Around the 'Shoe

IMO if the previous staff under Fick or Tress had already sent a written offer, it should be honored. But anyone not officially offered who was just being "courted" so to speak, will probably need to be re-evaluated by the new coaching staff.

No doubt, it's a two-way street. As far as the player, it comes down to how the college recruiting the kid explained how they treat a commit -- for example, Tressel wanted committed kids to take visits to other schools. Pat Fitzgerald tells the kids that he expects them to honor their commit and not visit other schools once they are committed. I'm not sure how Fickell and crew have dealt with this. If they've told Dunn to take other visits, etc. then he's done nothing wrong. I'm one who feels like once you're committed, you shouldn't be visiting other schools. Period. Would the kid like it if the school offering the scholarship went out and offered that kid's spot to other players while he was still committed? (an example Fitzgerald actually uses when recruiting) My guess is probably not. It's a two-way street.

As long as both parties understand what they're getting into then that's all that matters.

yes, I would much rather we do this like some other schools. If you commit here, do not visit. I think this may have hurt us in the past, maybe leaving a spot open and not going after someone else because some 17 yr old kid wanted to take some visits and ended up de-committing. I have no proof, but it had to have happened somewhere along the line. And with our lack of depth @ LB and OL we can't be waiting around for kids to look around.

UM............YES

So he can compete with Brax?

Not a malcontent at all, in fact a huge supporter but one that wants kids treated fairly. And I want a leader that doesn't have the history of recruiting kids that get in trouble with the law like Urban did in Florida. I am just wary of putting such hope and complete trust into a man that never stays anywhere very long, has shown signs of problems with kids, and has a strange track record of quitting and then staying. I look forward to some new members on the staff and a new offensive approach, best of luck to the Bucks but don't complain if your desire for victories result in some ugly events.

I hope that Meyer comes in and changes the platform in which OSU has become used to in this regard. There should be competition at every position. A school like OSU shouldn't have a huge gap in talent between the starting QB and second string. I don't see a thing wrong with getting rid of players like Bauserman who shouldn't be on the team in that capacity or using up a scholarship. I'm sure that there are a number of players who are in his same situation that will never play a down, what does OSU owe them? What does Meyer owe them? They were given a scholarship to perform on the football field. IF they are not holding up their end of the bargain, why shouldn't we be able to go out and get kids who can? Again, I just hope that the mindset that tolerates mediocrity at OSU will leave with the current coaching staff.

Smoking grass? Boren will come in and contribute here at OSU he is a player as is Pat E.
Lindsey and Hall are good players and will contribute on the OL next year.
Coaching will help them.

I forgot about Tornado, you are the second biggest tool on this board.
