No inside info but Birm has been pretty obviously insinuating that he didn't think Dobbins and Cam Akers would be in the same class. He also mentioned Texas as the re-emerging threat for Dobbins so sounds like it's a thing amongst those who follow it closely.

No offense to "Teddy Heisman" as people enjoy his input, but he bases his opinions and views off of reading the Internet and mostly Twitter, I don't know that he has any on the ground sources.

Crystal balls are kinda bs too. We can all take the quotes we've heard and craft our own views.

Its Andrew Ellis at 11w now. Not too surprised that Dobbins is starting to trend away after his last comments. I'm still not worrying as on the bright side, more analysts ate CBing Can Akers to OSU

He says he'll look around if we get a commitment from another running back, yet when he committed, we already had another back in the class. It's strange that he was willing to be part of a two-back class then, but is souring on the idea now. Either way, I hope he sticks with us because he's an outstanding prospect.

Not to mention the other schools that he's looking at have other committed RBs as well... Very weird

Back then, he was the premiere back. The other guy was not ranked as highly. Now Akers is ranked as high as, if not higher than, Dobbins. Not sure if this is the reason, but something to consider.

I think this is just an excuse for him to take official visits. I don't blame the kid. This kind of thing only happens once in a lifetime. I say take all five officials, then come to tOSU!

PS: I propose that tOSU be added to the dictionary at BP so that it doesn't show a red underline.

I think you're definitely on to something here. In one interview he said that other schools are telling him that he's good enough to be the only RB they take, and that he feels he alone should be good enough for any school. So yeah, he's definitely wanting to be THE man at RB wherever he goes. He was OK with being the higher ranked RB in our class. But with the likelihood of C Akers joining him he's now backpedaling. Honestly I'd rather have a RB who isn't afraid of competition.

That's very interesting as Texas is the only school that boast to not have a RB commit. OU has a top 10 RB commit and his 3rd CBed school is FSU who has the #2 APB(with Dobbins being #1). So 2 of the 3 schools he's looking at have comparable talent at RB already committed and are also looking to probably add another RB. And Texas is the weakest school that may provide him with early PT but little to show for in his career if he were to enroll there...

The reality is it's likely tOSU or tesas at this point and neither is a bad option. tOSU offers one of the best development programs and rb lineage as a support system but will be insanely competitive and he would likely get less pt. tesas would get him on field faster, he's from there, but he would be far more likely to get dinged up on the path to the nfl. Both very good schools. Texas has better looking girls
