Yay that our rival doesn't get a blue chip O lineman. Will we get him?
Thread created for TdK71 per his posting in the "Mike Martin still kicking OSU Butt" thread.
Good news
It'd be huge if we got either Garnett or Diamond, let alone both. Please God, make this happen.
We already have
A 5* OL, what do we need 2 more for?
You Missed The Meeting...

Man ball. Formerly, somebody else.

But I love a weak link on an offensive line. Someone to get beat on every play.

Because we need 5 offensive lineman every offensive snap of the game. If we get more... put him at fullback as a lead blocker.

Fielder makes anything seem possible!
Hey, why couldn't it happen? Tigers got Fielder, so anything is plausible.
YES, we CAN get both,... btw, anyone check DGB recently to see if he hasn't included us? (where is Shock we need a DGB update!)

Michigan gets Diamond and
Michigan gets Diamond and Garnett, Dantonio gets a player named Pyrite, that's the way of the world.
I SAID Goddamn..
...Goddamn...God...da..
+1 for pyrite.
Let it roll...
Keep the momentum rolling our way for these final spots -- that's great news!
this makes me very happy. if we cannot have him, at least ohio can't.
And when we play as a team, when the old season is over, you and I know, it's gonna be Michigan again, Michigan

Apparently you didn't read
Apparently you didn't read the thread. OSU doesn't want him after his visit. They're getting Dodson. Even though Dodson has said he's most likely going out of state.
Unfortunately we see many

Thanks JeepinBen..
I truly appreciate the Post and Posbang. When I saw that I immediately thought "What !?! How great is that Spermin Meyer's not getting his coffee today! ;-)
I think names like "Spermin"
I think names like "Spermin" are frowned on around here. Something about RCMB and all that. I would probably not use that too many more times. Just a heads up.

If you go to 11w, it seems
If you go to 11w, it seems like OSU doesnt want him. They do say something about it would take a large price. Was that even me? They need tackles.
The original article
The original article indicated OSU hadn't talked to Diamond since his visit. Probably confident in Dodson, or there was something about him they didn't like.
Thanks, I thought at first
Thanks, I thought at first they were implying something else. I hope Dodson goes to Wisky.
or
or, far more likely, he wasnt showing interest.
Posturing....
OSU knows that Diamond wasn't going to pick them and was likely headed to Michigan. Rather than lose a recruiting battle to Michigan, they just basically forfeited instead.
For better or worse, Meyer is
For better or worse, Meyer is a relentless recruiter. I can assure you that the fear of losing a recruiting game with Michigan would not deter him from going after a recruit. Heck, he had/has no problem trying to go after Kalis and Dymonte - and they are about as solid to Michigan as it gets.
You can lead a recruit to water
but you can't make him answer the phone.
OSU reacts that way about
OSU reacts that way about every recruit OSU doesn't get
Yeah, the fanbase for sure.
Yeah, the fanbase for sure. But, I thought it was one fo 11w's writers or contributors. That is kind of irresponsible. Ace or TomVH, when here, would never write that about a recruit.
Sounds like they think
Sounds like they think Diamond wants money. There was a thread on the 247 boards about it. Almost guaranteed that it's complete bullshit.
Almost?
Almost?
"Michigan Defense" is dominating everything, in every aspect of life. That's a rough definition.

Yeah, if all he wanted is money ...
they'd find a way to handle that in Columbus.
Hypothetical question: Would
Hypothetical question: Would we be able to take Garnett, Diamond and Kozan should they all commit?
"There will be blood on the field and it won't be mine." -KK
According to TomVH
It is unlikely that we get them all, but we would accept commitments from them all if they wanted to join the squad.
Yes, especially with Stacey
Yes, especially with Stacey no longer in the fold. Kozan can play center, which is where Stacey would play.
Those who stay will be champions!
Of Course.....
If Hoke and company wanted to take them all....
Yeah, and a follow-up
Yeah, and a follow-up question:
For OL more than other positions, isn't there more of an incentive for solid recruits to join one another in terms of looking good for future NFL prospects, and be part of a stellar unit, rather than being the big fish in a little pond (ie the STAR RB or WR)?
If that's the case, shouldn't the signing of one star recruit on OL catalyze the signing of others?
And shouldn't there be an incentive for a recruit to, once committed to a program, sell the program to other OL prospects MORESO than other positions?
And if that's the case, shouldn't there be motivation for OL prospects to commit ASAP so they can get on with recruiting OTHER top OL to their program, and thus improve their OWN prospects of being part of a stellar OL unit, and hence improve their future NFL incomes?
Or am I missing something?
Just wondering.

Apparently something soured
Apparently something soured OSU on Diamond. I hope that after Dodson flips to OSU it doesn't matter who dumped who, because we've moved on. OSU and UofM clearly are head and shoulders above the rest of the B1G in recruiting this year, and I like it that way.

Honest question, how
Honest question, how confident are you that Dodson will flip to OSU?
Everything I have read and been told is that it is more 50/50 than an OSU lock.
Mitch McGary is a wall
yes.I believe we will get him and Garnett
