CBF40'S Look at '09 recruiting

Boyd or no Boyd - Shrive, Givens and Newsome would be hard to swallow.

Not really. I'll take Hall, Brown and Boyd over them. Also word has it Givens did try to come back to tOSU, and we rightly said "sorry!"

However, they are good pick ups for Jo Pa & gang, but I am not gonna lose any sleep over any of them. Not now, not game time.

tOSU wasn't a factor in Eric Shrive's recruitment...at all - that is a fact.

tOSU wasn't a factor in Kevin Newsome's recruitment...window dressing, maybe a quick look if Boyd didn't drop in your lap - that is a fact.

Darrell Givens was obviously an Ohio State commit, must of been an in the moment thing which I didn't understand because of the fact that he grew up as a fan of "the U"...but Givens trying to get back with tOSU has been refuted - if that proves at some point not to be true, so be it. All of that being said, good luck with Tajh and I hope you get him. It will be good for the Big 10, just don't look for any magnificent return of glory from UM - they're dead in the water after '10.

Refuted by who? I am confident that he did ask for his spot back, or at least if it was still open, and that is coming from one of, if not the, most trusted source we have.

1.Givens
2.PSU side
3.There was some waffling back and forth on tOSU's side ("insiders", what have you) as to whether or not this was legit

Good luck with Boyd, should be fun these next few years...

MROB vs. Troy Smith (granted not Troy at his best - read: '07 regular season, not '06)
Daryll Clark vs. Terrelle Pryor (not the best of games for either, '09 for the show!)
Kevin Newsome vs. Terrelle Pryor & Tajh Boyd (when Terrelle leaves)

Fun times.

You and I both know there's zero chance he would admit it to your side.

Some of that is as political as anything, and that word is tossed around too loosely. BP & Scout both heard the same thing from their sources.
