Mad Cow 1,412 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Yeah, really surprising given the other 2 classmates of his are enrolled already. 247 is showing 100% Nebraska right now.

Can't believe the Buckeye's secondary has been the equivalent of the Kentucky basketball program over the last two years. Everyone gets some playing time and then bolts for the draft! 6 DBs in 2 years!! Talk about Reloading!! Edited January 11, 2017 by Peak updated with link Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ZenMaster 690 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I was in Ohio over the weekend visiting my dad and got to do something pretty awesome. My dad's side gig is selling various sports collectibles/memorabilia, mostly focused on autographed OSU items but he has some other stuff as well. There was a show at the Expo Center this weekend and I got to be the 'I' in O-H-I-O with Archie Griffin, Eddie George, and Troy Smith. My dad was also able to get the picture signed by each of them afterwards. Archie brought his Heisman Trophy and it's in the picture too. I also brought home a Raiders helmet autographed by Bo Jackson. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A Braxton Miller, a Zeke Elliott and the one with the 4 Heisman winners. Love them, So far, I am impressed with this Select 17 as they are calling the class. JK Dobbins looks like he could be the next great thing. I know how Urban loves the H-back, but I am imagining a backfield that features Dobbins and McCall and that would be electric. Throw in a running QB that can pass. . . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Cow 1,412 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Thoughts on OSU offering Elijah Gardiner this weekend? Huge 6'5" WR that was committed to Missouri. 3 star prospect that seems awfully down on the rankings. But after his official visit this weekend, he has a scholarship offer. Interesting, I suppose. Going to be a very interesting Wednesday for signing day. Still thinking it is possible they grab Marvin with all of the encouragement from Browning, Okudah and Dobbins.

Mad Cow 1,412 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 And it is official, he has flipped and committed to tOSU. Very tall class of WR's. Grimes 6-3, Harris 6-4, Gardiner 6-5. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xulf 2,416 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 His athletic measurables are crazy good. May be a little bit of a project, but it looks like we aren't going for the Percy Harvin types as hard and we are getting some BIG playmakers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Interestingly, though, we certainly do have a few of those types in McCall and Dobbins. Smaller RBs with ball skills and speed. I can see Dobbins putting on weight and being amazing, though.

Bobcat10 1,978 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Totally forgot we still had Nuernberger another year, seems like ages ago he was the guy, but hopefully Haubeil wins the job. Pretty cool he's going to pay his own way at the beginning too. Quote Nuernberger is back for his senior season in 2017 and the early indications are that Haubeil will pay his own way fall semester and be put on scholarship next spring. Still, he intends to compete for the job right away — there is a reason Ohio State pursued him so heavily. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Cow 1,412 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) 2018 class could eclipse the monster 2017 class. Crazy. Jones, Snead and Woodbey all committed. That's 2 5 stars and 1 4. Jackson Carmen is almost a given and is the #1 O line prospect in the country, huge LT guy. RB Gill should be a Buckeye. A ton of other 5 and 4 stars heavily favored. Crazy. Woodbey committed last week and has said he has shut down recruitment. Says 100% Buckeye come next year, despite USC's best efforts.

Uncle of that punter graduated with me in 1990. What Gill plays seems interesting. It is projected that he would have a higher ceiling as a WR than RB given his lack of bulk and height.
