Definitely upset he never considered us, although maybe losing a real battle for him would have been worse. He's got extreme talent.

Smith is crazy good

very happy about this.

Mitchell going to Ohio. Must be in need of some tats.

Green's stats from the game, according to Scout: 8 carries, 49 yards, good for 6.1 ypc. Henry had 53 yards on 10 carries, which is weird to me bc I felt like Jenry was used wayyy more than Green, but apparently not.

The 2 LB's were great pickups, but Quick was the one I least wanted to see honestly. Vonn Bell would make for an amazing secondary haul, even the way it is it's good... so glad Michigan's future is run-first lol.

Agreed....I was more worried about Quick then their LB's they just got, plus that is a negative recruiting aspect for the 2014 LB's they are recruiting.

WTF do you think you're trying to pull here? Buckeye sources were crowing about Quick for months, you liar. GTFO of here with your bullshit.

I don't like this notion that recruiting battles are like a game. As if the coaches are in a head to head sprint and that the kid is standing at the finish line with his hands out seeing which coach gets there first. Sure, you want the best talent at your school, but you also want young men who WANT to go to your school. I'm happy for these recruits, they are getting a great opportunity, regardless of which school it is. Quick decides to stay home, go to a school that has tradition in his family, two things that seem to mean a lot to him. Hell, if I were able to tell him my personal opinion, I'd have told him to stay in state and go to UL.

I went to high school with Dymonte Thomas (though I'm a tad older), but I never give him grief for going to UM, even being a life OSU fan as myself. He never had the passion to go down to Columbus. He visited Michigan and liked it a lot. That's great, I couldn't be happier for the kid. And even if he sacks JT Barrett in 3 years to win The Game, I won't hold a personal grudge against him. In fact I'd be glad he saw an opportunity and capitalized it.

There's bigger things at play in these college decisions than X's and O's. I hope all college football fans, as well as the kids themselves, realize this. No need to trivialize a life decision. Sorry for my rant, I'm not sure if this was the correct place for it, but I see these type of posts by every fan base (my own most often to be honest :p).

I realize Mitch Again could be being sarcastic and mocking irrational Buckeye fans, but my point could be applied regardless.

Well if you go to Bucknuts before Quick announced you will see that I didn't buy into the "sources" and he would end up in Louisville. His dad went there, his sister goes there, it's his home...can't fault a kid for that.

Don't get me wrong, I would loved to have him, although we need the LB's much more right now. We had a FB starting at MLB for cryin out loud. I can't remember a time in my 48 years that OSU had such terrible depth at LB. We still have 2 or 3 other WR's or Slot players in this class so the LB pick up was huge.

But I get ya. I know a lot of Bucks were calling Quick a lock. They are still waiting on Shariff Floyd to enroll too though....
