Armani Reeves to Ohio

Urban has said that he is recruiting with the expectations of more transfers. There are several players who have expressed an interest in transferring, but haven't actually gone through with it yet. The most notable player in this situation is Jaamal Berry, who may actually be on his way out anyways because he's currently being investigated for assault charges.

Also Tressel had a habit of saving 1-2 scholarships a year to give to a deserving walk-on, even though that player would never see the field.  Those scholarships were always for one year, but Tressel usually kept the players on scholarship until their eligibility was used up.  I highly doubt that Urban is going to feel obligated to keep this tradition going and will most likely return some of those players to walk-on status. The only players I can think of off the top of my head that are currently in this situation are Ricky Crawford and Adam Griffin.

So it's a reasonable assumption that 4-5 more scholarships will free up by the time fall practice starts up. I'm sure that Michigan fans can agree that attrition of players is a normal part of any coaching change.

As for Armani Reeves, I think both schools were equally as appealing to him and the X-factor became Cam Williams. I've heard the comparison of coaching between Fickell and Mattison, but you also have to factor in Everett Withers.  Reeves will most likely be coached by Withers who is a DB coach by trade, and if you look at Withers' resume you'll see that everywhere he has been the secondary has been exceptional.

Please don't.  You make the fanbase look bad.  Heaven forbid a recruit chooses a rival school.  

Noah Spence. That was out of no where. There defense will be bad-ass.

I guess so, but it just seems a little odd that Ohio was well out of the top 25 and then Urban comes in and a month later makes Ohio the number one class without a doubt. I know he poached PSU's class, but still, it's a little curious.
