    Kiffin and co. are treating it as a marathon, not a sprint so there won't be the waves of recruits you see with Michigan, Texas, etc.

    Right now we are targeting kids outside of California and fill out some spots there e.g. Bigelow and Browne. A couple of Cali DB's should commit over the summer and hopefully Priest Willis from AZ as well. I would expect fewer than half of our available recruits commits before November and have another strong close either shortly prior to NSD or during.

    We are hamstrung of course, but it's the 75 total scholarships that hurt more than the 15 per year we're allotted.

    tOSU has been quieter than usual although you got a new TE from my neck of the woods, congrats. How are the Buckeyes looking?

    ehh so so. We locked up the top 3 in OH, but its been kind of chugging along since. After the way Meyer finished last year, many in OH were thinking we might be able to land the #1 class in the nation. Doesn't look like thats going to happen right now. Can't complain we've got a few studs lined up, and eight months still to go so we'll see. Jalin Marshall is special. If we can beat out ND for Jaylon Smith we could really get something going.

    It looks like Meyer is gonna recruit nationally potentially turning off some Ohio kids you would normally get. What position is Marshall gonna play? QB? He looks pretty small, although Troy Smith was about the same height, but thicker. I think it was you who was more of a Tressel guy, what do you think of Meyer's scheme in the B1G? I could see it working great, but I can also see it failing miserably going after smaller athletes with top speed. And whoever gets Jaylon will be very happy. I like that kid's make up a lot. It's a shame he probably isn't looking to go west...

    Marshall will play wr or rb. He's a playmaker, I watched a couple of his HS games last year and he's an animal. The spread will work fine in the B1G. The problem the coaches had trying the spread in this conference was that they ignored defense. RichRod could score points, and Urban is going to recruit much better athletes than Rich did. I think we trail for Jaylon Smith(Even though his brother plays for us), and I think we're out of the Robert Foster running but not for the reasons that are being reported. So we'll see how Urban finishes.

    I am a Tressel guy. I think if he'd put together a better staff he could have done some special things. Also, last year was supposed to be Pryor's senior year, I think if none of that ish happened we would have played for a title last year. If Tress had won a second title he could have been a legend. He just didn't have a huge sense of urgency because he never planned on leaving OSU, and thought he had 10-15 years to build his legacy.

    Tressel really was a great guy who made a poor decision. A friend of mine has a nephew who had been battling life threatning cancer. Both him and his brother were season ticket holders. Somehow(Nobody knows how) Tress heard about the kid. Out of the blue he just showed up at the hospital to see him. He didn't stop there, he called or stopped by every week till the kid kicked the cancer. This went on for over a year, and they're still in touch. You couldn't imagine what this meant to the kid. I think Tress got a raw deal. He fucked up for sure, but I think his good deeds far outweigh his errors, I wish we had told the ncaa to shove it and stuck by him. Take a look at what Oregon did. Look at Miami. Those schools did far worse shit, just there wasn't the media firestorm. Our kids traded their own personal property for tattoos and weed, and Tress didn't report it. Big freaking deal, that is some petty shit IMO.

    Morons on BOL who live in bomb shelters & think everything has a conspiracy behind it. For example, a guy yesterday (these were his 3rd. 4th & 5th posts ever btw) was talking about how bad Reuben Foster transferring to Auburn High School was because they could fudge his records and not allow him to graduate since he's committed to Bama, and therefore delaying his enrollment by a year.

    I replied back "i'm guessing you or of Mayan descent" lol
