Why in God's name do kids with opportunities like this do such stupid crap?

Good question. Maybe they think no one can touch them. In any case we have had a case or two like this.

A wasted opportunity for mr. Jarboe. On a selfish level, this is another guy that OSU had an offer out to for along time, had offers from a bunch of top programs, and most anyone would have loved to signed. It is a blessing that he didn't committ to us. After a few years of some bad luck, it seems that lately we have been fortunate with some of the big fish that got away, only to get themselves in trouble elsewhere. The PSU linebacker comes to mind.

It's been a recurring theme throughout the Tressel era and it's not new, it's been around since 2003 or so. Seems like when we lose a recruit we often come out winners under Tressel.

We offered Jarboe pretty early on and then backed off. I bet we did some digging and found what we needed to know. My speculation, fwiw.

Shocking news really. We lucked out not having this kid.

Since the Louis Irizarry problems we have stayed away from a major wreck. While you may just be speculating BGriff, It has to be more than coincidence that the staff has repeatedly dodged situations with recruits that later had either criminal or major academic problems. The media may never give us credit, but coach Tressel has shown that we can bring in good people,good student athletes, and still compete at the highest level. Because of this, I am very proud of the Bucks. Not as easy of a thing to say right now if you are a fan of PSU or FSU, for example. Keep bringing the insight BGriff.

Ouch.

Yet Jarboe isn’t shy about talking about guns in a crude video that was posted on the Oklahoma fan site Reddirtkings.com after showing up on YouTube earlier this month. In it, Jarboe, who is sporting red and black dreadlocks, freestyle raps about shooting people and having sex.

Now, I'm no rapper. In fact, I think they are either a bunch of thugs or poseurs, but....

that rap is weak

wow

I wonder if Jarboe has a legal case against OU.

[methomps]

Doubtful.

Oklahoma has already used the schollie that was freed up to grab Jarvis Jones, an OL from LSU.
