Eleven Warriors

Could've been related to Charlie Strong and Louisville, Charlie Strong is a pretty good up and coming coach and bigger programs than Louisville could be looking to nab him.

I would have to guess either Strong or Kelley. A storm could be brewing out west...I mean OSU isn't going to save a spot for him if he doesn't jump on board. With Jacobs it adds some serious pressure. Although that isn't coach loyalty.

Something is going on. Saying it changes everything and everything is wide open. He always tweets alot too it seems.

Good also be a WR postition coach too.... and Strong wouldn't be the first guy to sign a long extension and leave for a bigger oppurtunity.

Note I have nothing on Strong at all it was just what came to my mind.

Because they can provide some info...sometimes...

I too think its a Charlie Strong issue.

However, I do think the addition of Jacobs is going to make WRs who are seriously considering OSU to think hard about commiting sooner rather than later. Some might want to get in on the fun before all the spots are taken!

@UR Yeah but the ones he is talking about isn't! Now the tweet he just sent out about OSU and Louisville being tied at number 1 on his list is!

Uno1Siete7: Ok here is my five.. Louisville & Ohio State at one.. Oregon at 3 Kentucky at 4 & Missouri at 5! OSU & UofL will.be put in order later on!"

Uno1Siete7: Ohio State is even with Louisville

Let's all face it. I honestly think we are going to oversign this year... No way should we be getting 22 kids in this class!

I don't think it is oversigning.  They wouldn't be taking the commitments of Munger and Lewis if we were to oversign. Period.  I think they know more attrition will be on the way. 

That could be the case and I don't know enough to deny it. From my vantage point they are already aware of a few and our forecasting more due to lack of playing time that they are envisioning.  

The usual 2 or 3 per year, a medical redshirt possibly, and then some unaccustomed to Meyer's way.  I think the attrition due to coaching change is definitely possible to leak into the future due to the vast difference that exists in the way Meyer and Tressel operate. 

Forced attrition is definitely oversigning but nobody has any idea whether that's the case or not...It looks like it's going to get interesting on the WR front now regardless.

As it stands now, I do not see it happening. 

Whaaaat? Never heard that before...

Why would he get in to Pitt if he can't get into B1G schools? Seems like Bama's standards would be lower than Pitt's

Rumor on TOS says we stopped recruiting Quick...find that hard to believe. Anyone know anything?

I love NY's comment!!

A little off topic but what about Cornelius Elder? Sounds like his recruitment is starting to pick up. Would we take him if he wants to commit?

I don't see Elder or Whitfield in the picture anymore with the scholarship limit, which kind of makes me sad. Any time you see players that dynamic you want to get greedy and take them all, but I really hope we get a traditional WR like Foster, or an in between guy like Quick.

I don't know anything about anything, but seems to me like the guy they got today was basically our Quick, in this class.  Seems like the kid who signed on is the same kind of player.  Kick returner, and smaller receiver with speed to burn.  I have a feeling Quick isn't an option in this class anymore.  Just my gut, not real reason. 

@MJB Green still says we're one of the programs still recruiting him the hardest, so I guess we're still in it. I'd like to see him in Cbus, but honestly, he's not a need like you said. Unless the staff knows there's an extra spot for him, I'd painfully give him up in lieu of the needs.

@BTALBERT Quick is listed at 6'1'' 180 lbs, he's definitely not the Harvin-role guy that Jacobs is speculated to be. More of a pure WR

Yeah just went through quicks twitter and he listed us as even with Louisville, that's gotta be a good sign as a few days ago we were number 2

To be quite honest, I think when you talk about Marshall in a couple of years its going to be as the best RB on our roster. He is rock solid @190lbs now, which is bigger than a few of the top backs coming out this year. He runs hard, and breaks tackles.

Well actually I do feel Harvin was Florida's best RB. I see Marshall at a 50/50 split backfield/slot ...

Harvin had more touches and touchdowns running the ball than catching it at Florida.

Ha, hope you liked that offense Spreston2001. If you watched the spring game, Miller completed a lot more passes within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage than he did 20 yards downfield. Running and dink and dunk to move the chains, with the occasional big play mixed in, is in store for us this year.

