Scout analysts ( both of them) predict Diamond to Michigan.
And both analysts have Dodson going to Osu.

I'd gladly take that prediction. I'd like both, but I frankly think O'Connor projects as a borderline RT/G prospect as Diamond does. Side note--Reeves to scUM from Lichtenfels? Not the only wild prediction I saw on that list.

That's interesting, thanks for the heads up.

Does anyone know their actual recent success rate in predicting these things, they seem do them every year around this time.

No problem. And it is very unaccurate to say the least. Probably 50/50 maybe a little bit more since they are insiders. Who knows. Diamond is a 5 star talent and will make which ever team he goes happy for the next 4 years.

I'm not sure what this kid is thinking. If we land Dodson, and SCum lands Garnett and Kozan, there probably wont be any room left for him at either schools. This kid is so set on anouncing on February 3rd that he might miss a few schools. I dont think anyone knows where this kid is leaning...

Even though no service has him rated a 5-star? There's no way to know if the school he choses will be satisfied with his time there. There have been better prospects that haven't panned out. He certainly isn't a can't miss prospect.

Scouts a pretty reputable service and have him listed as a five star ?

And I get what you are saying. But if he lives up to his potential I mean. The potential that got him offers from Sec's best and B10's best.

Let's not split hairs here. Diamond is a guy who has shown a lot of promise, and any school will be lucky to get him. This is recruiting, so there's obviously the chance that anyone won't pan out, but that's true across the board. Just because a guy isn't a 100% Buckeye lean doesn't mean we have to start questioning just how good he'll really be.
