Want to say hello?
We love hearing from you! Whether you want to work with us, discuss advertising opportunities, or pass us a hot tip, you're more than welcome to drop us a line.
1) What happened with Robert Foster's visit? Posters on this site have referenced other sites in saying that his visit did not go well. You seemed to indicate that the staff was not pleased with him either.
2) Assuming we do not get Foster or Treadwell, are we satisfied with Jalin and Shelton Gibson only or do you see us taking someone lower on our board simply because it is such a position of need?
Tony Parker has been hard to get a read on, who are his two front runners?

@built I believe he is deciding on the 10th so you should have that answer soon haha
And Alex who are your sleeper spring game picks to committ at or shortly after the spring game?
Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite
What are our chances with the "superstars" we have offered? (Ex. Hargreaves, Cravens, J. Smith, Foster, Bell, MacKenzie, Bosa, etc)
On the flip side, are there any under-the-radar guys (like Jamal Marcus last year) that have a crazy highlight tape, but may not be rated that highly?
Ezekiel Elliott said that the staff was only taking one running back. We're certainly deep at running back and I really like Elliott, but can we turn down a hard working player like Derrick Green who has always wanted to play in S&G?
Is there a way to get people to stop saying: "He could be the next Percy Harvin!"?
^^^^^love it^^^^^
How many Defensive Tackles outside of Billy Price do we take this season and who is the most likely player/players to take those spots?
Any word on any post Spring Game transfers moving on from us or to us?
Aaron Lynch has been speculated as a transfer to tOSU
@GSW wasn't that resolved when he said he was dealing with "a personal issue" and would return to practice?
Yeah, I think he's expected back tomorrow. But I was trying to say that he was being speculated at one point, should've explained a lil bit more :P
gotcha, thanks for the info!
Who are your five must haves in this class that are currently not commited
Leading up to and right after signing day it seemed like the 2013 class had lots of momentum going and it looked like a top 3 class was a mere formality. In recent weeks with it seems like that momentum has dropped off some. I know its going to pick back up at some point but with recent developments with some of the top players on out board do you think the class will fall short of expectations? Where do you seeing it ranking in the end?
In case you dont choose my first question i got another for you. How do things look for QBs in the 2013? With one of our top QBs on the board committing to ND does that leave Bailey and Barrett as the top 2 on our board? I know we are sitting good with JT but in the end i just dont see him coming here. If we were to land JT would we just take one and if we dont what is your opinion on Bailey?
If you had to predict who woould be in this years class today, who would be on that list?
How is the recruiting database you have mentioned as a work in progress for the site coming along?
Thanks Alex for all you do, it is much appreciated:
Pretty general question, but I am curious, from a depth and talent standpoint, and with upper-classmen leaving and new guys coming in (class of 2012) what are (or will be) the biggest needs for OSU in the classes of 2013 & 2014?
First, like Fort Meyers, I'm also interested in the progress of the recruiting data base and wonder if you're intending to include a mock "big board" to help us figure out the staff's priorities. Also, there has been very little buzz around Courtney Love and I wonder if you could shed some light on his recruitment. Is he already in as a silent verbal? Does he have a committable offer? If so, is he a lock, and if not who else is he considering?
Who is the "Jamal Marcus" type sleeper (offense or denfense) in this class that we'rerecruiting or is already commited?
1. Is their any other recruits outside of Parker that we are in the running for in basketball? How many more bball recruits do you see us getting?
What quarterback(s) do we get in the 2013 class?
1. Kind of early and how many spots will be available is still up in the air a bit. But Alex and staff it would be fun to see your guys early predictions on how the rest of the class will shape up come signing day.
2. If Barrett commits do you think Urban still takes another qb?
3. Who are a few recruits that are currently committed else where that you could see ending up a Buckeye (ala Mike McCray, Malik Zaire, Dymonte Thomas)?
4. Of Cravens and Bell who do you think is more likely to commit to tOSU?
If we don't get Tony Parker, do you see Matta using the scholarship on maybe a local kid or do you think he banks it till next year?
What are our chances on landing Treadwell?
If we don't get parker do we go for Della ville?

With Baugh as a buckeye now who of heuerman/McNeil do you think we take as a 2nd TE. I'm assuming we wont use a scholly on a third considering we have limited.
Also, outside of the no brainers (Cravens, Bell, Fuller, Hargreaves) does OSU take any more corners/safeties? Our secondary seems pretty stacked but I know we have chances at least at Caleb Day and Mackensie Alexander. Does Jayme Thompsons commitment impact whether or not we take one more?
Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite
