I was the one that gave you a hard time. The Eric Fisher talk had been bothering me for a while. Your post just happened to be the one where I finally decided to say something. Sorry about that. You seem like a really respectful poster.

hmmm...

Blair at LT
Thomas at C
Richmond at RT

Blair, Crowder, Jackson and Kerbyson are all JRs.

They could move Mack to a guard position, but that means Jackson or Kerbyson become 2nd string. JW what this means about our current guys

I see no scenario where Jackson doesn't start.

Imo Mack is most likely not to start if those you listed

Mack that was chosen by the coaches as 1 of 3 players on the entire team to go to Media Days. I think the coaches opinion of Mack as a player is a little higher than that of most fans. All most fans seem to remember is that he was not highly ranked by the recruiting services.

This. You don't send a second team center to SEC media days as a spokesman for the team.

He is a very smart, very mobile, tough center. The kind Butch likes at the position. The talk of Thomas at center is when Crowder graduates, gets injured, or messes up. Since we are weak at OT let's all hope that the last two are not the case because Thomas is needed at OT.

Pretty important at guard

Doesn't matter BC I think he will be 2 yr starter at c

Our Center position will be in the best shape this year than it has been in the last 6 years. Quicker, faster delivery on the snap to the QB, more accurate, more mobile, more sustaining on the block. Also, it's a very important position in the CBJ system (speed, setup for next play, spot of the ball, alignment, identification of the def, and clear confident calls prior to snap - all dependent on a smart, tough Center). You don't change out a Center in the CBJ system overnight. No way the Center position is changed out in the next 2 years unless injury dictates.

From 247 today:

The Buckeyes are locked in a three-way battle for Top100 offensive tackle Drew Richmond. The Memphis (Tenn.) University School big-timer is also highly considering Alabama and Tennessee with this visit being another chance for Ohio State to remind the 6-foot-5, 320-pound Richmond why he likes the Buckeyes so much.

I don't know what it is but something about Ohio State really disgusts me.

It's almost like anytime I read or hear something about them I just see Urb's big, smug face.

Not worried at all...just making his final rounds before announcing for the Vols. Butch has already beaten Urbs on multiple occasions, and will continue that trend here.

I don't understand the allure of OSU to SEC area athletes at all. If I was an elite football player prospect from the Southeast (and setting aside the fact that I would be a Vol given the opportunity), I would be interested in the SEC schools, FSU, Clemson, Miami, Texas, USC, UCLA, and maybe Oregon. I despise a number of the teams on that list as a fan but I can see why they would be interesting to players whether because of prestige, campus location, city, girls, innovative schemes, cool jerseys, etc. OSU, however, is a mystery. Ohio sucks as a state. It's cold during the winter. It doesn't have a beach or a cool city nearby, etc. And, they beat up on inferior competition in the Big Ten and then generally get exposed as frauds by SEC, Big 12, and PAC-12 programs. In short, there's nothing redeeming other than having a historically good football program. Plus, Urban Meyer is a phony and a creeper of the highest order. Really, when Meyer was hired at OSU, it brought a unity between the team I may hate the most and the coach I surely hate the most.

I hate Ohio State, but it is a cool team. Miami and Ohio State will always be considered the "cool schools." I'll never understand why anyone would want to go to ND though. That school is boring and lame. Academics or catholicism is the only reason I could see a player wanting to go there.

Surprising Ole Miss isn't in the there. I guess there is only so many times Freeze can show The Blindside to a recruit

I agree completely! Maybe some of these kids were to young to remember those vastly overrated OSU teams getting throttled by UF and LSU. OSU would finish 4th or 5th in the SEC most years.

I agree 100%. ESPN (re: everyone) made a huge deal about how many consecutive wins Ohio State had going through last season. They neglected to mention that they didn't play a single ranked opponent in 25 some-odd games. Then, they played two ranked teams back-to-back and lost both. I don't understand HOW these recruits don't see that.

Tennessee was the only school in the country that played the #1 and #2 ranked teams in the SAME SEASON. Did anyone say anything about our strength of schedule? We played what, SIX ranked teams before November?
