jesus christ wtf?

I have to admit, I'm concerned with our offense next year if we don't get Neal or Diggs. I started thinking about this is the context of a thread on the FR that asked what player from Michigan we'd most like to take.

At first I was thinking Pipkins - that guy is an insane athlete at 325 lbs. I couldn't believe the way he moved for that size at the AAA practices, and he'd make our already great DL class just plain old nasty. On the other hand, we really need OL's a lot more than DL's so I secretly still would want Kalis back.

I think the analysis would end there if Tressel still was HC, but Meyer's offense (not necessarily the defense) depends much more on playmakers, whereas the Tressel offense depended much more on a system backed by solid fundamentals. We've got one playmaker on offense right now and that's Braxton Miller. So, much more than addressing a weak Offensive Line, which I'm pretty sure we'll do one way or another (I mean, we've filled a lot of the hole at this point, anyways), my biggest concern is that we don't get (for lack of a better name) the Percy Harvin athlete in the 2012 class. I think having solid, big running backs addresses some of the issue, but the ability for them to be effective in the first place in a Meyer offense depends upon first stretching out the defense.

As a result, the biggest need for us at this point I really think is either Diggs or Neal. It seems like Neal is 50% OSU, and maybe a little under, with Diggs probably still 10-20% even with a OSU visit, so this is going to be a nail biter in my mind and it will be interesting to see what next year looks like if we don't get the Meyer playmaker type of player. Of course, it would be even more interesting if we did get one of them... or both!
