It appears to me that all of the threads have an inkling of truth to them. Sarcasm included.....However, one fellow, difference maker or not, makes MORE of a difference when the number of schollies are severely constrained (like
OSU's were two weeks ago). Add to that a whiz-bang sophomore, two freshmen, a potential rb, plus a junior rb, and there's really no need to utilize a pick on a rb, this year.
Tress & crew has gotta be real careful on their offers. They've always been more picky than most, and if they knew what they know now about the three schollie transfers, then they might have offered McGuffie.
If there was ANY doubt in their mind, then remember the old addage:
" if you make a mistake on a recruit, and he accepts, you have to see him every day. If you make a mistake and don't offer him, you only have to see him once a year" --John Cooper
Guys, we have five running backs in the stable, all of which can take it to the house.
OSU has always been a 'big' back place anyway. Let's move on.
(and forgive me for quoting Coop - but he is right on this)
