RB Ezekiel Elliott (All B1G, All-American, National Champion, Pro Bowl, All Pro, Dallas Cowboys)

He will.come in and compete from day one. We do not have anyone with his package of skills. Hall is simply not that fast nor elusive and really does not make anything on his own. For our coaches to go hard after this guy there has to be a good immediate need.

I think if Jordan Hall didn't get his Medical Redshirt I would agree, but I see their skill sets being similar. 2014 is when I see him getting solid playtime.

Nearly every national contender has a loaded depth chart at nearly every position. Recruits know this. IMO this isn't an issue with Zeke. He'll be given ample opportunities during his time here to show that he deserves to start...that he can be a star.

Zeke has a unique skill set that only one other player has on the team, and he will be graduating after this season (Jordan Hall). Zeke will get to see first hand how Urban and Co. will use Jordan this year and that will be Zeke going forward after this year if he can prove he's the real deal and earn that playing time.

If Hall were to be injured for a game or two, this year we have a backup for him.

I don't post much on here, mostly read the updates (thanks all!) but I could not be less worried about this visit. His enthusiasm for OSU has been so high for so long and everything I've read about him makes me smile. Enjoy the visit, E.

Honestly, if Missouri (or anywhere else) is the right place for him, then he should go to Missouri (or anywhere else) and I will wish him nothing but the best.

As it stands, as someone with no connections or inside information, I'm not too worried about it.
