Urban Flippin Recruits: Sevon Pittman
Just saw this tweet...
JoshBDraft 4Star DE Sevon pittman Visit from urban Meyer tonight. Will commit to OSU & decommit from MSU
He is a writer for a scouting site. Think we all saw this one coming. Dont think Sparty, Penn State, and Wisconsin will be big fans of Ohio when the smoke clears.

Adobe probably makes a product that lets you do this.
December 13th, 2011 at 10:50 AM ^
it won't work on your iPhone.
December 13th, 2011 at 1:10 PM ^
Ooo, Android app. Got it.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:11 PM ^
Sevon has been digging OSU forever, and was taking visits there well before Meyer was hired. I am sure Urban will get his recruits, but seeing someone like Pittman or Adolphus Washington committing to OSU is more a product of their success the last decade than it is anything Urban Meyer is doing.
Also - This is hardly a solid source, it's one lone tweet from some guy.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:25 PM ^
Not good. Not good at all. They now have Adolphus, Sevon, and Tommy Schutt, with Noah Spence visiting this weekend and its hit only official. Plus they have a solid freshman Dline class right now (Steve miller, Hale, Mike Bennett). I cant wait to see the trench battles in the years to come from our Oline and their Dline. Im not going to lie im worried about urban, hes a hell of a recruiter. And man if they get Spence.....
December 12th, 2011 at 10:29 PM ^
You're either incredibly obsessed with OSU or just a straight up troll. Poor grammar and spelling has me leaning towards the latter. Either way, I'm plenty fine with Michigan's line recruiting on both sides of the ball.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:55 PM ^
I like in Ohio so all of my friends are ohio fans. So I have to hear about this stuff all the time.
December 13th, 2011 at 1:12 PM ^
wow!! I LIKE in ohio too!
December 12th, 2011 at 10:35 PM ^
Stop acting like a big pussy.
December 12th, 2011 at 11:38 PM ^
Well said.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:43 PM ^
This will hopefully be just like the 1970s. Ohio was loaded and well coached. Michigan was loaded and well coached. It was a war and the games were great. Enjoy.
December 13th, 2011 at 10:10 AM ^
I'd rather have the talent concentrated at one school (or at least the top 2 or 3), and have one holy end-of-the-earth battle every year, rather than worry about top kids spreading to lower tier programs like Sparty.
December 13th, 2011 at 10:35 AM ^
With the B1G Championship game now, I'm just waiting for a situation where no matter what, after the OSU game, we play them again the next week. Then what happens in the first game? Do we just take it easy and save it for the next week?
December 13th, 2011 at 11:25 AM ^
We beat them both times. End of story.

