That's the feeling I got
From Anzalone's extensive video, I got the sense that he's a jack of all trades. From everything I've heard about Gedeon from all the experts, I've heard the same thing (both play LB and RB). Wish there was more video of Gedeon to confirm this myself.

In one day Ohio picks up commits in two different sports that were turned away by Michigan.
Here is to hoping neither of them come back to bite us. I was upset when Hoke and co backed off Alex...

wait what?
wait what?
I'll give you the hoops commit, but don't be telling me Michigan "turned away" Anzalone as if he was trying to commit and Hoke said "nope, we're full."

But I believe he was told they were full and he shouldn't visit, similar to Dorian O'Daniel.

Correct. Anzalone had a visit to Ann Arbor scheduled, and it was canceled because he was told Michigan was full at LB. At the time, he listed Michigan as one of his top choices.

"turned him away"
"turned him away"
But you imply that Michigan actually would have got him when you state that he was "turned away." It's also hard to say that you're full at linebacker when they are now pursuing Levenberry.
I know this guy has low credibility around here but a few of you know that he is often right. Here is a tweet from RivalsMike earlier: "nope, he always told me #OhioState was tops“@WolverineViper:@rivalsmike they led after Michigan told him that they were full. Get real...”"
Respect the Rivalry
April 22nd, 2012 at 10:19 PM |
ummm, no
ummm, no
"Turned away" means he wanted to come here for a visit and we said "don't bother" because we no longer had a scholarship for him. The coaches liked Levenberry enough that they told him a had a scholly waiting for him when he decided...apparently they didn't think highly enough of Anzalone to offer the same thing.
Maybe you are used to coaches turning guys away when they want to commit, but Hoke doesn't opperate that way. He doesn't let it get to the point of someone saying "I'm in" before saying "sorry, but we don't want you". He is up front with recruits and they know where they stand with him.
It's a novel concept in Buckeye land...living with integrity!
Having the number 1 recruiting class means nothing without good coaches to mold the players into champions!
April 21st, 2012 at 7:10 PM |
Yeah
Yeah
I was very high on Anzalone and was very disappointed when we stopped recruiting him. Ohio is getting a really good football player. I love his toughness. We're going to make sure he's blocked when we face them in a few years.

It would have been nice if Anzalone had gone somewhere else, since he had offers from pretty much any school a football player would want offers from, including B1G schools like PSU, MSU, Purdue, and NW. He also had ND, Bama, Florida, Georgia, and USC - who I thought had been reported as his one time leader.

Yeah, because we don't look to be the favorite for the top class in the country or anything. Unless the bottom drops out we should be a lock for a top 3 spot.
"Let him savor the moment. Lying to yourself is essential to the sports fan experience."
For Michigan fans it usually seems to involve convincing yourself things are much worse than the evidence suggests. A defense mechanism I suppose... Or a misconception that it makes you more logical because you're above the bias.
In reality it's just wet blanket-ism.

Joey Bosa's dad married his Dolphins teammate Eric Kumerow's sister. Kumerow went to Ohio, and I think his sister (Joey's mom) both have Ohio ties.
Check out these links. The internet is an amazing place.

You posted a picture of his parents at an exotic dancing competition - something that has literally nothing to do with anything. Sure, it's a fact that it exists - but it doesn't make it appropriate. If you can't see why, then this isn't a discussion worth continuing.

It's not like a shared a private picture. This picture is on the internet for the world to see. If they had a problem with it, they would have contacted the dancer who posted it to take it down. If you search for John Bosa's pictures on Google, it is one of the first ones that comes up.

I don't know why anyone would be shocked by this
I don't know why anyone would be shocked by this
I think the only other school that really had a chance was Florida.
Also don't be shocked when Joey Bosa (Mom and her brother who played for Ohio both have Ohio ties) and Mike Heuerman (brother on Ohio FB team) commit to Ohio in the next week or so. I had pretty much already penciled these guys into their class. The only guys I am following on Ohio's radar are Jaylon Smith, Ethan Pocic, & Laquon Treadwell. Those guys are truly in play and could go anywhere. But even Jaylon Smith's brother is currently on Ohio's FB team. If they lose Smith, that would be a huge loss for Ohio.
But Anzalone had similar rankings to McCray and Gedeon. Just like Michigan, Ohio is going to get good players (only Rich Rod could screw that up); it's only the true head to head recruiting that catches my attention.

In case someone was asleep and didn't know who Anzalone was, he's a LB from Pennsylvania considered one of the top 5-10 LB's in the country.
