Stefon Diggs is concerned with the # of players Ohio State signed this year could hurt #Buckeyes chances of landing him

FWIW - Hellie is the DC sports anchor and is in contact with Diggs on a regular basis according to others.
Edit: As regular as anyone is.
I don't think ANYBODY is in regular contact with this kid and if they are, I don't think they are gettin much out of him....#keepin it close to the vest!
"You're pissed because we went after a committed guy? Guess what, we got nine guys who better go do it again. Do it a little harder next time." -- Urban Frank Meyer -- I LOVE THIS DUDE!! :)
Hellie then later clarified that he meant OSU had already signed 3 wide receivers.
Its funny how this kid is toying with anyone who he talks to and everyone buys into it. Nobody knows anything except Diggs - everything is speculation and everyone is speculating.

Diggs would be dumb not to sign because there are already 3 wide receivers signed when he clearly is better than the 3 of them to this point.
Well if the three WRs already signed for this class "worries" Stefon, Urban will take note if that is the case. I have heard him say a true competitor doesn't care who else is signed or who is in front of him on the depth chart. They come in ready to work and show the job belongs to them. Hope it all works out for the best whatever that may be. This twitter stuff is like deciphering hieroglyphics. The SEC coach assumption came from the absolute feeling that Muschamp and Florida has the red ass for Urban to this day.
Having a prominent role in Urban Meyer's offense would not be something easy to turn down, imo.......I'm keeping the faith with Alex.
Ya know what? The kid is probably thinking it's hilarious that so many middleaged dudes are freaking out over ever word he says. Also, I think it's freakin hilarious. Obviously, he wanted to take his trip to Maryland, and that's why he didn't make his decision by signing day. I know he kind of toyed around with everyone before that trip, but I think it's hilarious too. He has a good time on his visit to Florida, he's going to Florida. His mom has a shirt that was Scarlet and Gray, he's going to be a Buckeye! Maryland fans cheered his name at a basketball game, he's a lock!
it's hilarious! The kid farts and tweets come out that somehow that one smelled favorable for the Buckeyes. I'd be screwing around with everyone too!
WHY DOES EVERYONE BELIEVE EVERYTHING THEY HEAR OR READ? Nobody has this one pegged guys...wait until Friday...if something changes before then, you will know :)
Im pretty sure he is much better than the three WR we signed. Even then Urban has said he wants that speedy playmaker (as I am sure you have heard the "percy harvin" type) and diggs most certainly fits the mold. Its been said numerous times by many people/sources on this site and other sites that Ohio State's offense gives Diggs the best chance to be successful. Think about it, Florida will not utilize him like tOSU would (pro style vs. spread), Maryland is going nowhere with Florida State, Va Tech, and Clemson "ruling" the ACC add to that they were 2-10 last year and are currently on a modest 8 game losing streak, and until Auburn buys another Cam Newton they are not going anywhere in a stacked SEC. If he wants to win, have his skills used to the extent it should, and play for UFM on the best damn team in the land, he will pick THE Ohio State University
So are you saying he just farted? What was the expression on the faces of those nearby? Get what you are saying but for some of us retired middle aged guys with nothing to do its kind of fun. Thought that's what the site is for? Haven't freaked out in a while though. Those days are long past.
Is he scared of Jalin Marshall?
I seriously cant read anymore about this it is absolutely rediculous - Let me know when he commits. Untill then I'm off the forum

Lou, I love following recruiting and get on here several times a day to check out if there is any news or not. I'm more talking about people who stalk the Twitter feeds, or take any little comment about the kid and run the gambit of emotions all in 30 mintues. Oh He's coming! We dont' have a chance! Why's he such a prima donna? Etc Etc Etc. His decision is 2 days away, no one knows what's going on with him yet, but we'll find out really soon.
By stalking twitter I don't mean folks like Alex, Jeremy, or Genstar who use twitter for news. I mean people who hang on every word, picture, quote, or t hought of a player on Twitter or similar info about a player on Twitter the analyze it all.
We don't know if he's scared of the 3 WR's already recruited by UFM or not, we don't know if Ohio State is truly best for him either. Maybe he loves the idea of being a Harvin type of player, maybe he wants to be a great traditional WR too in a pro-style offense. We'll see in two days. I sure hope he picks Ohio State, but nothing that I've seen that has come out about him since the trip to Maryland convinces me he's going to any school in particular.
No but on a side note BTA25, Stefon was just spotted at all-state photo op wearing a Michigan jacket and a UF t-shirt!! What do you make of that?........Sorry had to do it. I get your point completely but it seems a post about Aaron Craft just may not muster up much emotion right now. But others sure do. The jacket and shirt thing is true BTW. HaHa.
Just got a tweet saying that Maryland QB Danny O'Brien has asked for and granted his release from the Maryland Football team. And that an offensive lineman was also requesting to being released from his scholarship. Things just got interesting for Diggs. I hope uncle Urbz got wind of this and is on the phone with Diggs right now. How could you NOT want to play with Braxton Miller anyway?
"It's good to be home." -- Urban Meyer
that is pretty huge...
"If he departs, O’Brien would be the 11th player with eligibility remaining to leave the program for various reasons since Edsall’s first season – a disastrous 2-10 campaign – ended in November."
I didn't even realize they were THAT bad last year...

