No major changes. Added two new 5 stars, including Jaylon Smith. Eli Woodard moved up from 7 to 6. Ezekiel Elliot finally getting some respect, as he cracked the 150. Shane Morris dropped outside of the top 50

Ha! Shane Morris. 7 on 7 superstar.

I know there's a game saturday, and my ass will be there.

Is there any chance Urban can flip Jaylon to OSU?

^^^ I have no recrutiing background, I am not some type of analyst following these kids and I do not get paid to report on this type of stuff, but just to give you my gut feeling that is absolutely worthless, I do not think he is gonna flip, just IMO, of course. But then again, what do i know? :)

I am 99% sure he remains committed to Notre Dame.

I will say this it might come down to his brother getting in his ear and tring to build a better bound then what they have now to swing him to tOSU, plus alittle Urban will cap it if they can get him on campus.

At this point, my opinion is that Heuerman missed the bus, and now he has to watch the OSU wins from South Bend. He should've gotten on board then, because now I don't really care if there's a spot for him.

Triv on 7 Nov 2012 - 2:51pm #

@Buck I.8 I actually hope there isn't a spot for him. No room for a TE when we have much more pressing needs and will already have 4 on scholly next year.

Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite

Exactly. Not to mention 2 that have already proven themselves as threats. There aren't many question marks and Baugh is a beast

Burrows got dropped 20 spots. Kinda sucks. But I love that Morris is getting shown his place.

Does anyone know if Morris ended up missing the majority of his senior season due to mono?

Marshall also moved back up about 20 spots.

None of this matters, obviously, but it's always fun to look through the lists and compare verbals from one school to another, as well as the potential recruits that may still jump on board the OSU bus.

Dorian Johnson, James Quick, Vonn Bell, Mike Mitchell, etc... there are still some big fish to be had, and OSU has as good a shot as anyone else, if not better, at landing some of these prizes.

OHHIYO: Exactly!

Actually, that stinks for Morris, seeing that the poor guy has Mono and still isn't playing, but dropping a bit is much better than dropping out all together.

So just to clarify, and for my own enjoyment, TSUN's QB options next year are a talented incoming freshman (Morris) who has barely played since 2011, a WR (Gardner) that looks uncomfortable in both positions, a sophomore (Bellomy) that has completed as many passes (4) to his own team this year as the opposing teams in 21 attempts, or whomever else they'd like to put behind center?

buck-I.8 on 7 Nov 2012 - 5:24pm #

^ To break this down: 1. Bellomy is awful 2. Gardner is leading the team in TDs so I'd hardly say he looks uncomfortable at WR, but that's semantics. He didnt look awful under center either. 3. Morris will only play under some bizarre circumstances.

ESPN's rankings to me are a little bit of a joke... if I read correctly, Mike McCray (who I'm sure is a quality guy and LB) and Taco 'Don't call me Chalupa' Charlton are ranked higher than Mike Mitchell, who owned Nike's The Opening... I have no idea what goes into their evaluations, but they always seem way off from the sites that are dedicated solely to recruiting evals.

tennbuckeye19 on 7 Nov 2012 - 5:38pm #

Buck I8 is right. Gardner will more than likely be the starter next year with Bellomy as his back-up. My guess is that Morris redshirts next year.

As far as rankings go, Rivals is my go to site, and ever since 247 has added their composite rankings, I've been going there quite a bit. I generally avoid ESPN and Scout except to glance @ their lists when they are updated.
