Ulmer To Maryland

Will Ulmer has committed to Maryland.

Looks like we are down to Harris, Kizer, Barker, and Allen. If Kitt commits to Clemson in June, I'm completely writing Watson off.

Another one bites the dust!

Fine by me. I still believe Barker is in play along with Harris. Let's remember too that McMillan has developed a relationship with Barker

I think Barker could be a big time recruiter for OSU. I like Barker a lot and wouldn't oppose him getting an offer.

I think McMillan has a lot better relationships with Kitt and Watson.... thats why if Kitt goes to Clemson, the possibility of losing McMillan to Clemson worries me

Favorite Buckeye: Obviously BJ Mullens

McMillan also said he wants to play behind a strong d-line. I think Schutt, Washington, Hill, Bosa, Lewis, Marcus, and Thompson fill that description.

I think the combination of Kwon and Kitt could have swayed Watson but I don't think Kitt going to Clemson would sway Kwon. I'm more woried about Bama to be honest.

Plus way back in the fall it was Booker, Kwon, Barker, Knox, Garrett, Hand, Glass and them talking about playing together. Kitt and Watson weren't in it as much.

What about this kid committed to Texas???

I only listed kids left who aren't committed. He's a possibility but probably won't flip unless Mack Brown gets axed.

Hold on. First of all, the staff really wants Harris or Barker now. Those two are the top priorities. Not sure how seriously Harris is considering us, but if we offer Barker, he commits to us.

With that said, Alex said for a while that if Ulmer got an offer, he'd commit to us on the spot. I bet that, if Urban decides he wants this kid, we flip him.

When I walked in this morning and saw the flag was at half mast I thought, "Alright, another bureaucrat ate it." but then I saw it was Li'l Sebastian. Half mast is too high. Show some damn respect.

Do you have any source or info to support "the staff really wants Harris or Barker now?" If that were the case they'd offer one of them right away. We'll have to wait and see how Harris' workout goes and I believe the staff is supposed to evaluate Barker during his spring practice or game.

'14 QB Drew Barker (@d_barker7) spoke w/#Buckeyes tonight. Was told Urban Meyer will be calling him this weekend, Herman visits next week.

Sounds like things are heating up with Barker and the staff! The only thing I wonder though is whether they took too long to get the offer out there (IF they're actually going to offer him now). He seems to be getting very close with the Tennessee recruits, talks to them all constantly now on twitter, and Tennessee has shown a significant interest in him for a long while now. I have no doubt he'll be an excellent recruiter for whatever team he signs on with, hopefully he doesn't feel spurned by the length of time it took (again, IF it's going to happen soon) that the Buckeyes took to offer him.

Maryland is loading up with speed Diggs, Ulmer, and Jacobs

Buckeyevstheworld on 25 Apr 2013 - 10:16pm #

I was thinking the same thing. We'll see all 3 in 2014.

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

Could be some movement on the QB front soon.

Barker! Barker! Barker!

ive liked Barker from the start, be nice to get him on board...he can be a great QB in Urbans offense

I wonder if Urban can't help but keep Mitch Trubisky in the back of his mind when they look at Barker's tape and report on him. Seems like he would've been a guy they pushed hard for if Barrett hadn't gotten on board, and from what the rumors were around spring camp at UNC, he's been impressive.

buckeyestu on 26 Apr 2013 - 7:11am #

I saw Barker play last year once, he has a very strong arm. I do think Urban needs to go after him before it is too late.

buck-I.8 on 26 Apr 2013 - 7:14am #

Do you know if he plans on camping at OSU at some point this summer? I wouldn't be shocked to hear that the staff is hesitant because of the comp. level on his tape. I'd say that if they're trying to take a QB that runs outside of the Braxton Miller mold, the staff would exercise a higher scrutiny in looking at individual tape.
