On an amusing note, as I was refreshing the google news page every 15 seconds waiting for updates, I came across this:
"Lienabcker DePriest Set To Announce
MrSEC (blog)"
Ah, SEC, always holding academics (especially spelling) in the highest standard!
It's definitely not the outcome any of us were hoping for, but Trey had to go where he felt was best for him. Good luck Trey! You can always come home to Ohio.

Best of luck to Trey. Alabama did a fantastic job recruiting him. Hoping he has a great and injury free Sr Season and represents Ohio football down in SEC country with pride.

Bama is going to be ridiculous if they pick up Clowney as well. Talk about the rich getting richer.

Is OSU chopped liver? no...
...is that how coaches recruit against Ohio State? absolutely.
two years in a row the top LB prospect in this state has been whisked away. Future recruits will take notice of that trend. How could they not?? Look if a top in-state prospect goes up north or to Penn State...fine...they keep their midwestern roots and stay in Big 10 country. When the SEC and Texas slap you in the face and take your candy away from you, well...how are you going to react?
I'm tired of 4 and 5 star kids in Ohio leaving because of the rhetoric of other coaches...but when you're 0-9 versus 'God's conference' and you've produced, what? 2 Butkus award winners ever...its like shooting fish in a barrel and I'm sick of it...honestly, why does a kid from Ohio worship a program that, until last season, was largely irrelevant in his 17 years?
I wish the kid the best but, to me, this can't happen in back to back years and it just did and I'm not very happy about it.

Dude, keep things in perspective. Hicks didn't grow up in Ohio and was a Texas fan and DePriest was a scUM fan. What do you expect? Going 0-2 in a situation like that seems perfectly reasonable. The sky is not falling. Besides, this will just make beating 'Bama this year in the NCG all the more special.

There's one part of Duane Longs post I agree with
DePriest decision is in
Best of luck Trey, but I believe we'll be just fine with kids who want to be Buckeyes.

Many kids live in the now...they don't note nor care about relatively recent past, but what's right now. Alabama is the hot item right now, never mind that they went 4-9 in 2003, 6-6 in 2004, 6-7 in 2006, and 7-6 in 2007. Recall how "Da U" had returned to dynasty in 2000 only to fall in 2004 to the mediocrity in which they're still mired.
Conversely, Ohio State has had 10-win seasons in five straight and seven of the last eight seasons. We've also been ranked eight straight seasons, including six of those eight being in the top five. Lastly, we've played in BCS bowls seven of the last eight seasons, including three national title games.

You'd have looked good in S&G Trey, but we've got some GREAT kids still on the board. Really glad you made your pick early so we can plan accordingly.
Good luck to Trey at 'Bama.

DePriest grew up a Michigan fan in the heart of Buckeye country. When Michigan started sucking, he began looking around for a new favorite team and became an Alabama fan about a minute after they won the NC. Some kids, no matter where they are from or how they are recruited, are just anti-OSU, and there's nothing you can do about it. DePriest was one of those kids.
