That actually makes some sense from OSU's perspective, but it also runs the risk of alienating the kid being recruited. To what extent do you want the kid to feint interest? Do you make him take an official to A2? At what point does all this become counter productive?

Granted I don't know much about Meyer's recruiting history at Florida, so again maybe I'm naive about this. But it sure seems strange that Meyer would go to such lengths, because I'd think that somebody who does wouldn't be even moderately successful.

The difference was Mags was being harassed constantly by grown men through Facebook and Twitter. I agree, our fan bases are both rabid though.

But eric magnuson never said osu was in his top 4. Nor did he ever incline that osu had a chance at landing his signature. Correct me if i'm wrong.

That kind of logic only makes sense at Bucknuts, so don't bring that here. There wasn't any outrage with the 'herpes' tweet itself, the issue here is whether Bosa's interest is genuine.

A couple points:

1. This more about pleasing the fan base and alumni than swaying recruits. Urban's been to the top of the SEC, and knows that the slightest sign that you are falling behind rivals will bring the heat.

2. Michigan's own recruits (Pipkins and Kalis, for example) were more than happy to play up the rivalry and take shots of Ohio.

The bottom line is this: Bosa comes into his Ohio visit as virtually a legacy, and everyone is well aware that Ohio is in good standing. While wrapping up his Ohio visit, he tweets something about going to "that school up north". After his visit he retweets something from a Buckeye fan about everyone in Ann Arbor having herpes, then says his recruiting will probably come down to Ohio and Michigan.

Its far more likely that he is a huge OSU lean who is playing some gamesmanship at Meyer's request than he actually has Michigan as his #2.

100% agree. Some adults need a life. This stuff should be fun.

Bosa's mother went to Ohio State and his uncle played at Ohio State.

I think you guys have a better shot then you think, this isnt a JFK cover up.

Not that it needs to be fun, but they need to make a decision for themselves and having a bunch of grown men constantly send them messages does not make the process any easier, it actually causes the recruiting process to become hectic and become a burden to the recruit.

People need to understand that the recruit really doesn't care about what you think, it's his life decision and your opinion couldn't mean less.

I meant fun for us as fans. Leaving the young ones out of it!

Billy Price just tweeted in support of Joey Bosa...LOFL. Urfban wants to create a maelstrom, us aginst tghem, let him. Sarah hughes, future 247Mod and writer, said it best #Michiganway. Man we are arrogant and deservedly so
