Terp QB (who also hosted Diggs) will transfer. Looks like Diggs will be a Gator.

Is that just conjecture...or is there any fact behind it?

Courtesy of yourself.
So, why does this mean he'll be a Gator? Let's just wait and see...
I understand that...I just thought that because it's getting really close to his announcement that maybe someone had some insight based on truth. Just relax...we are all Buckeye Fans here!!

- Respect the Rivalry -
Mike Farrel said that Maryland and Florida are in the lead. He seems to be a pretty credible source as he did break the Devonte Neal story accurately. It doesn't mean he's going to Florida based on Farrels statement it looks that way.
- Respect the Rivalry -
Some guy are Rivals are predicting OhSt, some are predicting Md, and some are predicting FL. That's all within one recruiting site. Don't forget Jay Parks Recruiting has Ohio State pegged =)
Let's all be patient and let it work itself out. I'd hate for people to come away from this class disappointed if we don't get Diggs because we still pulled in an amazing class.
To be honest, it seems like the experts have differing opinions, and I also saw Mike himself tweet that nobody really knows who Stefon will pick.
Alex still says he likes our chances....
^^^^ hahahahahaha
hahahahahhaahhahahahah

This is just more proof that the experts really don't know. Here's a Maryland area journalist who says a "reliable source" says Diggs will be a Buckeye. At this point, I am definitely just in "wait and see" mode...

I'm staying OSU because that's how I felt last week and I have had zero reason to change that. I honestly have no idea how this one will go and I am purely guessing, based on the sole fact that I know OSU feels good about their efforts and usually that leads to good things with Urban Meyer. If it's UF, UMD, Auburn, or even Cal I would not be shocked and none of you should be.
Some more rumors, again FWIW. Personally I'm tired of all this but I just cannot stop looking.
He's probably giving everyone he knows hints that he's going to a different school so that it'll be a true surprise when we find out where he actually plans to go on Friday.
Even if he's narrowed it to Florida, Maryland and OSU we have at best a 33% chance. If it's at Floriday, Maryland, OSU and Auburn still, we're at 25%. Odds are heavily stacked against us, so it's best to expect the worst (Florida) and hope for the best (OSU)!
I am a recruiting nerd. Can't help it. It's encoded in my monkey DNA..........we need that swag (and talent) that Diggs brings........we need it. #buckeyeswagg #stefonswagg #urbanswagg
Mike Farrel makes me laugh though. Today he says Maryland is the team to beat out. Yesterday he was sure that he was going to florida. I bet Monday and Tuesday he was saying Ohio state and Auburn were the teams to beat out. He is all over the place on this. I keep reading today that ESPN keeps typing that Diggs is announcing today at 10. Im sure its another one of their hiccups but they keep doing it.
Just for fun:
Diggs story in today's WaPo:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/recruiting-insider/post/stefon-diggs...
I heard he's signing with the South Central Louisana State University Mud Dogs. With him on one side of the ball and Bobby Boucher on the other, unstoppable.
A real Diggs question... Do we know if any Ohio networks are carrying the announcement? Will it be streamed online?
Class of 2008
No, but Twitter will explode.
Doubtful on Ohio Networks....will most likely be streamed online at Comcast SportsNet
Diggs not announcing on Comcast SportsNet
i love the rollercoaster ride this kid is taking everyone on.
I know this is unoriginal thinking with the news that Diggs is no longer going to broadcast his decision on DC Comcast, but that can't be good for the terps. I can't read into it as anything against the other schools, but right away the kid at least showed he's a better person than LeBron.
Retweeted by Stefon Diggs on his page:
Ryan J Gill @Ryjgill Findlay, OH
@Marseanbaybee stop being a drama queen and pick your school. You will probably be a bust anyways.
^It had to be someone from Ohio that said it! lol damnit. I'm sure others have, but not a good look for Ohioans.
Auburn making a desperation move. They just offered Andre Levrone, Diggs' 2013 teammate.
Cplunk that comment made for a good laugh. My favorite part of that movie was when scUM put their water boy into the game to "help" and the dude just got absolutely laid out.
That dude from Findlay needs to stfu...
I'm sure Pantoni is all over it:)
Alex, do you know if OSU has someone that monitors internet activity regarding the football program; i.e., internet forums, twitter and other social media?
Don't know how on point this guy is but figured I'd put it here since I came across it.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/recruiting-insider/post/good-counsel...
"All-Met Defensive Player of the Year Stefon Diggs of Good Counsel is poised to announce that he will accept a scholarship offer to play for Maryland, according to a source with knowledge of Diggs’s plans.
Diggs had planned to announce his college choice Friday on Comcast SportsNet, but a station spokesman said Thursday that Diggs had backed out of the arrangement. While Diggs still might make his choice known Friday, it was not immediately clear when or where that will take place."
can't believe that the @RyJgill dude actually took a shot at diggs. I mean come on, the kid is a senior in HS, obviously struggling to make a decision and the dude takes a shot at him because it is taking him too long to make his choice. It took me longer to decide who I wanted to take to prom back then. The dude needs to stfu and let Diggs make up his mind for wherever he decides to go. The worst part about the whole thing is that the guy appears to be a buckeye fan. I decided to take a shot back at the guy on twitter but unfortunately didn't get a reply.
This whole Diggs recruitment reminds me of Ronald Johnson. He was the last WR we had a shot at that I felt we really needed. That didn't go well. Is he saying he isnt announcing tomorrow, or just not on TV?
I believe it is being reported he is announcing tomorrow just cancelled the TV appearance.
Alex, what's your take on the Washington Post piece? Oh, and thanks.
From several different twitter feeds it looks like 6PM will be announcement time tomorrow for Stefon. I assume it will be via twitter with no other medium mentioned.
I asked @bls1969 (from The Sentinel, which is a local newspaper for the county that GCHS is in) if his source was reliable, and he said very. It was his youth league football coach, who appears to be an important guy. Fwiw.
To the poster above me: he has a banquet at 7PM, so I assume local media will be there.
Also FWIW: http://247sports.com/Board/30/Diggs-to-Maryland-7657103/1
Yeah it seems we have a good shot here even though we were all but counted out earlier. The guy you're talking about and Jay Parks @parks_recruit supposedly from Olney, Maryland with alot of twitter info saying OSU. Just not sure how legit he is.
The guy that wrote the Washington Post article, Josh Barr, does not sound sure per his tweets as he does the story. May just want web traffic for his story.
for those interested...Scout board has a user (dossisboss) who has been on there for 3 years and rarely posts but has come out tonight and said he is 100% sure Diggs is a Buckeye. Also added that if he is wrong he will never post again. I'm gonna trust this guy. it's a shot in the dark but he's willing to stake his reputation on it so I'm going with him
Champions Bleed Scarlet & Gray
This recruiting season has absolutely been the worst ever when it comes to people making bogus claims of "insider" knowledge, instead of just letting these kids making their announcements in their own good time. I won't miss it.
The most "loud mouth, disrespect" poster on 11W.
Its over - he's going to Maryland. The mom stepped in
- Respect the Rivalry -
now i just hope he decides before 12/21/2012
O H I O is the Buckeye State
What's this mom talk?
Tough times never last, tough people do
I don't mean to have a Badger Bret moment and display a sour grapes scene, but this kid reminds me of TP. I really don't care where this dude goes. If he comes to tOSU, I hope UFM knocks the immaturity out of him.
Come on MAN!!!!!
