Could this be the best class ever?

Recruiting-wise? Sure thing....in fact, eventually people will realize that Ntre Ame's "amazing" class won't be anything without proper coaching. It'll take a few years, but people will see it.....

However, we aren't Ntre Ame, so it's all about what happens on the field right?

I know it's not about Sabino per se, but I have to react to all the stupid BS that ESPN is saying and writing in reaction to this verbal.

Florida may have had a speed advantage in some of the matchups on the field in the NC game, but neither team had an overall speed advantage. Rather, there was a huge gap in execution. Teams that execute well look like they're playing the game at a greater speed. The only people who think that wasn't the case are morons or people who are pushing an agenda.

I can't see him leaving the South...I give the Buckeyes less than 1% chance.

Sorry to continue this non-Sabino recuit ranking talk but....

Who exactly is ranking these recruits? Coaches? Nope, self-appointed experts who could not have possibly seen them all. A Lemming 5* is a Tressel 2* and vice versa. I'll stick with JT, he seems to know what he is doing.

This is crazy.....apparently this guy committing to Ohio State has gotten the people at my wife's office buzzing about Ohio State NEXT year...

damn....it's great to be a Buckeye right now

[buckeyes_rock]

If JT is able to develop 2 star prospects into superstars...I can't help but get pretty darn excited about what he'll do with a whole class full of 4 and 5 stars!!! I'm trying not to get ahead of myself, but...oh the possibilities.

Now back to Sabino...welcome to tOSU!!!!

Round and round we go, jack

I feel very bad for both Sabino and Howard. As we all know, the moment they sign a LOI with the Buckeyes, their 40 times will go up by about .2

I thought since we are in the north they would go down .2

It's amazing to think of the kids JT has been able to pull out of Florida so far.

Excellent point!! JT has owned Llllloyd since he showed up now let's see him own the rest of the country and make this Buckeye Dynasty as long lasting as COLLEGE FOOTBALL HAS EVER SEEN!!!

Other than his desire to get away from FL

No.

Some one left this comment for the ESPN article, sums up my feelings pretty well:

for the love of god stop with this speed talk...tOSU puts more people in the NFL than anyone....they usually don't throw millions at slow people
yes, they were slaughtered by Florida but it wasn't because of a lack of speed....Florida was a talented team who was hungry for respect while tOSU got fat and happy on the banquet circuit and didn't play to their potential.
tOSU was out schemed, out hustled, out played, out coached etc. by a better team that day, but it wasn't because of a lack of speed. The NFL has weighed in and likes the Buckeyes speed just fine....ask Mel about the speed on this team.....ask Miami about our 2002 team speed.
Besides Sabino is from NY originally, did he get faster when he moved to Florida? you guys are so ridiculous with this speed talk...you are supposed to be experts, please act like it

ESPNU continues to set the bar as low as possible.
