Thats huge news and not surprising since I didn't think he would fit well at OSU. Still have Va Tech to worry about though.

Surprised there isn't more chatter about this one. With OSU and Clemson out of the picture, we really are in a position to make a push with Green.

Numbers crunch for OSU. Schollie went to...
Football Recruiting - Taivon Jacobs - Player Profiles - ESPN
I question if he was a good fit Urbie's system. Clemson too, for that matter.

Big visit. Recently dropped Michigan from his Top 5 but I think they're still very much in it and his style would be a good fit in Hoke's system. A good visit puts the Maize & Blue in a good position, but Auburn (slight lead) and Alabama remain the teams to beat. IMO.

Camped at PSU (out), OSU (out), and Tennessee.

VT is very much a factor

Does anyone know how many Michigan is gonna take this cycle? According to Rivals they have 22 commits right now

Edit: They actually have 23 right now. My mistake

Doubt Ala is still in it. Could be wrong but see it as a Auburn, VT and probably UT and Mich. Surely we can land one of the Rb's. They have to like that they can come right in and have a chance at alot of PT.

Keep the faith. We're in the thick of it with some very talented RB's.

They took 25 last year. But they only have one RB committed right now, so they could push for him

Thank you. Even though that answer kinda sucks hah I was hoping for something more along the lines like "they are only taking two more, most likely a DB and a DL."

:hi:

I hear you. In all fairness to the RBs currently on our roster, if our OLine does not do a better job of run blocking it doesn't matter how "elite" the running back is. He won't be successful. The OLine, or lack there of, is the root cause of our rushing deficiency. A good offensive line has the ability to make an average RB look good, and a bad OLine has the ability to make a good running back look bad. Don't think for a minute that these kids do not take into consideration that Tennessee was dead last in Rushing in the SEC last year. They do, I assure you.

Solid post. However, I'm not gonna put it all on the OL. I think the lack of a solid RB coach played a role as well. There were times where the RBs had a cutback lane or a hole that they didn't see. Watching film with Jay Graham will go a long way for our RBs as well IMO.

They got Dye and that other fellow (who Clemson guys say the coaches are high on). IIRC, some of the Clemson posters here and on CockyTalk said that they were telling Dye, Green, and others that they were only taking one more RB. Hence my comment "Clemson is out of it."

Obviously they'd be stupid not to keep recruiting him, so let's hope they are.
