You can add him to the commit list. If we can land Biggs and RJS then that will be an incredible LB haul that will end up paying huge dividends in a few years.

i posted this on another thread but recently there was a two part article i think on scout where he wanted an offer from tOSU and was upset/pissed at tOSU when the coaches told him that he would not be offered by them. I think that really pissed him off and had him look at michigan even more...i dont want to spread rumors but ive seen this written about him on a few different blogs... i say hes definitely going to be wearing the maize n blue!

that the coaches want and who wants to be here.  If the rumors are true about his mad at tOSU, then all the better for his motivation and work ethic.  Either way, I hope things go well in April.

I'm curious about which LB position he'll end up playing.  We've seen RJS mention that the coaches want him at MLB and Ross at WLB, so I'd be curious whether Ringer would also be at one of those positions or potentially play strongside.  Obviously guys can end up switching around once they're on campus, but I wonder what the coaches have told him.

I think he looks/sounds more like a WILL also, similar to Biggs.  Which isn't a bad thing, since we have a handful of young SAMs right now, especially if Furman moves to LB and/or Antonio Poole redshirts.

If you check out his highlights he returns an interception or two and it's obvious that he runs nowhere near a 4.41. Ross looks faster on film but he's also smaller at this point. Ringer may not be that tall, but he's still built like a lot of future middle linebackers are. He's got fifteen lbs. on most guys that are his height and the frame to put on more. I think he'll end up in the middle.

it was a scout article where he says he felt very disrespected by tOSU and if you read on the buckeyeplanet link below it seems they have had him going to A2 for a while.  You can also find the link to the scout article on the page below, it was originally published on gobluewolverine but could not quickly find it..........

For anyone doubting this kid's abilities, read the Scout description/analysis of him:

 

He may not wow you with the eye test, but put on the film and he's all over the field making plays. He's very solidly built, has a nose for the football and has legitimate sideline to sideline speed. He's also physical and can take on blocks. I have to see more of him in coverage, but he's a kid who could end up leading a team in tackles for several years in college. - Allen Trieu

That sounds pretty legit. I would take this kid in a heart beat. Sounds like someone who you might not think is the best player from his physical abilities but is able to translate his gifts onto the field. 

Can we get a "He's a RIngeh sah!"

Is someone in the athletic department selling kids on the Big House seating 120k soon or is Ms. Boyd just off with her numbers?

I've heard rumblings here and there about DB wanting to put in a little wiggle room in case someone else decides (Bama or Texas, I'm guessing) to put in even more seats.

Wow, I just re-read my post and this is a
