I havent heard a date yet, so for all I know it could happen fairly soon or all the way til NSD. From my perspective the longer the kid takes the more unsure I become that he would join the Buckeyes. It seems most Buckeye fans (myself included) and our recruiting guys seem to think he is a Buckeye eventually. Now maybe they know something I dont or we just really dont want to think about missing out on our last "big" O line recruit. If he decides to go elsewhere, then we could probably start to call our o line haul fairly weak. Yeah if I was Hoke, I would have made room too, not only is he really good but the effect it would have on your rivals would be strongly felt. I wouldnt want to imagine the meltdown...I hope its a wait and see attitude and that they end up liking what they see. For me, I'll say a lil prayer we land Pocic and start looking to see what the '14 o line kids are looking like-

Say again.

I agree with much of what you wrote, but not the part about this simply being a comparison to UM. You also lost out on Bvin and McGovern to ND. To be honest, that was a shocker to me. If you miss on Pocic, you will have whiffed on all of the top OL on your board this year. Lisle and Lazard might work out just fine, but they were not your first choices.

Does anyone know if Michigan pulled his offer? I assume no. The OL we got were ready to commit. Pocic needed/needs more time. I totally doubt Hoke would tell Pocic, No. Like last year we moved on while Pocic insists on waiting. Should the mutual interest cross paths later(its only April). He can still be Blue

What I have read from multiple sites, including our buddy Tom, is that Pocic was informed there wasn't a scholarship available for him anymore because we are full at OL.

I understand that many recruiting sites have Pocic rated highly, but I don't see any other way the staff could have handled the situation. We don't really have much room in this class for "extra's" and with 5 OLs already committed... Pocic is an extra right now.

Solid pick up. He had some very nice offers.

I wouldn't say it rivals ours, but it's certainly a great haul.

This. Theirs is good, ours is elite.

I remember reading an interview in which Montelus had some good things to say about Michigan; I thought there was a pretty good chance he would commit after he took a visit here.

Then that one mid-February weekend happened, and he was out of a spot.

Damn, beaten to it.

Wow, he just named Ohio the leader a few weeks ago. I bet the guys on bucknuts are bashing the hell out of him now.

It was apparent that McGovern's first choice was Michigan but we were full by then. The offers don't really matter because Michigan was full by the time four out of those five guys decided. Of course an ND fan wouldn't take Michigan's O-line pull because anyone is going to like the kids that commit to their school over other recruits, me included. ND also has a problem with not having the balance of interior lineman. They'll most likely have to play a 6-6 kid at OG and that is a tough transition no matter the talent. I said it was a very good pull by ND, and it is. The objective information suggests that Michigan's is preferable.
