Which Top Ohio Recruit(s) Do You Regret Losing to Another School?

[LordJeffBuck]

I thought that this poll was timely, in light of the fact that Ohio State has just lost the top in-state prospect for 2007.

This is a multiple choice poll.

EDIT: All rankings are from Rivals.com.

 

[LordJeffBuck]

Of the 15 players listed, the only one whom I regret losing is Manningham (and the Buckeyes never had a chance with him).

Primarily a lurker, but I'd thought that I'd jump in. I think that your point here is spot on LJB. We'll miss some top talent but life will move on.

I voted for Manningham and Boren. Manningham on proven results even though he was never in play for us, and Boren on potential. It's impressive when you see the playing time that he has as a freshman at a school the caliber of M. Legacy recruit for M and though things looked good early for the Bucks, the family tie to M was too much to overcome. Don't fault the coaches at all.

Manningham, no question about it.


Think of how nasty the WRs corps would be with Teddy, Gonzo, and Manningham as the top 3 WRs. Absolutely sick.

I guess Ben Martin could be added in as well.

 

[Best Buckeye]

I don't regret losing any of them. The ones who want to become Buckeyes do and come here to play. The one who don't go elsewhere because they want to. They make their own beds and have to lay in them.
I want only those that want to be Buckeyes because we ARE t:osu: .
If they don't want to enjoy the status then so be it.
We will play and WIN with what we have.
GO BUCKS!!!

I could Not Agree More

I don't think for one second any of these guys are a total loss, someone stated that the ones who come here to play do, and then the ones who don't go elsewhere, that is so true... It takes a special type of athlete to come here and play for Ohio State, and you have to want to, and not get a Big Head, I won't mention any names (#13 (Clears Throat...))...

GO BUCKS!!!:osu:

Fred Davis and Manningham by far.

 

[wadc45]

Personally, I always wanted Ray Edwards, so he would get my vote...

 

[The Man]

Edwards, Manningham, Fred Davis, Cumberland and Boren were the ones I voted for. Edwards, Mario, and Davis are/were very good players and Cumberland and Boren will turn out to be studs.

 

[stxbuck]

We could use Manningham-he is a stud, and Boren for depth. Everyone else is water under the bridge.

I don't like the word lose, yes some of the above players would be good Buckeyes maybe but they weren't lost. A lost player would be a transfer, just because a player makes another choice they weren't really lost.

 

[Colvinnl]

With Quinn, I've always worried that Troy Smith would not have received the chances he has had Brady went here. We know who is better (Troy of course) but it is possible that Brady might have seen the field sooner and would have been tough to unseat.
