Did you mean to say 'moneymental'? (Isn't Oregon where Mr. Nike - the one who helped recruit Malik Hairston - hails from?)
Oregon returns all three LBs next year.
Two are seniors, but if his big concern with with Florida was not being able to enroll early it seems pretty clear he wants to play now, not after somebody graduates next year.

I'm sure Phil Knight is on standby with his Nikemobile whenever Bellotti or Ernie Kent need him...

Grant's thought process here might be simply that Ohio State has to replace three great linebackers. Regardless of the number of LB recruits being brought in this year, he's probably the most physically mature of them and is ready to take the field next fall. I doubt he starts, but he could see significant playing time.

I agree, his combination of size and speed plus experience will be an advantage for him coming into the spring. I could see him providing key depth next year.

No touching!
It's been stated that the staff sees him as a SAM. It'll be interesting (if Larry comes aboard) to see if everyone stays at the places they are currently listed on the depth chart. If Larry is a SAM, that means Animal, Jr. and Marcus Freeman are there as well, where only John Kerr is really listed at the WILL, and he's more of a MIKE.

I honestly think that next year Grant is going to provide needed experienced depth, if that makes since.
He will play on ST, but I think the lbs are going to be
Will - Freeman
Mike - D'andrea
Sam - Animal Jr.
I am still suprised by this recruitment, unless they plan on him to come in and start over Freeman or Animal Jr.

Larry Grant would cap an outstanding LB class, don't you guys think?

I think they possibly see him coming in and challenging Laurinatius. Also what if Freeman for some reason doesn't come back 100% like he is supposed too? There are some question marks so starting isn't out of the question imo. I also wasn't blown away by Laurinatius this year. I thought he looked good for a freshman but has a ways to go. I think he will be a good one but just not sure if it will be next year. I think if Grant comes in as good as billed, then he pressures Laurinatius for that spot. Also Hoobler is behind D'Andrea and I think Hoobler is going to be a stud, so I doubt Laurinatius to MIKE.