UM has a helluva coach in their own right. Meyer is a tremendous coach, but is he better than Woody? No. UM won it's fair share against Woodrow so I am confident that they will win their fair share versus Meyer.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:54 PM ^
Is he better than Tressel?
December 12th, 2011 at 11:00 PM ^
I don't think so. Dirty as he may be, he was one helluva coach. There were times last year when we were going after Harbaugh that I was dreaming of the day he and Tress-Vest met each other at the 50.
December 13th, 2011 at 11:47 AM ^
It has been said before, but I don't think many people appreciate the use of UM as standing for Urban Meyer. On the other hand, he definitely make the quote "you can't spell SCUM without UM" true.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:12 PM ^
I'm expecting Sparty to whine loudly about this, and somehow blame it on Michigan.
I think I'm schadenfreude'n it up because Sparty just lost one of their top two recruits. I'd rather it not be a +1 for Ohio, but hey ... I'm going to LOL SPARTY anyway.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:12 PM ^
It's like the recruiting version of SPARTY NOOOOO!!!
December 12th, 2011 at 10:14 PM ^
The hits just keep on coming. Can't say I didn't laugh when I read this post. We all knew it would happen but much like a fart, it's just funny no matter what. Sparty=farts
December 12th, 2011 at 10:15 PM ^
Don't worry Dantonio will turn their entire 3 star class into national champions in 3 years.
December 13th, 2011 at 10:19 AM ^
MSU makes big names out of players, not the other way around
December 12th, 2011 at 10:20 PM ^
Despite the Spartan bashing did we not all expect this even when Fickel was HC? Ohio has a super crop of DE's and OSU was going to grab at minimum two. Washington/Pittman were OSU superfans from the start. Although, I will say this gives OSU one hell of a DL haul now... bastards
December 12th, 2011 at 10:23 PM ^
still considering them. I'd like for Michigan to get in on him.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
Noah Spence looks like he is going to take a single official visit. And, unfortunately, that will be to Ohio. Both Fickell AND Meyer will be in his house this Friday, possibly to watch his game. I think, but I'm not certain, that Meyer is a big deal to Spence... I doubt Michigan has ever had a shot with him.
I'm hoping someone else knows something different...
December 12th, 2011 at 10:46 PM ^
It seems strange that Spence isn't waiting around for PSU to get a new coach. He was all PSU through the whole recruiting process, up until recently.
December 12th, 2011 at 11:11 PM ^
Yes, this does seem strange. I wonder what could have possibly happened over in Happy Valley...
December 12th, 2011 at 11:28 PM ^
December 13th, 2011 at 11:01 AM ^
Tha'ts the only thing you are missing. Ohio has a free pass, and until something changes (i.e. the NCAA drops the f'in hammer) they'll continue to flout openly the rules we play by. Apparently, that's a level playing field. Perhaps it remains level because we've got all the scholar athletes, and that gives us an unfair advantage.

December 12th, 2011 at 10:18 PM ^
Must be nice to have a coaching squad running bowl practice/prep and another handling recruiting
December 12th, 2011 at 10:40 PM ^
We all can't have two complete staff's. Im still extremely confused how this presents a level playing field in college football. The NCAA always talks about wanting a level field but then they let ohio pull this shit. Oh well we just need to beat them again!
December 13th, 2011 at 1:24 AM ^
they made the ruling because Urban hasn't exactly had a staff yet. So far all he has is an OC who I believe is still coaching Iowa State in their bowl game.
OSU's primary recruiters right now are Meyer, Fickell, and Drayton.
December 13th, 2011 at 2:10 AM ^
last year. It's not a special break for OSU.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:19 PM ^
#Sparty,no #HALOL
December 12th, 2011 at 10:39 PM ^
What does HALOL mean I see it all the time !
December 12th, 2011 at 10:45 PM ^
It means nothing, but Basketball Assistant Coach, Bacari Alexander, tweeted it, and it caught on with the Maize and Blue faithful.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:47 PM ^
Doesn't it mean "Having A Lot of Laughs"?
December 12th, 2011 at 11:04 PM ^
I stand corrected.
December 12th, 2011 at 11:40 PM ^
That's where I'd see it ALL the time, under his twitter account and for the life of me I couldn't figure out what it meant
December 12th, 2011 at 10:44 PM ^
It's a line that bball coach Bacari Alexander uses all the time. I like to think of it as a notch above 'lol.' A booming guffaw, if you will.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
It means having a lot of laughs.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:19 PM ^
...while Michigan has a bigger class of stars to maintain,they couldn't even do that. I'm going to have to call my sparty friends to tell them the good news...LOL!
December 12th, 2011 at 10:22 PM ^
Pittman = not 5 star. If your going to bash do it correctly or you make us look dumb.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:27 PM ^
However by adding another star makes you feel insecure...oh well!
I'm only human...take a deep breath and relax,it will be okay! People make mistake,if you didn't know that...
December 12th, 2011 at 11:17 PM ^
If YOU'RE going to correct somebody make sure your grammar is correct or you make yourself look dumb.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:20 PM ^
Urban may do this to us. Also, OSU stronger is worse than MSU.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:22 PM ^
Eh, Ohio is always going to bring in good talent, but MSU not so much. It's better to fight a war on one front than two.
