Alabama is doing it right now and they did it last year with some of their best players also. I will see what happens. You know that throughout spring football you are going to lose some more guys, so you have to keep up the numbers also. We don’t oversign like some of the top SEC schools that routinely push 30 guys, so you have to be willing to account for potential losses and processes like they are. Class right now is at 18 guys, that’s just not enough despite the quality. Not in this era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to step up their booster NIL game tbh to keep up with the Joneses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think the way we were portrayed by other fanbases you would think that would be the last thing we needed to step up....🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I remember reading if they went after ricks they would have lost a younger guy to the portal and a recruit or two Edited December 17, 2021 by buno67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama got To’to and Jameson Williams in the offseason. Williams is their best player. Its the new age of CFB. I understand picking your battles and finding your weak areas though. I did see that Cameron Brown is return for a 5th season. So we aren’t really desperate at cornerback at least now next year. Hurt feelings be damned at some other spots though.

candyman93 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) So recruiting wise, still looking at Carson Hinzman + Christen Miller? Anybody else? Edited December 18, 2021 by candyman93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah dudes will transfer but if dudes are transferring cause your accepting transfers at a high amount every years. It’s going to lead to issues down the road. You will lose recruits and younger guys. Jameson was a transfer and their best player but he wasn’t brought in to be a starter right away. He came in didn’t play much early on for Bama and exploded this season. Also worked out cause They didn’t have a lot of WRs in recently classes and knew they were going to lose a lot. Think that is how Ohio state viewed Ricks. It’s a little different with out early signing day played out but Ohio state has the players on this team. I don’t think Ohio state was lacking talent. I think the schemes was pretty bad last year. Hopefully that will be corrected wjth our new and proven DC day said it right. They will closely look at the portal for guys and only take the ones they truly want/need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pf9 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 10 years ago yesterday, OSU was handed its final penalties for the tattoo parlor scandal, which included a bowl ban for 2012. Safe to say we recovered quickly from that. As good as the 2012 team was, Urban Meyer hit his stride as OSU coach two years later by winning the first CFP NCG. No team north of the MDL has won it since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Tanner McCalister, a now ex-OkSt safety, is apparently hoping to reunite w/ Knowles. Not sure how good he is but familiarity will go a long way especially from a kid who's been in Knowles system for 3 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From stuff I heard about him, he is suppose to be a pretty good safety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
