The O-Zone and Micheal chung interviewed Thaddeus Snodgrass and asked him what actually happened a couple months ago. Interesting.

Not working for me.

"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.

+1 Good find!

FYI: You left of the 'l' at the very end off your link so it's not working right.

Sorry about that. Thanks for the help! Fixed on the OP.

That was a good read. I think IMO that tOSU has moved on to (maybe) bigger and better blue chip athaletes.They have a truck load of talent wanting to come play for UFM.

Favorite food? Fried Chicken

This or spaghetti are acceptable answers.

hahaha, he has Penn St. #1?!? C'mon man!

Interesting read. Seems like OSU is looking at him as a backup prospect for them.

Also seems from some past recruits, if they tell you what you need to do to improve and you do it the offer is there.

Ozone: What actually happened when you delayed your announcement? Was there anyone asking you to wait? What happened when you talked to the OSU coaches?

They just told me what I need to do better.

Ozone: There was some talk at the time that maybe your OSU offer was not commitable, is this true? Could you have committed if you wanted too?

That's false. I could have committed anytime.

Ozone: Why haven't you committed to OSU?

Because I'm looking at other schools and see what they are offering.

Much like with Gibson's explanation, I call BS. Grades, grades, grades. He seems disgruntled that he wasn't allowed to commit. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

LouGroza on 15 Feb 2013 - 2:56pm #

Yep, somethings up.

Hayze on 15 Feb 2013 - 3:22pm #

Agreed.

Everyone and their mother knows that if Gibson could have he would have been a Buckeye.

Seems similar to what Snodgrass is saying.

LouGroza on 15 Feb 2013 - 2:55pm #

Think it shows how the evaluation process plays out. The staff has things they want him to improve on, which is what he is saying, or have other issues that have changed things. Like a Tim Gardner situation, if he attacks the concerns to show he cares and wants in, they take him in. If he doesn't, then they go elsewhere. Sounds like it may not work out at this point.

Kid has a bit of an attitude.....not a horrible thing but being humble will get you far with this coaching staff...special things are happening here and a showboat just doesnt have a place.

Buckeyevstheworld on 15 Feb 2013 - 3:09pm #

Huh? We must have read two entirely different articles.

Royball on 15 Feb 2013 - 4:16pm #

Yeah, I agree with you. Why should he still be head over heels for a program that, it sounds like, has basically stopped recruiting him? If the coaches don't seem particularly interested in maintaining the relationship, which our staff has said is THE key to recruiting, why are people upset at the guy for reciprocating, and lowering OSU on the list (and it's not even like he dropped OSU off completely).

I think we're going after better receivers, and if he chooses to go to PSU or wherever, good for him. We need better talent in the B1G, and our staff has basically said that they're not that worried about losing him to someone else. I trust their opinions.

4-6 seconds of relentless effort

Jangs78 on 15 Feb 2013 - 5:00pm #

Its just my opinion of him from interviews Ive seen over the past year. I think the article mentioned something about him losing some of the swagger too. I would just rather go after other blue chippers at this point

ausmos on 15 Feb 2013 - 6:24pm #

I like a little swagger in receivers, but I don't really like him as a receiver in our offense. He does not have elite speed or elusiveness and he is a smaller receiver.

Penn St would probably be a very good fit for him. He would be a good slot guy in their offense.

Brutus Forever on 15 Feb 2013 - 7:10pm #

his coach said he needs to lose a bit of his swagger, which is code for "he needs an attitude adjustment because he is too cocky". maybe im reading too much into it but it also seems like he can't take constructive criticism. both of these are attitude flaws imo

osubuck57 on 15 Feb 2013 - 3:19pm #

I think he and Lonny Johnson are becoming Timmons' type guys,because we are in on some higher profile WRs.

Chung doesn't ask very subtle questions.

Can't imagine the staff is thrilled

SpoonerBuck33 on 15 Feb 2013 - 8:48pm #

People around the program are not impressed by Chung's reporting "abilities". His recent tweet about Clifton Garrett was not looked upon with favor. Believe it was along the lines of Clifton Garrett saying theres 0% chance he commits this weekend then the end of the tweet read "u think Urban cares". Id expect nothing less from a bleacher report alum.

"They stopped calling"= They want bigger talent or there is something they don't like about the kid. Whether it be grades or character issues.

ATT2121 on 15 Feb 2013 - 8:41pm #

When some kids are challenged it makes them better, some not so much. If he had a problem with constructive criticism now he sure wouldn't like it when he got on campus. On to the next one. JMHO

I have very little positive to say about this. I know he's only 17 but he needs to realize that a good coach isn't just going to sit there and whisper sweet nothings to him. It sounds like Urban was being real with him.

And about PSU being a "family atmosphere" does he mean a family where your creepy uncle puts his hands in your pants?

Just a life long Buckeye fan wanting to talk to other lifelong Buckeye fans. Our honor defend, we will fight to the end for OOO HIIII OOOOOO!
