Well, that just might be that...
WE DON'T NEED A QB BEFORE WE GET A LINE THAT CAN PROTECT HIM

Clemons QB did them no favors though.

I'll give you credit for rooting for conference but no way do I give a rival in the conference a cheer. Wow.

I am sure they do Ted. What I do know is that over the years I have read numerous people say they would NEVER root for Michigan.

Not sure where to post this, but I feel sorry for DC. OSU just flipped Marylands best recruit and they're going after their 2nd best in Dwayne Haskins

Former Brown C, Dave Wohlabaugh's son Jack (OG) signed with OSU today. I read that Harbaugh wanted him at UM.

How do you sign the #1 overall prospect, and then drop in the rankings?
Am I the only one that pronounces hyperbole "Hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bo-le"?

2016 was a REALLY good class overall. Probably a top 5 finish. Next years will probably be #1 and insanely stacked.
Just looked it up:
#2 Scout, #3 Rivals, #4 247 and #5 ESPN. Consensus # 1 in BIG.

Wish list for next year:
1. DTs
2. Trevon Grimes
3. Jeffrey Okudah
4. Donovan People's Jones
5. Isaiah Wilson
Also, obviously keep who we have now.

What do you know about the two DT's? They fit the scheme we have run under Meyer. Michael Hill will be the run clogging kinda nose tackle we need. Sprinkle is more of the pass rusher, like an Aldophus Washington or Michael Bennett. If Sprinkle doesn't start, watch out for Jashon Cornell who's a 5 star thoroughbred stud. We want our defensive line to be the pass rushers and our LBs to be physical and stop the run. We rarely blitz or use confusion. It makes it easier.

No problem! As I've said before next year's team will be very, very talented. It will be one of the most athletic teams we've ever seen at OSU, but their will be some headaches. Don't be shocked at miscues such as turnovers and penalties. JT will be slinging the rock around because he has a TON of 4 and 5 star studs at WR. I really want to see Parris Campbell and Noah Brown who is 240 lbs of pure muscle. Torrance Gibson was ranked the #1 athlete coming out of high school and he's also playing WR at 6'5.

He has practiced at WR, but he was a former QB recruit and I've heard people mention TE. For some perspective our 3rd and 4th string tight ends are the #3 and #4 tight end prospects in high school last year. We're freaking loaded

This is the culture Urban has created. It's similar to what Bill Belicheck created. Add a TON of talent to create competition. Bring out the best in players and force them to do the little things that help teams win games. If you don't want to do that, you're on the bench because you're backup is just as talented but more hungry.

Does Meyer still recruit mostly criminals like he did at Florida?
