Eleven Warriors

Please be Bryce Brown..........

Alex, you got anything?

same here built....

Yes it's VIP

i hope its not bs

Yeah no BS plz.

Just checked the Florida roster JRs Mike gillislee could be the one was a frosh when it was Urbans last year. Hope this is true because that kid is FAST.

Andre debose and trey burton are some other guys I can see transferring.

I thought Muschamp said he won't let anyone transfer to OSU after Meyer was hired.  If that stance has changed, I would love to see Jeff Driskel come here.  

I want somebody fast just so they can help jalin Marshall with that Percy harvin role.

I'll believe this when I see it.

I hope there's something legit to this story. Would be pretty cool. 

Kyle Kalis?  2 weeks later, and he realized he really FUBARED NLOI Day?  Too much bleeding will occur in November, unless he changed his mind?

Is he from Florida hope ?he has serious speed!

Does Trey Burton really count as a *BIG* potential transfer though? What's he going to do, come here and sit on the bench some more?

Any help here Alex?

@Builtforthenuthouse -- Well fullback/h-back is what he'd play for us here....

Buckeyeinnyc he could play slot he has some speed that is rare (until these are all urban recruits).

What about Duron Carter?  victim of Oversigning Saban, so he completes the circle in Columbus?

well Danny O'Brien is transferring from Maryland but it can't possibly be him right?

Like someone before me said, I have no knowledge when it comes to this particular situation. But I wouldn't bet on it being anyone from florida. With the bad blood and bitter taste left in their mouths by urban, I wouldn't see them releasing anyone to transfer to play for him. I would guess its someone he may have recruited but didn't get before, or an ohio kid who went elsewhere and wants to come home. Like I said, I'm not an expert on about any of this, but I would think its one of those two possibilities

I heard danny o'brien might be headed to wisconsin.

Why is everyone guessing qb?  What qb would want to transfer to a team where he has no shot of playing barring an injury?

MoC transferring from the Omaha Nighthawks?

same recruitbuck.

will you write something about it alex?

@recruitbuck - Since when did a kid transferring schools become a backroom deal? Not like if someone finds out that he wants to transfer to tOSU the feds(NCAA) are going to break his door down and haul him away....

Being that it has *BIG*, perhaps a lineman, Seantrel?

I love how everyone is trying to look into every small detail of the post..  chill out, sit back, grab a beer, and WAIT!!

If recruitniks know about it, I am 100% sure that his family knows about it.

@recruitbuck - do you have a guess? And my other post was not directed at you as so much the comment from the scout board

@GABUCKEYE

i like your style. cheers!

trey depriest is the name im throwing out of the hat. May be wishful thinking though. but he would still have some years left here. we need some LB help also.

I think Sentreal Henderson makes sense:  position of need at a school about to get nailed by the NCAA.  Having said that I want to apologize for bringing up his name.  Hope his dad stays away if I'm lucky and am right. 

Just a guess!

Maybe Urban told Sharrif Floyd he had a dream that Floyd transfered to OSU.

ThirdLegLouie: the UNC theory makes some sense. Maybe the player knows that NCAA sanctions are coming soon? If so, players might be able to transfer without sitting out a year? On the other hand, he'd have to wait until the sanctions officially came down before announcing/initiating the transfer. Giovani Bernard? 

Meg doesn't transfer to another school. The school transfers to Meg.

Gotta be Meg.

The Ronald Powell idea is interesting. I live in Ca about 20 mins from where he went to high school at Rancho Verde and their football uniforms resemble TOSU.

http://espn.go.com/high-school/football/story/_/id/4700373/powell-grows-...

He already looks good in the Scarlet and Gray!

I'm with BJ Mullens on this one. Hopefully it is a game changer either at LB or WR.

Meastro - He actually did enter the draft. Sad thing is, he could end up getting drafted on potential alone. Kid is 215-220 with great speed, but man is he a headcase.

