The Blue Board

someone needs their diaper changed..... " Corch Urbs doing work son"

Higher ranked on paper probably. Urbz high ranked classes don't always pan out the way they should though.

Hoke is great recruiter, Urbz is better I have no shame in admitting that.

Luckily recruiting isn't the only thing that matters. Development, toughness, work ethic, character all come into play. Should be interesting down the line.

looking forward to November, we owe you one.

They both are getting the guys they want for the most part, so recruiting becomes more about the evaluation than the actual recruiting aspect.

IMO he is building in the Tress mold

Speaking of "development" that is the biggest improvement I see on the defense side for you guys. Just look what Mattison has done in his first year alone. Not sure about the "O". Do you see you guys scoring less with the new style offense. I'm thinking the score for "The Game" will no longer be in the high 30-40 points per team. More like last years score.

I think this is more accurate - we'll be seeing scores in the 20s. I think there'll be a lot more emphasis on ball and clock control in the pro-style offense, and like you said, Mattison has ramped up our D, so we'll definitely be looking at lower-scoring games. While I think we could still hold our own in shootouts, that's not the game we're looking to play.

Per a source close to Marshall: “His commitment to Ohio State was more of a heat-of-the-moment decision and wasn't discussed with everyone... He has plenty of time to make a decision and there’s no need to rush his recruiting process. It wasn't just his conversation with Coach Dantonio that made him decommit but I know whatever him and Dantonio talked about gave him a lot to think about.”

Something tells me it was more the UM trip then the MSU trip.

List comes out after Spring Ball, I'll update.

What classes has Urb ever had that didn't pan out? Obviously he's had some players not pan out, but just look at all the players he recruited at Florida that were first round draft picks. There will be a few more this year with Shariff Floyd, Matt Elam, etc. I mean, has Hoke ever even coaches a first rounder? Hoke is still very unproven with his recruiting classes panning out.

And no, Hoke is not building a team in the "Bama" mold. It's more like Wisconsin. Bama has elite athletes all over the field at the skill positions. I know Derrick Green is a good RB, but you're still lacking skill position players. I'm sure a few of your receiver recruits will end up being good players, but Bama loads up on those kids every year. And if they don't contribute, they most likely transfer. Then more come in next year and replace them

To be honest Ohio State could do A LOT better then Marshall IMO.

No biggie

So Meyer gets a pass for players leaving early, or kicked off (Saban loses guys never falls off), but Hoke doesn't get a pass for Rich Rod massacre he inherited. Figures

Hoke went 6-2 in the B1G this year. Meyer went 4-4 in the SEC lol.

Even more lolololololololol

Meyer lost to 9-5 USC, 10-4 FSU, 9-4 MSU, 10-3 Bama, and 11-2 LSU. 18 combined losses.

Hoke lost to 12-0 tOSU, 13-1 Alabama, 12-1 ND, 11-2 USC, and 10-4 NEB. 8 combined losses.

You have your head so far up your butt.
