Stefon Diggs Announcement - 10PM ET 2/10
Arguably off topic since Stefon Diggs won't be selecting Michigan, but since Ohio is still in the mix, it's relevant. I haven't done the scholarship math, but if he chooses Auburn, I suppose it could shut the door on Kozan to the Tigers. Anyhow, here's the link.
Good Counsel High School wide receiver Stefon Diggs is set to announce his college decision on Comcast SportsNet on Friday night. Diggs will make the announcement during the 10 p.m. Geico SportsNet Central after the Wizards' game with LeBron James and the Miami Heat.
Diggs has confirmed to CSN that he has narrowed his list to five schools. Auburn, Cal, Ohio State, Florida and Maryland are still in the running for the five-star recruit's services.
Edited the title with the correct day per the astute observation of Hello Heisman 21 noted below.

Although I would hardly call this "bucknuts speculation", because the people who are talking about it, don't take part in speculation. Also, if we could only talk about confirme stuff, there wouldn't be much of a college football blog/forum presence in this country. That being said, if this is against board policy, I'd be more than happy to have it deleted.
February 7th, 2012 at 4:27 PM ^
FYI - it is really nice to have reasonable and well-informed "foreign presences" on the board. We get a bit inbred around here sometimes.

Are you the real Derrick Rose or the one John Calipari hired to take his ACT for him?

That I didn't know, and I do apologize. But, these are people not associated with OSU, and are just general SEC people who have their ears to the ground about these things.

I think you bring up a good point, actually. His entire recruitment seemed sketchy. Loved Michigan for a long time, things seemed normal, then his Ohio visit happened and Urban cooled on him. That's extremely weird for a coach to cool on a 5-star player who's interested enough to take an official to their school a month before signing day. Combine that with Auburn coming out of nowhere (for a long time it was either UM or Arkansas) and their past run-ins with the NCAA (and the whole SEC thing).
This isn't sour grapes, I don't care about the kid anymore.
February 7th, 2012 at 5:17 PM ^
Once you get past the grouchy posters with thousands of "points", you'll find people that appreciate outside sources from other teams. Don't worry about the internet tough guys around here!

We believe *Urban Meyer* trashing a kid by leaking to certain slanted, biased site that said kid wanted a job for his mom in return for services? Urban Meyer and his staff, you're going to believe them? GTFO.
February 7th, 2012 at 5:04 PM ^
Appreciate you contribution to the boards. What are you thoughts on the recent players who left the Alabama working with the banned booster to sell autographs?
February 7th, 2012 at 6:27 PM ^
I think the NCAA needs to investigate it, because it warrants it. I think a lot of people at Alabama just see the greater good, and they don't see what has been done to get there, wrong or not. I earnestly think it deserves to be investigated. Sorry it took me so long to respond, I had a last minute client.

I saw an article that Florida and Georgia were recruiting a kid and his gradfather ran a church. And that the coaches went to church with the player. And the church was suprised when they go a sizeable donation in the offering from Muschamp. What is legal and what is not?
February 8th, 2012 at 8:49 AM ^
My experience is either you love Michigan and what they stand for or you don't.
Diamond was certainly looking for MORE than Michigan could offer.

Diggs is a terd that won't flush.
February 7th, 2012 at 3:55 PM ^
A stubborn floater of a turd.

Greg Mattison is rivals.com Big10 recruiter of the year!
http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1328597
Buzz: It did not take Mattison long to shake off the recruiting rust after spending three years in the NFL. The former Baltimore Raven's defensive coordinator stepped in and immediately made an impact in the final month of the 2011 recruiting class, then came out and started the 2012 class on fire, landing commitments from eight prospects (one five-star, five four-stars and two three-stars) before the end of July. The crown jewel in that group was five-star offensive tackle Kyle Kalis, whom Mattison was able to flip from Big Ten rival Ohio State, then hold onto after Urban Meyer came to Columbus and tried to re-recruit Kalis back the Buckeyes. With the addition of Cleveland (Ohio) Glenville three-star defensive tackle Willie Henry in the final week of the process, Mattison was the lead or secondary recruiter in nine of the Wolverine's 25 signees in the 2012 class.

I bet it's Auburn.
February 7th, 2012 at 4:18 PM ^
either Florida or Ohio.
February 7th, 2012 at 4:19 PM ^
now THIS is a worthless thread.

Is Flo Rida any relation to Will.I.Am?
February 7th, 2012 at 4:35 PM ^
February 7th, 2012 at 5:20 PM ^
Both JC Shurburtt and Steve Wiltfong over on 247 seem to think its Maryland
February 7th, 2012 at 5:38 PM ^
That's where I hope he goes most. Not Ohio for obvious reasons, and Maryland is the least relevant nationally than the others.
February 7th, 2012 at 6:08 PM ^
Really hope this is right, ESPN's Jared Shanker seems to think he's going to OSU.
February 7th, 2012 at 6:19 PM ^
This is in alignment with Meyer saying he has got 81 schollies, which implies room for one more.
February 8th, 2012 at 12:17 AM ^
Midwest recruiting analyst? He lives in Columbus and only writes about Ohio. In his B1G recruiting summary he talked about what an amazing job Urban did. Then for Michigan he said they really benefited from the Ohio scandal and lack of coach. Implied it was all luck of circumstance. Funny how he didn't mention Ohio benefiting from the PSU dumpster fire.
February 7th, 2012 at 5:53 PM ^
HOPE HE PICKS OHIO SO Blake can shut him DOWN.GO BLUE!!!
February 7th, 2012 at 6:25 PM ^
I think your caps lock key is seriously broken.
February 7th, 2012 at 6:49 PM ^
So, Diggs is deciding between 3 schools. Two of the three are known to have fans who are more than willing to do what ever it takes to "help" recruit 5 star players. Good Luck Maryland, better hope Under Armor opens it's check book.

BREAKING NEWS: 5* ATH Stefon Diggs will sign with Ohio State friday, sources close to Good Counsel football and Diggs' family tell me.
February 7th, 2012 at 8:58 PM ^
That guy has like 50 followers. But a Ozone "insiders" said the samething yesterday. This what not be good, not be good at all. Look at it however you want, but Urban+Stafon+Braxton+Jalin Marshall= Lethal
February 8th, 2012 at 8:11 AM ^
Diggs does go to OSU, it shouldn't be that much of an issue. I mean when will he get the ball? Meyer is clearly building his offense around Dunn.
February 7th, 2012 at 9:00 PM ^
Please, that guy has like 60 followers.
February 7th, 2012 at 9:23 PM ^
I don't care if stefon picks Ohio; the game still has to be played on the field.

Thanks for your contributions. It won't be much longer, before you'll have enough points to start your own threads. Your insight is appreciated.
