I'd focus on Oweh, Smith & Togiai as your remaining targets on the DL. You may see some other names pop up, but those are the top targets.

5-star recruit Micah Parsons, father talk Ohio State, Penn State, Nebraska, and potential SEC visit

As Micah admits, his relationship with the Penn State community is complicated. The same can be said about dynamics between him and Ohio State.

The Buckeyes hosted him for an official visit Sept. 9, when he watched Ohio State suffer a frustrating loss to Oklahoma. As you likely know, afterward Micah tweeted in support of giving redshirt freshman Dwayne Haskins a shot at quarterback, where accomplished veteran J.T. Barrett is a longstanding starter.

The ensuing social-media firestorm featured plenty of opinions, ranging from fellow 5-star recruits to lead ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit. It put Micah under the microscope last week as a divisive figure, seemingly overshadowing his abilities as a football player.

“He’s realizing a thing me and his mom tell him: The world is not always fair,” Terrence said. “They’ll take something you say, and flip it any way they want to. Last week, they flipped it to make him like a bad guy. He has to live with that. You know, he apologized about it. Everyone was in their feelings after the game, but I guess because who he is, it was a big deal. He’s got to move forward.”

Micah understands the situation, though he’s not hiding from it.

“I shouldn’t have said it, but everybody has their beliefs and opinions,” he said. “People can take it good or bad.”

There has been abundant speculation about how Ohio State coaches and players have reacted internally. Jeremy Birmingham, Land of 10’s Buckeyes recruiting reporter, cited sources in Columbus stating at least some in the locker room were “pissed” about his comments.

Terrence strongly indicated that communication between the Parsons family and Ohio State has become limited. Micah painted a more positive picture.

“We all good,” he said, explaining Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer sent him a text message that cleared the air.