Exactly what I was thinking Derek, we are i need of just one more reciever and i'm sure the staff would prefer a more of a wideout then another slot guy. I think quick is high on the buckeyes and there doesnt seem to be much evidence to support Gibson or Foster will be wearing scarlett and grey. 

I hope so. I would love to get North I think he is going to be amazing, his film speaks for itself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-u66yY8a1A IMO I think he's one of the most underrated players in this class. Last I saw we were in his top five obviously going to depend on a visit, heres to hoping Urban can get him on campus. 

Quick and North IMO would the best possible ending to the wideouts in this class. 

Love to have Quick, but believe he is Louisville bound. Think he wants to play in the SEC.

Based on what? Yesterday he said OSU and Louisville are even as his leaders.

TIL: Louisville is in the SEC.

Just so everyone is clear, Kentucky is in the SEC and Louisville is in the Big East.

OSUbias - exactly.  We are going to do to everyone what Florida did to us in the NCG.  Five to eight yard outs constantly moving the chains.  Of course, in the championship game, we curiously refused to move our corners closer than 10 yards off the line of scrimmage to adjust to their dink and dunking us to a blowout.

^^^^^^ Been saying that for years. Glad Heacock is gone, cuz I lost all confidence in him for not playing bump and run on those receivers on 3rd downs the whole game.

every team team from Northern Illinois, Miami of Ohio, Purdue, Toledo and even Navy was able to exploit the soft coverage on the corners to move the chains.  Kind of why I always dreaded a potential matchup with Kelen Moore and Boise State, and why OSU couldn't close out Texas in the 2008 Fiesta.

I could see him going to Louisville if it was a playing time issue.  However, OSU is in need of dual threat types of wrs that can catch and help in the return game (which Quick definitely can).  Just like Jacobs, Quick is a needed addition.  I see this being the reason for Mr. Gibson's drama as of late.  I feel more attention is going to Quick then him fromthe staff.  I could be very off on this one but I tried to understand why Shelton would say he's including others in his recruitment unless he wanted more attention...again...IMO of course, no "site" or "link" LOL.  Just a hunch...

I think he is going to become a buckeye. He said a decision isnt coming soon, but the longer this goes, the better it is for us. It allows more time for that unloyal coach to leave and allows the coaches the build a better relationship with him and get him back on campus. I like our chances with him. I think there is 0% chance we get Foster based on we havnt heard anything about him and Ohio State in forever. I also beleive Shelton Gibson might have been told by the staff that they are moving on and thats why he put those tweets out. Would love to nab James Quick.

OSU lost to Texas because OSU didn't take their time on that last drive and run out the clock! That was their game to lose!

Derrick Green is HUGE! The kid looks kinda like Jerome Bettis!

^Rebuttal: Dominic Clarke seemed to have a smidge of animosity, so I disagree with you there.

Also, I'm not sure how you can say Michigan doesn't work for what they get, they made serious improvements last year and you don't get anything by just waiting for it.

@BHOP yeah don't get me wrong, Clarke was a tool. Derjuan Gambrell lived two doors down from me, and I witnessed the incident that got him kicked off, so I'm no stranger to some of the disciplinary issues that Urban has faced early on.

Ohio state lost the fiesta bowl to texas because anderson russell jumped the slant route with no saftey deep to save his ass. Because he was the saftey. And the defensive backfield was flattened out and heacock sent a blitz. It was a bad call by the coach compounded by even worse excution from the safety the should have been sitting on the route a little deeper instead of jumping the route and trying to play the hero. Its a lot easier to let him catch a ball in the middle of the field then close and make the tackle than it is to recover after making a horrible read and trying to jump a quick slant with no help over the top. That's my opinion as far that game goes. All he has to do is make that tackle and watch the clock run out.

I'm not disagreeing with you but when did that play happen? After Ohio State scored that final time and if they would have held onto the ball and ran all their time off the clock and then scored, that play would have never happened in the first place. Either way, we are both right! In my humble opinion, the better team didn't win that game! I realize that a million things could have happened and the game could have gone either way but I'll still say Ohio State was the better team. I think they were the better team all 3 times they played them. I don't think that Vince Young team was really that much better at all. And USC was supposed to be the one of the greatest teams ever but I think we could have hung with them too that year.
