Thanks to 86, Nutty, Mili and everyone else who has been making charts such as this for reference by us recruiting "novices"
so my math was off all the projections for schollie are around 22 is this correct.

This is all subjective right because we don't have info on transfers, failing grades, med years etc. so could be higher or lower depending on what happens

If nutty or 86 and mili have any info on this could you help please thx in advance.

I believe we know Houston is applying for a 6th year.

Also things that are unsure:

1. Zwick(going or staying) - Hopefully he stays.
2. Underwood(grades) - hopefully he stays as well.
3. Arden(shoulder) - he was hurt in football and then injured it worse in that fight. Don't know anything about him or if he is coming back.
4. I don't think anyone will leave early b/c Hawk and Holmes have said they are staying.


And on a side note who is the other greyshirt kicker on that list. Do we really need 5 kickers with ships. That is just ridiculous. You would think we were trying to start a soccer team.

"You would think we were trying to start a soccer team."With All-Americans at punter and kicker, plus Ray Guy and (tomorrow) Lou Groza trophies, I give JT & Co. a lot of latitude when it comes to special-teamers.

I'd like to see husted get a sixth year would be great for our kickers

we have 12 committs for some reason I thought we could take 22 this year not 20
i know alot depends on certain variables but didn't Jt state he wanted to even the schollies out and take 20-23 each year.

hey nutty or 86 can you set us straight on this.

well there is alot going on now and osu is adding recruits and losing them damn shame abut ringer. I like larinitis (spelling) but russell is a surprise, maybe a diamond in the rough. Mathis to tennacheat and now we are down to 2 legit rb. Stewart doesn't need talked about, mo wells would be a great get but gwaltney is imo not coming maybe 30% chance so now we are looking at jayson white and collins. I just can't believe osu hasn't went after our own top rb's. Yes I know the grade problems and etc but our top two went inside the big ten northwestern and meat st so now we have to play them not good. Im worried with only pittman and haw not many warm bodies.

If the coaches did not want them that is good enough for me. There is a reason why the coaches pass on these kids that we all want or take away offers that we all want to see them give out. It becomes a problem when us fans get attached to someone b4 they even become bucks and then when they say no or don't get an offer we get pissed at the coaches. If I remember right last year everyone was mad about Miles Williams and Ray Williams. Look at them now. Tress doesn't recruit the borderline grades and attitudes unless he has a good feel. Maybe he didn't have a good feeling about ringer as he was told to get his grades together for 3 years now and they are still in ?, but last year we took Curtis Terry after he made grade and must of shown improvement to the coaches.

I didn't say i was pissed at the coaches just stating facts and Iam not attached to any player. I base my opinion on what I've seen on tape and in person.

BSB states ringers act was a 21

my last post was pointing out how thin we are a rb and how some of our top choices are fading .

If you ask me, Gwaltney was a pretty long shot for a while in the minds of the coaches. Perhaps they didn't want to scare him away, but I doubt they were waiting on a pipe dream and risking losing Ringer as a result. There is some reason that he wasn't chased hard enough. Maybe he wasn't the right fit. Maybe the academics or some other character trait wasn't right. Or perhaps he wasn't as much of a OSU-lock-once-they-offer as we BP experts thought :wink:

We still have a very good chance at daniels or a couple other guys.

Plus, taking a fall back option for a big back is not that bad considering the talent we've kept around at other positions by not offering ringer.
