'06 FL RB Kylan Robinson (Miami verbal)

[jwinslow]

if a top-100 player wants to come to OSU... they will take him. there seems to be a possibillity that some of the schollies will be banked anyway... and we can always develop a walk-on FB

Well what if Wells were to blow up and only stay 3 years. Where would that leave us after that.

I know there are studs out there next year and they will probably take 2, but if we can get Robinson we will take him, if not we bank the rb for next year.

I gotta believe that he gets the Miami offer that he is looking for now...

possibly so. however, miami has javaris james in the fold already, and they are hosting 4 rb's with offers on official visits this weekend. they could very well get at least one commit maybe more from that group. i wouldnt think that they would want more than 2 rb's in one class, but that's just speculation on my part.

They didn't get any last year.

why do you say that? i doubt they're gonna offer him just because some recruiting service placed him in their top 100. maybe they offer based on talent they see but if any school gives out offers based on scout or rivals recruiting rankings then they've got issues.

Well recruiting rankings aren't just made up out of thin air. If the kid is good enough to get into the top 100, there is a reason for it.

Actually being moved into the top 100 equals more pub for a player, and a lot of times makes teams take notice. I'm not just talking Miami either. I bet he has a lot of teams take notice now. Not saying that they will offer now, but this can't hurt him in Miami's or the other teams' eyes.

Robinson says Ohio State is his leader but if Miami(FL) offers they would be the leader by a wide margin. Miami(FL) made contact recently.

Well lets hope that they get a couple back this weekend and discontinue that contact.

1 -- no school is going to offer because a kid moved into the Top 100. That's rediculous to even think that.

2 -- Miami has known about him before this Top 100 ranking anyways.

Miami's current depth at HB/FB

HB
Tyrone Moss, JR
Charlie Jones, SO
Andrew Johnson, SO
Derron Thomas, FR
George Timmons, FR


FB
Quadtrine Hill, SR
James Bryant, SO
Jerrell Mabry, FR

HB or FB?
Jean Volcy, SO
---------------

With one in the bag already for this class and supposedly 4 recruits with offers visiting Miami this weekend, they're sitting pretty as far as the RB position is concerned. Three blue chips returning next year, 2 froshs behind them, plus whatever they get in this upcoming class. That is DEPTH!

Well that first one could go either way. If a kid moves up into the top 100 who they have not heard of b/c he has been that far under the radar well then they could offer him. If they have already seen film and did not like what they saw and then he moves up then they probably still won't offer him based on the move.

However, in the Rivals' article, there is no mention of his playing any other positions, and he states that he wants to play RB in college (and the NFL). So, looks like RB all the way....

EDIT: Actually, Scout does have Kylan listed, except that they have him residing in Anchorage, Alaska, which is apparently where he lived before moving to Tampa.

Rivals now has him #13 RB, #95 in their Top 100

Man I wish the Bucks had depth like that! Some other position must suffer though
