Last Time I checked,
OSU currently has two more spots left. With the almost foregone conclusion that Jamaal Berry will not return and rumors heating up that Chad Hagan will either transfer or seek medical hardship, it opens up to four more spots. Williams, Reeves, Dodson, Perkins, Neal, and Marcus are the top targets as of now.

Looks like this breakdown shows two spots still available with Berry off of the team and Hagan still listed as being a part of it. Hard to pin down an exact number, but I'm expecting 25.

Who cares, there is actually great news here. Everyone was saying Michigan was getting recruits because Ohio was down with the inference being that we wouldn't get the class we're getting if Ohio wasn't down. Well, Ohio has a #3 rated class, will complete their class and we STILL have the class that we do! I know this is partially because of the PSU situation but they're not going to be a recruiting threat for awhile so the recruits will be there for both schools. If we keep bringing in classes like we are, I say let's play ball and take our chances!

Penn St. getting totally blown up is bad for the conference. Ohio picking up all the scraps on route to a top 5 recruiting class is bad for humanity.

but 50% isn't bad, considering the situation 5 years ago. Ohio recruiting well is inevitable. I agree that not having a weak PSU in our division does not help us but I feel that conference prestige is meaningless in a media environment where the game is rigged in favor of the SEC and the Big 12.

They suffer a horribly embarassing scandel, only to have neighboring PSU suffer an even worse scandel taking the attention off of Ohio and allowing Ohio to steal a bunch of PSU's prized recruits.
Ohio will come out of all of this virtually unscathed with a top 3 coach in college football and a top 3 recruiting class.
What a joke.

A question that keeps coming up...
A question that keeps coming up...
An underlying question to a lot of posts lately is the question of just how much OSU deserves to be punished. I realize that a lot of people would have liked for the sanctions to have been worse, but now that that's over, exactly what do people want? For the NCAA to say "You can't recruit anyone with four or more stars" or "You can't hire a coach who has won a national championship"? That doesn't happen.

Very true..
Very true..
It really is just frustrating, and typical. As much as I supported him, we suffered through three awful seasons under RR. Preceding RR, Carr couldn't beat Tressel, and the list goes on and on. I get so tired of OSU, and I just wish something (ANYTHING) would set them back like we were set back. The NCAA sanctions help, but I have a bad feeling about Meyer taking over.
January 17th, 2012 at 5:56 PM |
At the risk of just parroting Sam Webb:
At the risk of just parroting Sam Webb:
I'm sure Meyer will succeed, but Michigan doesn't need OSU to be down to be good. OSU was really good under Cooper when they weren't playing Michigan. Michigan also doesn't need to pull in every top Ohio recruit. They only have to get some of them.

That's true, but things the
That's true, but things the NCAA can do like post-season bans and scholarship reductions do have a impact on a school's ability to recruit top talent. Not having a chance to play in a bowl for your first two years, or a program that may not be as competitive are certainly deterrents for top recruits that are fielding numerous competitive offers.
January 17th, 2012 at 6:47 PM |
To all programs
To all programs
ohio Aside, any punishment, especially for lack of institutional control and beyond should be such that recruits will be VERY hesitant to go to that school for at least 5 years. That would bring the program back down to an even level. The infractions are that because the accused Unviersities had an added allure to players or gained an advantage somehow on the playing field. There needs to be a distinct and relevant pain inflicted to make the university much less desireable to attend in the near future. That is what I want.
