 3.3 gpa...are his test score low?
i think gibson will be a monster for someone

 

[OSUBucks22]

You mean for us...

 

[Savante]

I'm a Gibson guy. I think he's as quick as any player I've seen at LB and he's got a nasty demeanor. Not that I didn't love our LBs, but he reminds me of the type of guys FSU and Miami always have at LB that love to hit and kill guys. Attitude is what sets him apart.

My top 5:

1. Thad
2. Ray Small
3. Troutman (I agree with you, LJB, although I'm not completely sold on Johnnie based on film)
4. Derrell Johnson (gotta root for him)
5. Larry Grant

 

[jwinslow]

if gibson/small don't make it, they aren't gonna be playing for michigan/usc either from what I have gathered...

 

[wadc45]

both should be fine...and both will be Buckeyes.

 

[buckeyeinfla]

i will take your word wadc..

Agreed about Troutman's film.
