Recruiting Class 2012

    forgot all about 2013. all thats running through my head right now is that Kyle Dodson just committed to Wisky. Such Bull Shit! I have him as a friend on Facebook, & he just posted a status just saying " I AM COMMITTED TO WISCONSIN! ALL THE OTHER COACHES RESPECTED MY DECISION & THEY WERE CLASSY ABOUT IT. THANKS FOR RESPECTING MY DECISION & FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!!!" All I can say is wow. Cant believe he did this to tOSU.

    Kid should have had an OSU offer a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG TIME AGO...You snooze...you lose. Its the staffs fault. I have never understood OL recruiting, development, and production in the Tressel era. Its one thing I will not miss about Tressel and his regime. If Fickell doesn't get a real OL coach and OC he will not last long at OSU. GET RID OF THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY plan and get the best coaches.

  • ya true dat!!! Now who do we replace for Dodson. I think we have to find another OL and go after them. were to low on the OL to only get 2 OL this year. we got 2 so far & Kyle Kalis told me on Facebook that our Chances w/ Pirsig, Diamond & Goodman are slim. He has been talking to them & they have OSU in it, but he thinks they are just telling him that.

    Two ways to look at this.
    1. Dodson had problems with the ACT score so maybe he will have trouble to follow in that catagory.
    2. There isn't much doubt that he will get FAR better coaching at Wiskey than Bolls could give on his best day.
    Give the kid credit and wish him well except when playing tOSU.

  • We are headed for a BAD recruiting class. It's no guarantee that Kalis stays with us. He may leave too. Our OL is MAC good but not BCS worthy. We are in for a few bad years! Very disappointed with the stupidness of our coaching staff when it comes to OL recruiting.

    I disagree...qualify that!!!

    We have the best RB class in the country.

    We have an average star rating of 3.67...better than Michigan and everyone is on their jock about their recruiting.

    Recruiting is a marathon not a sprint.

  • Unless the race ends early and Dunn is not a lock by any means he is coming back to Michigan during the ND game with Dymonte. Kalis said in an article today that if fickel is gone he is too no questions asked. It could end good or bad with OSU current situation.

    I have a feeling if Fickell is not our HC its because of Urban Meyer. Urban Meyer and Luke Fickell are the top 2 choices.

  • Meyers is burnt out he will have no staying power at OSU he is a Type A and his candle is out.
    He should just sit back and get a ESPN job and go into cruise control and enjoy his life.

    It doesn't matter to me. Luke IMO is ready. IMO Urban Meyer is the only candidate that would be able to take the job away from Fickell. Either guy once signed, sealed, and delivered will be able to recruit like a demon.

    The 2013 is incredibly talented and we are loved by alot of OOS guys. If I were the Buckeyes I would sign 18 and roll the schollies over for 2013. If there was a way we could get 25 scholarships for 2013 it might go down as the best OSU class ever.

  • NEW STRATEGY!!!

    WR-
    OSU needs to extend offers to Monty Madaris & Dwayne Stanford (if not already offered). Go hard after both, especially Stanford (only helps our case w/Washington). Possibly talk to Amari Cooper & Herb Waters more. We got Drayton for a reason, we need to start using him!!!!! banghead

    OL-
    Chances of landing Pirsig, Diamond, Goodman & any other OOS kids are very slim. So we need to continue to stay after Dodson, cuz even said"its not over, till its over". We need to be up his ass 24/7, get him some more visits & maybe he will come back after August & our season turns out good. We also need to extend offers to Nick Davidson (osu legacy & can play tackle), Tony Matteo (can play RT, C, & hes starting to blow up!), & Adam Pankey. Davidson is starting to be looked at by alot of the top Midwest teams, Matteo is blowing up & Pankey is going on a visit to UW! Wisky sees something good in him, so get him an offer!!! Wisconsin produces GREAT OL every year, so you know Pankey is underrated! Offer these 3 NOW!!!! Also offer Taylor Decker, Zach Higgins & Benny McGowan, cuz after August we could possibly steal back one of these players, it also wouldnt hurt to extend offers!

    DL-
    Put full court press of Washington & Pittman. If we can get either Washington or Stanford, the other will recruit the other one. Pittman wants to play w/ former teammate Steve Miller, so make it happen. Extend an offer to Trae Clark. Clark is blowing up & he will be a stud (underrated player).

    LB- Put the full court press on Ifeadi Odenigbo! Have Mike Bennett continue to talk some sense into him!

    DB-
    Talk heavily to Bogard, TJ Davis, & Jordan Diggs. Extend offers to Bam Bradley, Jarrod Wilson, James Sanford! Demetrious Cox will come around, cuz i think he will committ when its all said & done. Diggs & Davis really like the Buckeyes.

    I wouldnt mind the following class:
    QB- Jones, HB- Dunn & Ball, WR- Stanford & Madaris, TE- Thomas, OL- Kalis Matteo Boren & Pankey, DL- Washington Pittman Clark, LB- Odenigbo Perry, DB- Bogard Cox Powell Murray
    then the possibility of Dodson, Higgins, & McGowan coming back to the Buckeyes.
    Would be a hell of a class despite the cloud hanging over Columbus!

  • mark off McMullen. He has committed to Nebraska!
    This class is falling apart though. THis great DL class is gradually dying!
    Washington- He is a toss up
    Pittman- MSU
    McMullen- Nebraska
    Lewis- Prolly Nebraska bound
    Strobel- Michigan
    Odenigbo- Stanford or ND
    UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

    Kalis will come back tho!!
    Pittman will give us another look after August!
    ^same w/ DOdson
    Bogard just committed to tOSU.
    I think we can stop w/ all the DB's now. We need OL!!
