Now this is a kid on defense than can flat out play! But we're fighting an up hill battle with Miami! Randy Shannon is one heck of a recruiter, especially when the kid favors his school.

At least we were in this race for a little, and at least we have enough DB talent in the Midwest(OH specifically) so that this loss won't hurt much at all.

I have been talking to a friend of mine(scummer fan) and he is scared out of his mind about last years class and the possibility of this years class. He fully recognizes that we are stcoked for 4-6 years of BCS and NC games...B10 titles...wins versus Michigan.
How do you think Tressel did it? He and the staff worked their tails off evaluating and recruitng. Thats how dynasties are built. There are many fans of teams that mock OSU for losing back to back NC games...most are jealous.
Do you honestly believe that Miami has more prestige than OSU? I live in Alabama and although I take my shots from SEC fans the knowledgable ones recognize we have a juggernaut.
The young man may not choose the Buckeyes but IMO we have a good of shot as anybody. I say we fight as hard as possible and "waste as much tiem as we need too" getting this stud.

pnuts34;1115880; said:I agree with that point, and in no way do I believe that Miami is superior in recruiting, I'm just saying for THIS kid, he has stated on many occasions that his "dream school" is Miami! I don't underestimate JT at all, it's just like if we had a Cleveland Glenville kid who says that his dream school is Ohio State, but yet he visits other schools, who most likely has the best chance of landing(and most of the time it happens) him, that dream school! That's all I'm saying. My statements were only talking about this kid, and not about tOSU's recruiting in general. Yes we have a good chance of getting him, but Miami has a greater chance of getting him!

Ohio State is in Ohio.
Most Ohio kids dream of playing for Ohio State in Ohio.
Miami is in Florida.
Darrell Givens attends HS in Maryland.
Miami is not in Maryland.
Most Maryland kids do not grow up dreaming of playing for Miami...or Maryland.