For the transfer to play this year, would he need to meet one of three criteria?: Plays at a school where there has been a coaching change, a college graduate who can move to work on his masters at another university(Wisky Wilson), or where a freshman can ask to be let out of his LOI because of violations. All others would have to sit out a year and probably would not do them any good in their pro status.

I also thought there was a talk of not allowing college grads to move to another univ. the way Wilson did.

Seriously wondering who it is. Once you get something Alex, please let us know or keep us in the loop if you would. Thanks man

There was talk on the scout forums, back in January, about their Middle Linebacker that was a 3 year starter for the Akron Zips, and had recently graduated, possibly coming to OSU.  He has 1 year eligibility left and wouldn't have to sit out a year.  Kid had 14 tackles against OSU this year.  Brain Wagner is his name.

ooops, after typing it out, I saw on google that Wagner took his talents to Tuscon Arizona with Rich Rod.

After careful thought, it comes down to one guy & one guy only. A former all-SEC athlete, it HAS  to be this guy.......

Dwayne Schintzius

He has eligibility left and we have the major he needs. The Dwayne Train will line up at TE. The one thing that's restricting this blockbuster move right now is that Urban has a very strict "No Mullets" rule posted in the WHAC. So, as of now....Dwayne is mulling it over.

That would be BIG if it is DePriest.

I was hoping it was Tebow

From that list, I'd say the most realistic choice would be DePriest or Hicks. LBs are in need and they are both OH kids...who knows though

If it's Trey Depriest, I'll pass out from excitement. Not getting my hopes up at all, but that would be un-fuc*****-believable. 

I doubt its Hicks I'm pretty sure he started at Texas last year and unless hes homesick or still salty that Muschamp peaced after he signed I doubt he'd go. My money is on Depriest although Henderson wouldn't suprise me either with whats going on at the U

Spencer Ware?

So close friends with Braxton might imply from Braxton's class. Any idea on guys we missed in that class that might be who the mystery guy is?

@Southbymidwest

Article here might lighten upon the subject of O'Brien

@Hayze

DePriest was his only close friend in his class, Fickell tried to bring him aboard but he chose Saban. Maybe he is homesick.

Wouldn't Saban just block Depriest?

The other one somebody mentioned was Spencer Ware.  He's intriguing as a runner, but he is more of a bruiser, not the kind of guy Urban needs to round out this offense.  OSU already has that type of back on the roster, but it's still intriguing nonetheless.

TO OSU

Honestly as clueless as you all....have the name of one kid who apparently was unrelated to this rumor but that is likely NOT going to end up here....this other kid apparently there could be something to...I guess 50/50 being that it's either he comes or he doesn't haha

@Recruitbuck

You are absolutely right. Its gotta be a big name if it is just for a year of eligibility. I would expect that the ONE year is 2013 when we are making a run at a NC. And the position that would make the most sense, even if it were for one year, would be a fast shifty type to play the harvin role in this offense or possibly the athletic H-back. Other positions were pretty well covered in this years class- along the lines, LB's and DB's won't be nearly as 'green' entering that 2013 season.

Trey DePriest is listed as one of Bama's 2012 starting LBs by Rivals depth chart.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but transfers can't play the first year (unless they meet certain conditions) PLUS they also lose a year of eligibility. DePriest was a freshman last year (not redshirted). So if it's him and Saban releases him, he'd be eligible his junior and senior seasons starting in 2013.

Anyone know anything about NCAA rules on coaches granting releases? When can they stop a player from transferring or do they have carte blanche powers re releases?

If I was going to throw out some 50/1 bets just for fun, I still kinda like the UNC angle:

Giovani Bernard (RB), Kiaro Holts (OT), James Hurst (OT), TJ Holt (KR/WR), Travis Hughes (MLB).

Not sure if any of these would be "huge" and/or friends with Braxton Miller, but they represent the best frosh/soph prospects on UNC at potential need positions for Ohio State.   

@juventas, I did some googling and found out we're both kinda right. Got what I was looking for from an article David Jones did when Rob Bolden was trying to transfer last year. http://blog.pennlive.com/davidjones/2011/01/ncaa_regulations_governing_r...

