I think Jake Butt is ours to lose. I remember seeing a quote from him not to long ago saying Michigan was his leader and it was a wide margin to #2 as well.
I am sure an Ohio offer would lessen the gap, but I think you guys are just to late at this point.

You could be right, Very easily could be right. You guys will benifit with are low number of schollies this year and the fact we arent going to offer as many kids from Ohio.

I never said we lead for any of those kids. Those are just guys we want. With that said its my fault for not clarifing that in the poston. I put an explenation next to the kids we lead for or have a great shot at.

Well you answered a question about guys who have OSU in their top group. You gave a bunch of guys who do NOT have OSU in their top group. Your OL group is laughable as is Isaac.
btw, quote from Jake Butt: "Michigan is definitely my leading school right now, by far... and it's not even close". When asked if an Ohio State offer would change his mind: "Probably not. I'd consider them along with Stanford, Northwestern, and Maryland but they'd still have a lot of work to do".

IIRC, I heard Duane Long say y'all are looking at 22-25 again next year, what makes you think it'll be a small class?

Urban is not God but from what i have seen in the last 3 months you can never count him out. Look im sure we are going to loose alot of kids we want. Im pretty sure we dont get half the list I posted. The differance with Urban compared to JT is he casts a big net and always has option a,b,c, and d. JT was a very good recruiter but somtime put all his eggs in 1 basket. I actually think UM will denifit from Urban I think we start only taking 8-12 kids from Ohio and the rest will be OOS kids. I think Michigan will get alot of kids from Ohio becouse we dont even offer.

Cool story bro so why did you lose on Diggs? You were one of four and didn't make the cut.

Your right I made a mistake, I answered a questions without clarifying that. I stated I thought Isaac was a UM lean but that was just my gut feeling in another post. Isaac has visited and has said good things about OSU. I think OSU ends up in his top 3 but doesnt close the deal again thats just my guy feeling. I dont think its laughable to say we have a good chance. Butt doesn't have an offer from OSU. well see if/when he gets one what he says.

Number of Seniors / 3 year guys with NFL talent isnt there for that large of a class. Plus are scholly deduction.

Wanted to stay close to home. Big loss for us. Im not saying we are going to get everyone we want. Im just saying you cant count out Urban. Are saving grace is j.Mashal for 2013. He may be a better fit for are Scat back then Diggs but still a big loss for us.

Why are we being so hostile toward this guy? He may be a little over optimistic, but he's been completely respectful and just wants to discuss the recruits. Not hero worshipping Meyer to the same extent as some other OSU fans, either. Just confident in his recruiting abilities, which seems fair. I do think we get Butt and don't think OSU is a player for Isaac, but thats's why we discuss these things.

Yeah, Marshal will be a good player. Still relieved Diggs isn't headed to Ohio, though. You guys will get good athlete to run meyer's offense, of course, but he longer it takes the better. Glad we've got great defensive talent coming in to shut your guys down.

Agree. Hubert has been a good poster so far.

Yeah, I would be excited for my new coach too. Hoke and Mattison have been great recruiters so I trust them with every recruit and I think they can get the big fish this year. Every recruit, whether they've committed or not, has said how much they've loved our coaches.

I don't think we have been exactly hostile to him. I expressed my opinion that I think he is giving Meyer too much credit for his recruiting abilities. Am I not allowed to express my opinion about that when we are discussing Ohio state's recruiting? I think him including Tunsil and LTT in his list for Ohio State recruits and saying you can't count out Meyer is giving Meyer too much credit. That is my opinion and I believe I can express that opinion here. I did not call Huburt names, did not tell him to leave or anything of that nature.

I was speaking more to the general tone of the thread. I don't think you were hostile.

I've pretty much agreed with everything you've said, I'm shocked. I think you hit the nail on the head with Urbs future classes. I'd be surprised if tOSU future classes consist of more than 8-10 Ohio kids. I've talked to a guy who coaches Bivins and the coach is a HUGE ND fan as is Bivins. He also visits college campuses with Bivins and will be pretty surprised if Bivins ends up anywhere else. I'm more confident in Bivins attending ND than Bosch and I'm pretty confident with Bosch.

If I came off as hostile, I apologize, I wasn't trying to sound like an ass.

UM has been on Butt early and often, I give your staff props. Like you said I think anyone else that steps up with an offer tOSU/ND will be late for the party.

I think the 22-25 is based off of Urbs cleaning house, which is already taking place. How many more players must leave to have your roster reach the 82 limit and when does the roster have to be at 82?

Because that's MichealHardnells style. Why have actual discussion when you can attack a rival, makes no sense.
