Report: Diggs expected to pick Maryland

    Just had a dream I was in the swamp time to go back to sleep

    This kids is playing it. I am confused about one thing. There has been talks of him questioning going to OSU because of depth and competition, but he wants to play in the SEC? Doesnt make sense

    WOW ..you need to really chill its just a 17 year old kid picking a school. Not the end of the world. Who knows where he will end up.

    Lets try to keep this civil.

  • It's funny reading all of this on Diggs.

    If the kid goes to OSU, great. if not, great.

    I just love how some of our fans are so over-the-top and wondering why he would want to stay home and go to Maryland. Yes, its not a football powerhouse, but they have produced first round picks in the NFL recently.

    The same crazy fans will bitch and complain when an Ohio kids considers go elsewhere out of ohio, so what is wrong with a kid in Maryland wanting to stay home.

    The best part is all the people who go overboard to get any news or updates on what a 17 year old kid is thinking. That is the pathetic part. And then they want to turn around and call this kid a drama queen for taking so long. You do realize that you are his audience. So, what does that makes you guys. Again, not intended for everyone here, only those who follow the facebook pages and twitter feeds of high school kids.

  • As long as he doesn't pick Florida. That's the one team in this scenario I just don't want to see him on.

    Sounds like it's Florida or Maryland, as people have been saying for days. With Maryland having by far the best shot.

    Yeah, I think if he's announcing in College Park, he's all Terp.

    I just got off the phone with Looney's in CP and confirmed: Stefon Diggs (@Marseanbaybee) will announce his decision there at 6 p.m.

    If true, all Terp. Just don't know who Jakob Engelke is.

    His last tweet was "Shock the World! See you later Twitter" If he doesn't tweet again up until his announcement I might still hold out some hope that he's a Buckeye.

    It's a fluid situation. Will keep everyone posted. LOL

  • If this kid does not want to be a Buckeye, then who cares? Kids that grow up dreaming to wear the S & G and want to be here, are the kids we want.......this is Meyer's philophsy also......tring to fit a kid in, when he's rather be somewhere else is not the style. A real Buckeye lover whould have announced by now to be sure he was in the fold.....let him go....

    Well, after seeing all the rumors, the announcement time and place changes, all the insiders saying different things, I think two things are abundantly clear:

    • Diggs has either not been sure what he will decide or has been intentionally leaking stuff just to keep everybody on the edge of their seat, ie he's having fun with all the attention

    • A lot of people are making a lot of stuff up and purporting to be insiders. I think some of the claims about him announcing at the bar on the campus of Maryland were probably made up.

    Anyway, I at about 50/50 right now UF and OSU.

    Miguel: How'd you make your bulletpoints? What's the trick? That's about the only thing about this entire thread that interests me.

    Here's my summation: First, he pushes his decision back to today, huge prima donna move. First it was going to be at 10, now 6 and yet per Kristin Kenney his HS has a banquet at 7--why wouldn't he make his announcement with his teammates all around him? He scheduled a live televised announcement for tonight, then inexplicably cancelled it. He's supposedly said he's announcing at a UMD campus haunt--a minor doing it in a bar? Then tweats he had a dream about playing in the Swamp..."Contrary to what you hear I have not made a decision . A lot of people going be mad at me . But oh we'll gotta make the best decision for me." And an hour ago he tweated, "even my own city may be mad at me." I think this kid's been having the time of his life playing everyone from the beginning. I'm not sure that I'll 100% believe him when he actually announces his choice.

    As far as I'm concerned, 6:00 p.m. today will arrive at exactly the same time it does every day. By then, I'll have a cold beer in my hand and I'll either tip it for Stefon Diggs coming to OSU or wish him well going somewhere else. Whatever he decides, I respect it's his life and his decision but in the scheme of my life, it's neither going to make or break my day.

    The Buckeyes might be better with him; I know we'll somehow manage to survive without him.

A real Buckeye lover whould have announced by now to be sure he was in the fold.....let him go....

    If we limit ourselves to just kids who grow up wanting to wear the S&G, we're going to have a small list of recruits to choose from.

    Don't worry--I'm not taking your statement literally. I get what you mean; in fact, I'd love to have a roster that's 95% Ohioans the way Texas's is 95% Texans. But Ohio isn't always going to produce the very best talent in the country and if we want to win NCs, we have to recruit outside the state, which means kids like Diggs who may not have thought about wearing the S&G until OSU contacted them.

    As far as Diggs his concerned, we weren't even on his radar until Urban was hired, then we were off and then back on again so I think his decision has very little to do with OSU and a lot to do with Urban Meyer. The lure of playing for him has been too hard to resist; what may be lacking is his desire to come to OSU. Edsall and Locksley are good coaches, certainly nowhere near being in Urban's league but Ohio State isn't located in his backyard, either.

    Dude, really? And if he was 37 years old then it would BE the end of the world?? Dude, seriously. Look, we're all walking on eggshells here and you come in with a flamethrowing megaphone freaking us all out with some "legit" newspaper homer? WTH do you expect???!! Obviously, you're gonna get some negative feedback Lets Chill a little. bro. We're all trying to get through this together.

    Wow, if he picks Maryland so be it.

    Your right and we should not hold it against these kids if they take there time. He lives in Maryland and I could not blame him if he wanted to stay close to home.

  • I don't think he is coming here. I also don't believe he is going to Maryland. I think he is Florida bound.