Yes, players do lose a year of eligibility if they transfer. However, if the transferee hasn't taken a redshirt year (which DePriest hasn't) they can apply that to the year they have to sit out.

Here's the pertinent info:

* Even if Bolden is eventually granted his release from Penn State, he must spend what the NCAA calls an “academic year in residence” at any new school and would not be able to play football until the 2012 season. This is commonly known as a “redshirt year” and is usually taken early in a player's college career, many times during the freshman year in order to gain footing academically and physical maturation. But Bolden played right away in his “true freshman” season, so he has a redshirt year available and would have three years of eligibility remaining at any new school beginning with the 2012 season.

Probably the more telling part of the article is about what recourse the transferee has if he doesn't get a release. I think if it's DePriest that is definitely going to be the case... ie Saban is a d-bag.

My sources are telling me Maurice Clarett is showing interest.

My sources can be trusted because they're trusted sources.

Sources.

Denard Robinson!  He always wanted to play for Ohio ;)

Well, Issiah Crowell always does seem to transfer during my NCAA dynasties...

Rob Bolden could definitely be a possibility, but I don't see him being a "BIG" transfer. If it's a quarterback, I think Jeff Driskel is the one.

I live in Springfield and found out its not Trey. He was just up here to see his family and is happy in Alabama.

Stefon Diggs signing with Maryland is looking like more of a dumb choice by the day.

How about sammy watkins from clemson if we are going all caps BIG.

Urban would get him multiple heismans

Sammy Watkins would be SO sick. Nothing would indicate that it's him, but that's pretty much best case scenario.

U guys are streching way too far with Sammy Watkins lol

I've heard DT Sharrif Floyd mentioned a few places recently (including here).

LOL @ all the fools who think "it could be Sammy Watkins."  What are you, HS boys?!

I'm not saying it's Sammy Watkins. There's nothing to indicate that it is. But saying it's a "BIG" transfer implies someone who is VERY good. So, you never know.

@ThirdLeg- What does the Family Hardship transfer do for a player? Does it change basic transfer rules? And one more, where is Floyd from? Much appreciated in advance if you can answer any of these, if not no problem.

Floyd is from DC area. philly

He's from Philadelphia

DeAnthony Arnett is the WR you're talking about. From what I understand, he had a choice between any Michigan school as long as that school did not play Tennessee. His choices ended up being between TTUN and MSU and he ultimately chose MSU. I think the same would apply for Floyd. But, I believe Florida can eliminate OSU as a possibility for Floyd. I'm not completely sure on that though.

@The419- Urban didn't want Chad Morris and never reached out to him, at least according to Urban. That was a rumor he dispelled at a press conference. Did say he had a lot of respect for Chad Morris though. 

@thirdleglouie good call, i didnt know that. Thanks, now i can tell my clemson inlaws that urban didnt want him and get them all hot and bothered

i dont want Crowell or any of the UGa runningbacks given how they were dominated by both Boise and Michigan State. Hell, we put up better rushing numbers against Sparty despite having an awful offensive line and extremely predictable playcalling.

Rumors are its Giovanni Bernard from unc, supposedly it's all but a done deal, kid really wants to be a buckeye from what I hear

 I agree with Alex, I have saw his highlights and he is the real deal. But we have enough running backs on the team that we shouldn't be wasting a scholarship on another running back. I think we need to be selective with our scholarships considreing we lose a few every year. I guess thats why they pay URban the big bucks tho!

 What are people thoughts on making Ken Guitton a "Harvin" type player? Listed at 6'-2" 190 with good speed. It would make him a bigger threat knowing he can throw the rock! I hate to see him hold a clipboard all season and see talent go to waste. Thoughts?  

He'd have to sit a year or take his redshirt year I take it?

I didn't know much about this kid when I first saw the name, but Google is a wonderful tool.  If this is the guy, it would be awesome.  That's some serious production from a freshman.  This could be that X factor Urban wants.
