Dymonte Thomas Update (Good)

I won't post a link, but I just talked with Dymonte Thomas about a week or so after Eleven Warriors posted a short interview with him in which the consensus seemed to be that Urb's golden touch will bring Dymonte home to the Buckeyes. In short, it's nothing to worry about. He said he'd visit Columbus only to see Brionte and his brother, who is also a student at Ohio. When I asked him about Meyer/Dunn and their potential influences, his message was simple: They have no impact on me 

I only posted this just in case some people caught the 11w interview and were a little concerned.

I read a while back that Ohio State coaches have visited every one of his wrestling meets this year. Considering that he still seems to be a solid commit, I see no reason to become invested into thinking there will be any different outcome.

that's a pretty quick single leg takedown off the whistle.  Then he works his way up nicely before rolling into a half nelson for back points and the eventual pin by putting all his leverage against his opponent's shoulders.  Pretty decent.  Although I can't say his competition in that matched looked very, uh, competitive. That match was a bit short to get a good scouting report.

Not to be that guy but he had his legs wrong the top leg should have been in front to put more leverage on the guy, also the guy could have  hooked his leg like that to counter leverage and keep his shoulder blade up or set up a reversal if DT had tried to force the shoulder down and lost his leverage, weight balance.

Urban Meyer said that they ask a recruit if he's interested, and if the kid says "no", they move on.  Urban Meyer has integrity, and he would not lie.  Look at all the time he took to spend with his family just like he said he would.

I never feel truly safe on a recruit until he's inked his name on an L.O.I. Even Shane. This is one area where I'm in total agreement with Meyer. Until they fax that letter in, every recruit is fair game.

If you asked me now if I think Dymonte will decommit and look at Ohio in the next year, I'd tell you no, but there's a whole year before the next signing day. Anything can happen, and verbal commitments don't really mean anything. That being said, I'd still be pretty shocked if he de-committed.

Agree that its ok for a coach to be a complete dick and hound a recruit who has repeatedly stated how firm he is with his commitment? There are bounds with everything and the ends don't always justify the means. Meyer should not be defended on the basis of his recruiting ethics.

I remember not too long ago, Urban was quoted as saying that he would back off a recruit that said he was solid with another school, and didn't want to go to OSU. That's clealy a lie, because Dymonte seems to have said exactly that. Urban always wanted to make Saban out to be a villain, when Urban recruits with the same methods. #Fraud
