The Front Row

Its a dead time and most people including myself look at scUM sitting there with 18 recruits and us at 11 recruits and it hasnt moved in months it seems. And we are saying to ourselves WTF. Im not blaming Coach Meyer. I think he is doing everything in his power. Some of these kids are just not biting. I dont get it, it seems like a perfect time to be a buckeye, but some of these kids are choosing schools that they probably wont ever get to play a BCS bowl game (or playoff game) at.

I'm not worried at all. We will get another OL somewhere in this class. Did everyone forget about Dodson, decker, and O'Conner from the last class? Give me Von Bell, one stud LB, and one more stud WR to go along with Jalin Marshall and this class will be pretty damn good. I hope we save a few schollys for 2014 anyways.

Do not discount the JUCO or Prep route with these new coaches either. Meyer took JUCO/PREP kids, and so did Whithers at North Carolina.
You never know, but I not rule out 1/2 of those type OL landing here if they identify ones they want. Alabama, Oklahoma, LSU, USC, FSU and all elites do it.
A few years ago OSU had Morgan Moses all gifted wrapped to come and play with his friend Carlos Hyde, and inexplicably Bollman quit contacting Moses, who should be a 3 year starter now for Virginia. Moses would be a senior starter now, amazing Bollman cut contact with that kid when we had him reeled in.

If OSU starts winning big, kids will take notice. Then you have the early kids that committed early to schools that did not want to be left out and realize they are not where they want to go, tranfers, and coaching changes that cause decommits.
