Is it me, or does it seem that Ohio is being extremely LAZY with their recruiting this year, and are basically just looking at who Michigan is targeting, then going after them?  It seems like every one of our top targets suddenly are OSU's targets too.  Lazy bastards...do your own research.

I don't know if Urban came out and admitted that, but he said something along those lines.  It was proven more so by him offering players shortly after they got Alabama offers.

He actually did say that during the signing day special. I was amazed to hear that. I kind of find it pathetic. Let one team do all the leg work then come in a offer them. I say we send out 25 offers to scrubs around Columbus that love Ohio. That should fill up there class real quick

One of the knocks on him at FL was that he strictly relied on the recruiting services.  So he offered all the top guys.  Without seeing them or evaluating how they fit into his systems.  So while he got many top recruits many did not fit and pan out.

If Hoke and Co. targeted all of the players MSU recruited, Michigan's class would be ranked in the middle of the B1G. Your point is irrelevant.

Also, there were like 80 offers sent out in a 2 week period immediately following signing day last year. There's no evidence that the staff was just hanging around waiting to see if any other schools offered these players.

There are some summer 2011 camp one-on-one videos of Shalman at DE.  He was utterly unblockable.  Incredible first step, the 2012 OTs he was going against were consistently slow with their first reach step, where Shalman would either go around, or do a swim back inside to tackle the 'QB' (tackling dummy).

Shalman has stated his preference as a RB, but I think he would be a great rush end/3-4 OLB...JMHO.

This. OSU "offers" now mean nothing because everyone with a solid BCS offer or two will get one. It is marketing; many will find out their offer is one of those noncommitable offer things. 180 degree divergence from Tressel's style.

Seems to be the way things are done these days, especially in the SEC.  

It also keeps you from "offending" some kids who feel they're being disrespected if a school doesn't offer them during their junior year.
