Or you could call Corey and let us know what he says...
Give me a DL class of Simon, Muldoon, Newsome, Carradine and Fellows and I will be ecstatic. No need to cast the net any wider...they can take their time evaluating the other DE spot if Carradine doesn't pan out.

Agreed...Unless Corey says he wants to come and expresses high interest, it is a lot harder and more resources to recruit one kid clear across the country... |

I would be very happy with that class since we got 2 true DT's in Goebel and Rowell in '08. However, if we can get Corey at DT I would be a much happier camper. I am the computerbuck of DT's I do believe, mostly because I think our ineffective recruiting of DT's has hurt us lately. I really would like to see 2 true DT's in this class if possible. Maybe I'm an optimist but it seems as if OSU is in pretty decent shape with Corey.

I agree.. DTs and Oline (until the last couple yrs) have been positions we just arent recruiting well enough.. No offense to the 4 kids we have coming back, but none of them really project as legit top tier DTs..
I liked the three from last season and John Simon.. but there are questions whether 3 of those 4 guys can put on the weight to be bigtime DTs.. alot of people think Simon, Mobley, and Goebel are DE/DT types.. which is fine, but i would like some more monsters in the middle.. legit 300-310, athletic, run stuffing type DTs... Rowell is definately one guy..
And Corey Adams would be another.. he is an explosive big man.. the type that causes all type of havoc for an offense..
It bothers me that based on his update, we dont seem to be recruiting him all that hard... i know he's a west coast guy, but the kid did grow up and OSU fan.. it's kinda wierd we arent going really hard after him given its a real position of need..
Reminds me a little of ODowd.. that kid seemed to really be interested in OSU, but we werent returning the love..

Goebel will put the weight back on once he's done wrestling. And Simon has a little bit of time to grow.
Is Adams really that big, 310 lb. guy you're looking for? I don't see him being bigger than Goebel or Rowell.

For whatever reason this staff isn't too fond of the heavy DTs...They want quick guys that use their hands well and get good leverage...
Insert, Denlinger, Larimore, Anderson, Goebell as guys like that...They also like guys that can play inside and out...
Also guys that some are looking for are very hard to come by and there are maybe 5 or 6 a year in college football...

I agree, that does not seem like the big guy people are seeking. He's even being moved outside this year on his HS team... that's not to say he won't play inside and get big in college, but I don't see him being a big space-eater type DT. | |