Go Bucks!
Maryland was terrible last year. They went from a 9-4 team under Ralph Friedgen, who was canned bacause he couldn't get enough people in the stands and keep Maryland kids in Maryland, to this guy from UConn, Edsall. O'Brien went from Stud Quarterback to Head Case Quarterback to Graduating and Transferring the Hell Out of There Quarterback. In addition to the 11 guys tranferring, he blew through a DC and OC. All in one year. Alumni are calling for his scalp. Talking Sports Heads here are basically saying that if Edsall doesn't get Diggs, he is that much closer to being the ex - Terps coach. Not a good situation there.
Doesn't seem like anyone is very confident in Diggs becoming a Buckeye anymore...is it because of Mike Farrell's tweet (Rivals)? Just curious why everyone has gone quiet on him?
Champions Bleed Scarlet & Gray
Im just waiting till Fri
O H I O is the Buckeye State
^probably a good call. I just don't understand why the optimism has died down so much? One guy comes out and says UF and UMD lead and we think we are out. Diggs has had a new "leader" every day, which means he doesn't have one regardless of what Farrell says. Just my opinion.
FWIW there's a Gators fan over on Bucknuts claiming that Meyer trashed UF to Diggs and he "cooled" on us. I'm sure it is just someone trying to get a rise out of Bucks fans. Does Urban seem like someone who would "trash" the program he just left?
Champions Bleed Scarlet & Gray
If memory serves me correctly, Alex still likes the good guys until he hears differently.
Also, Ferrell's tweet said that even Diggs didn't know where was going, but hashtagged Florida and Maryland as his "favorites"; the tweet made zero sense. Ferrell doesnt' have a clue.
Just have to wait.
Here's Ferrell's tweet: Everyone wants to know where Stefon Diggs is going. HE doesn't know yet. #Florida #Maryland lead as of Wednesday. #OhioState then #Auburn
They have some really bad feelings about Uban taking the buckeye job and I doubt he said anything bad about UF . your probly right about it being a rumor.
Thats why ill sit back and wait till fri
O H I O is the Buckeye State
I dunno why anyone would want to go to Maryland after they wore those alternative uniforms last year.
agree that Maryland has the ugliest uni's I think I've ever seen. The "tortoise" pattern helmets are hideous. And the half and half uniform is an optical illusion I think. All of the combinations they put together make my eyes bleed.
also, did a little more looking around...idk if you all are familiar with experto50 over on the Scout board. He claims that as of tonight, tOSU is out of the running for Diggs. However, if you do know him you probably realize he gets trashed nightly over on the Scout boards. It's quite humorous if you're ever in need of a laugh.
I'm starting to agree with Xtreme that there is no use in analyzing because nobody really knows. I can't quit though because I have been following his recruitment for this long so I feel the need to see it through sadly. So sorry if any of these posts are bugging you guys. I only do it because I think Diggs could be an absolute stud for the Bucks.

Talking ourselves in circles isn't going to get us an answer before Friday night.
In regards to what Urban told Diggs about going to UF, a source* told me that Urban said, "Stefon, you would really be great at Florida... if I was still coaching there."
*There is no source. This statement is a fabrication. I felt the need to clarify before I woke up and found a thread asking for details of Urb's negative recruiting.
If you ain't a Silver Bullet, you're a target
We need... more Diggs threads.
I certainly hope he isn't afraid of competing for PT. That's a bad reason not to pick tOSU, imo, but I'm sure it isn't true. Nobody seems to really know anything about Stefon's decision, and people are speculating like crazy. Just stop it, and let's see where he decides to go on Friday.
