Tressells Recruits

  • Are there any of Tressells recruits feeling the pressure of the talent Urb is bringing in?

    That's been a thought of mine the past few days. Even the thoughts divided between the two thoughts.

    Does a low rated recruit think he will have low to no playing time and make the decision to:
    1. Hold on and be thankful for the scholarship. Work hard and graduate a buckeye.
    2. Think about flipping and have the opportunity to play more.

    Tressel didn't recruit chopped liver but I would guess
    competition will very healthy. Let the cream rise to the top whether its
    Tressel's recruits or Meyers. I don't see any of the current
    recruits beating out Hankins, Shazier or Simon next year.

    And we have a history of "3 stars" becoming all americans! Can't rate "heart" !!

    I made no mention that Tress recruited chop liver.... but the cruits should always feel the pressure of a new staff and new players...

  • Hope they are all feeling the pressure. Nothing will get their minds right like fighting for playing time. The good thing about a new coaching staff is that there are no favorites to start out; everyone has a chance to grab a starting spot. Those who were down b/c senority and not talent was starting should be happy come fall

    Love how suddenly Jim Tressel recruited MAC caliber players. One of the biggest reasons Michigan was our lil girl the last decade was Tressel's strangehold on top Ohio recruits.

    I hear what your saying. I think maybe the wording of this should say something like:

    " Are there any of the lower ranking recruits feeling the pressure of the talent Urb is bringing in?"

    Some think that Luke/Tress was having to settle for lower talent due to the past years issues.

    Tress did have a Grip!

  • I will say this, isn't it refreshing to be the ones agressively
    going after the recruits anywhere in the country? With
    Tressel I never really felt comfortable with a recruit until
    the fax came thru on NSD. With Meyer I feel the verbals are safely
    in the bank.

    I'm sure many of these kids were on Tressel's list. Let's stop comparing. We had the Tressel era. Now we are starting the Meyer era. Let's just enjoy both and move on to beating Michigan; being a Big Ten Champion; and a National Champion like we always had as goals regardless of the coach.

  • Make no mistake about it, tress always recruited good, but Meyer recruits great. Tressel and co Developed 3 star players into great players. Meyer is getting highly rated kids fast. We also play in the b10, not the SEC. Its going to be so easy for Urb and less stressful killing b10 teams, rather than playing Auburn, Bama, Georgia and FSU in one month. This is about to be a crazy run....
