NOT EVEN WORTH THE TIME TO RESPOND WHEN OUR YOUNG DEPTH IS JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN PSU. We have had numerous 4 and 5 stars come in the last 3 years...

There is a lot to like about Bell but it is very unlikely he'd start here as a freshman either.

It's hard to read that and think you're taking a shot at our LB depth, and coming from a PSU fan who still thinks his school is LB U, I'm sure it is. In this day and age in the upper echelon of college football, it is awfully hard for a true freshman to come in and start from the first game on, and he'd be hard pressed to come into a situation where he would be able to do that.
If he can beat out Tyler Moeller, Brian Rolle, and Jermale Hines to be the starter on the strongside in 2009, that's awesome, but nobody is banking on it. He won't be coming to Ohio State because there is a lack of depth, because we have never been this deep at LB in my lifetime. He'll be coming to Ohio State so he can win Big Ten and national championships... something he won't be able to do at Penn State for the forseeable future.

Well said.
That being said, I'd love for him to add to our depth.

OSU/PSU LB Depth (split from Dorian Bell thread)
Cool...all those 4-star guys can help keep Penn State from getting an in-state, 5-star, probable top 3 LB recruit in the nation...while Ohio State having a couple fewer guys in the pipeline (all of similar 'star' quality, except for Sabino...he's a step up from PSU's guys) and 3 senior starters this year can give the Bucks a leg up in Bell's recruitment.
I'll friggen take it.
If the Bucks LBs in 2010 looks like...
Homan, Rolle, Moeller, Hines, Sabino, Sweat, Klein, Whiting, Bell and whoever else from this year...uh, ya I'll probably take that over whatever the Nits will be trotting out there.

Two things that stick out in that one: 1) He neither confirms nor denies a commitment this weekend 2) He says #1 is being saved for him.
