Nah.... He's twitchy in short space (hard to juke), long arms on tape, sheds tackles, has a motor, has a nice long stride when he's rolling... And it looks like they line him up at End a lot of times (which is where he could end up w/us). Lastly... His tackling technique... A1

Great watch addressing this... Some perspective on our expectations while having just experienced Haskins

And he should've been in NY as a Heisman finalist... In Krenzels own words... "If we only would've used him more on offense". Can you imagine what Gamble would've done in some of these newer schemes? 

That tape don't lie...

• Parris/Ginn type acceleration (especially on those slants)
• All day catches w/his hands
• Phone booth jukes and vision
• Physical and willing to pile push for a few more yards
• Hungry... Playing for his Mother and lil sister 

And I believe it's plus 5 if we count the red shirt jrs 

To be clear... "if we survive any possible one and dones this upcoming year"

I'll take either... But I go by the Zeke, Reece and Eddie standard. Robinson just has that natural lean, patience and navigates/slithers through traffic. 

Sweet 16 or Elite 8 this year. If we survive any possible one and dones this year... Sueing joins that team along w/other recruits... He's a proven scorer and rebounder at the college level... The squads are loaded. Final 4 and more the next year... BOOK IT

When looking through the posted chart...

OHIO STATE'S DRAFTS WITH SEVEN OR MORE PICKS IN SEVEN-ROUND DRAFT ERA

And not one of them was a bust 

Moving forward the staff should consider some of the following... 

• Always recruit a hybrid qb/receiver (that really can throw) to play primarily at receiver but provide snaps in practice and so on. Ideally this is our 3rd string/4th string qb. 
• Target quality 2nd string qb's (sleepers and etc) and promise playing time in many of the blowouts we have. These types of qb's are out there and will be willing to play here. 
• Still recruit the best of the best each year and play them asap. The new redshirt rules accomodate it. 
• No more top shelf qb's in the same class (Fields and Baldwin 2018)

I think Baldwin would've stayed this year even if Haskins stayed another year. Because he believed he could beat out Tate. That's a one year wait only. But in this scenario he knows he likely won't beat out Fields. He's led a team to a state championship game and comes from a successful program. Two top end qb's out of the same class are not going to stay. If he would've beat Fields out... Fields would've transferred.

“I’ve talked to (Hartline) multiple times, and he just knows so much about the receiver position,” Harrison said. “He’s just a phenomenal coach, probably the best receivers coach in the country. 

The summer scandal was a blessing (don't @ me)... Hartline is turning the tides. I'd say Clemson had taken over as WRU (arguable) but if any of the 3 receivers in the draft blows up this year along w/what Michael Thomas is already doing. Plus this years receivers are going to have some huge production. 

14-6 at the minimum B1G play 

I can wait for the winter... But I can't wait for OSU hoops 

“They were so excited,” Diallo told Eleven Warriors on Tuesday. “Screaming, everything. The coaches were so excited.”

That excited? They know something... Huge upside and the right mindset. 

You land those 2 recruits at Vanderbilt?... This hire like landing a 5 Star in himself. If I remember correctly... He spent some time in the offseason... Working on Jon Diebler's shot motion when he struggled as a freshman. If this is correct... He'll do wonders w/improving Ahrens' consistency. 

Gaud dam awesome

It was the means by which to get rid of Timofey Mozgov's high salary. So both of them for a 1st Round pick NJ had the rights to... And they landed Kuzma with that pick and freed up money to sign Da King. Hated to see him go... But happy to have Mozgov's high salary off the books. 

Now what's YOUR excuse.... Thanks for inspiring so many Ryan. Lastly... Future coach on staff at THE... 

And it's not like you'll know ahead of time where you are on that depth chart... Nor do the coaches...  Create it

Please choose one answer:

Because...

• A. My Mom makes me go to church
• B. My wife/girlfriend makes me go to church
• C. I'm so close to asking out this lady at church
• D. I work on Sundays 
• E. I go to church (for one of the above reasons) and I work on Sundays 

First... No shock. The more he didn't play later into the season the more it became obvious (with more similar players coming in). I wish we could've found a way to play him, even if in short stints, more this year. But... I trust in Holtmann and the staff seeing him waaaaaay more than we do. On the other end of things... It might just indicate that Diallo is on his way. The team is stacked at all positions next year... If the sophomores to be improve in the offseason. 

Best wishes to Ledee succeeding elsewhere. I'll always pull for him elsewhere. 

You missed one... Giddens is in the portal... He's transferring back 

I think Musa will hold down the SF slot though... He turned into a MAN by the end of the season.  And I wouldn't be surprised to see 1 or 2 late transfers near the beginning of the season (e.g. Potter) 

Thanks CJ 

Mickey should have been encouraged to keep his weight down as a guard/point forward and should've been running the offense at times... Especially w/small ball lineups. I do remember he started late due to academics (winter). He, Giddens (as a defender and rebounder) and Lyle (stay off da weed) were legit... Just not focused on building their careers and so on. I think a Scoonie, at that time, would've helped out greatly. Plus the leadership was a hard working but young Tate... Keita... Loving (just not a leader). In the meantime... Love how Musa came on late as a defender and rebounder (reminds me of Jason Singleton from the Final 4 team). Washington and Luther will both up their IQ and their 3 pt shooting by next season. B1G, B1G tourney champs and Elite 8 or greater next season... #BookIt
