I think Braxton could end up being the deal breaker when it comes to Nick. The fact that he will be sandwiched between Pryor and Miller (who, IMO and maybe I’m reaching, seems like a much more polished overall QB than Pryor – but isn’t the physical freak). I think playing time and being lost on the depth chart will have the Montanas looking somewhere else come February…. also keep in mind just how honest Tress is when it comes to recruiting – Its not going to be a secret that Miller is going to be the number 1 Target for ‘11.

We need a QB in this class however… I’m not down playing how good Nick is, but I honestly think I would rather have a kid like Andrew Hendrix, Phil Sims or Dwight Macon. I’m not saying any of them are heads above Nick at all, but each one of those guys could at least have a shot at another position unlike Nick and would make them the better pick-up in the long run with Braxton in the ‘11 class or just as extremely solid depth.

Again not saying I don’t want Nick on this team… but if we don’t land Nick but find a way to get Hendrix, Macon or Sims…I’d be perfectly fine and think we’ll be as deep if not deeper at QB than I have seen Ohio State in a LONG time!

I actually think we have a very good shot at Nick. What people don’t know is that Joe and JT have built a solid relationship and the whole religion thing is a positive here as Nick has mentioned before.

I think Notre Dame can’t be counted out until the end and Stanford and Washington are in there too, but the Bucks have as good a shot as anyone. Braxton Miller in 2011 wont be a bad consolation prize.

Even if he comes here is a chance he never sees the field. TP could stay four years and Braxton Miller will step in as the new starter after that.

Another one who we wish we had – Eric Berry. Dude is a stud, and I thought we had a legit shot.

I don’t think so. I think his name is making him a little better than he may really be, of course now he’ll end up winning the Heisman and going no.1 overall. Alabama would be a good fit, but daddy Joe doesn’t seem they type to want him to play for Nick Satan.

Slight thread jack, but do that many of you really believe Montana ends up in Columbus (see poll).

I’ll be shocked if we get him.

Losing Michael Floyd was huge…. We could have covered that loss with Marlon Brown… but alas, we lost him too.
