Soooo key that Dymonte was there. Have been hearing positive things about this recruitment from Shane Morris as well!

Man, the bucknuts sure are setting themselves up for disappointment. And 20 carries/game, who are you kidding?

You just went 6-6 and you're talking about national titles?

You have no idea what you're in for. Good luck.

I should say 15-20 carries since it is the trend for most teams to use two or three running backs and in Myers system. Richardson from Alabama and Ball from Wisconsin averaged 21 carries per game and Fitzgerald Toussaint 14. Also how many games did a Michigan back get at least 20 carries? Furthermore, when you think about the kind of kids that are interested in OSU since Urban became coach and future recruiting bonanza's a NC title is a strong possibility. The mistake that Hoke and Rich Rod made is that you can not beat the SEC and compete nationally with just Midwest kids from Michigan and Ohio, Tressel like Urban Myer said was evolving his team to look like a SEC team with speedy athletes that came from all over the country. That team that beat Arkanas was fast! Michigan is OSU north because of recruits from Ohio but how many of those kids have a chance of playing pro? Michigan has to get quality recruits from OSU every year not just quantity like Bo did. Yes, they got Kalis, Wormley and may even get Dunn but this will be the exception not the rule. Wormley to me is the most valuable of the three. In 2013 I see the top recruits in Ohio staying with OSU and the future.

With a experienced coach maybe one lose this year with a mediocre team in a mediocre Big Ten. Fickell is a good guy but was not ready for prime time. Osu's whole LB core was hurt the Michigan game and in a normal year would have blowout. You can be delusional about the potential of Braxton Miller and Urban Myers but in you heart you know they will make magic if he can get a few more play makers and speed at DE and LB.

Losing Dymonte will not hurt the OSU class of 2013. Great DB's will be coming from all over the country. I think this kid should refrain from some of things he he is saying about OSU. Okay to be pro team but players should stay classy.

Not sure if serious...

This post is hilarious.

Greg Mattison was the DC for the 2006 BCS MNC UF team and helped build the 2008 BCS MNC UF team before leaving for the NFL. Mattison, along with Borges, knows what a SEC team looks like on both offense and defense.

Mattison has every intention of building a SEC-like defense. What remains to be seen is if he wants to build a Alabama-like defense or a LSU-like defense.

And as I understand it, Borges is interested in implementing a Stanford-like offense...essentially a GCO with 2 TE sets mixed in.

I heard Urban earlier in the season when He called a game that OSU's Offense looked and was too slow. I noted it and filed it under watch and see. I have been watching who and where he is recruiting and I think I will agree with you on this point because he is definitely looking to speed this team up in a hurry IMHO from what I am reading on the recruiting trail as well as speed up the Dline. Now considering that it was the 1-2 game that he called I am inclined to say that the team still basically had a "Tressel" mentality and he wasn't impressed to say the least. He seems to be content with the rest of the defense recruiting class but is pushing hard on Dline. On Offense He is recruiting every position but RB, FB, and TE which we appear to be set with right now any way for a year. He is still recruiting big o and D linemen but is putting way more focus on "athletism" of the big guys. Again IMHO

You are also aware that Greg M was the DC at Florida when LLoyd beat them with RR influence incorporating some of the spread for that game during practice right?

I do it because I enjoy it.
