OSU offers Cass Tech sophomores Weber and Alabi
Well, it looks like Meyer is not stopping at Webb and is now going after sophomores Weber and Alabi. One the one hand as a player to get offered by OSU you have to be psyched, on the other hand it's a little frustrating to see kids from one of our pipeline schools considering our arch rival. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news if you hadn't heard. Don't slam me for sharing the info. Here's the link, although I think it's paywalled.

Well I mean it's not like UM doesn't offer Glenville kids just because it's a OSU pipeline. Or was, haven't heard much about Glenville in awhile but you get the point.
That's good. It's means the guys we have in our state are legit if other schools are offering them and Meyer has only gotten one Michigan guy through two years of being coach. Most guys in our state go to Michigan now that hoke is at the helm.
I agree that it's a great sign that we have highly rated talent if OSU is offering them. But, I'm not yet sold that Meyer won't get his fare share of them. He's already got the most highly regarded guy out of Cass Tech I can remember (Webb) in the past few years and it looks like he has a decent chance at these two. So, I guess time will tell if Hoke can hold onto the best ones or if Meyer can take his share of them. Regardless, I'm not here to argue a point...I just wanted to share some information I thought the board would be interested in knowing.
Not buying that.
To whoever marked this as trolling, congrats, you"re a coward. Didn't realize this was the Soviet Union. You're right, Hoke will totally win, like, 8 national titles and Urbz will be fired this year for going 0-12.
Coward
Calm down.
And don't complain about being downvoted.
Happens to all of us sometimes.
First rule about MGoPoints (and downvotes)...
are we supposed to be surprised?
Just to clarify they said the offer meant a lot to them, they really like OSU, they were excited to meet Vrabel, and OSU is one of their top schools...UGH.
Random Recruit:
"I'm really excited to receive an offer from...[insert name of university here]. It would be a real privilege to play under Coach...[whoever]. I've always been a fan of [insert name of university here] and I feel blessed and excited. Academics will be a huge factor for me and I know from speaking to Coach [whoever] that [insert name of university here] that a real focus for the team is education. I was so excited to meet Coach [whoever] when I got the offer and while I don't really have a top list I know that they will be one of my top schools. If everything comes together then I hope to be able to take an unofficial with my parents in the coming months.
If anything, I think it's good. Shows that those guys are good players
CARES?!!
Never thought I'd say this but...it's still basketball season ;-)
I'm not appalled...just frustrated they consider OSU one of their top schools. But, it's still very early for the 2015 class.
Also: this is a stupid thread. And not just because it was above the Game 5 open thread and causing problems for me.
Maybe a big win will get the board feeling good & get me a few upvotes...maybe.
to steal some of our bball team's thunder. Keep tryin.
So what.
Who cares.
