can breathe.
February 6th, 2013 at 10:57 AM ^
Wow could it be any more obvious at Ole Miss? They now have 4 5-stars.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:02 AM ^
Ole Miss is going to make a great ESPN 30 for 30 some day.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:08 AM ^
February 6th, 2013 at 11:12 AM ^
Wright Thompson?
February 6th, 2013 at 11:17 AM ^
There is already. It is about how the whites at Ole Miss hate blacks all the time except during football season. But aside from that, what black athlete wouldn't want to go play for them?
February 6th, 2013 at 3:22 PM ^
But green.

Al Golden complaining about NCAA investigation on ESPN. Everyone knows they are dirty whether the NCAA proves it or not. They are also now in the middle of a steroid scandal as well. Sseeing how they signed 33 guys last year I have no sympathy what so ever.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:07 AM ^
I have no problem with them signing 33 guys if they had the room for them.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:10 AM ^
The fact that they were able to sign 33 guys last year and a highly rated class at that would seem to indicate that the investigation isn't the main reason there recruting sucks this year. If anything they are under less of a cloud this year then they were last year as far as future NCAA sanctions. I think Golden is using it as an excuse for his poor recruiting class.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:05 AM ^
Ole Miss will be the New USC.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:11 AM ^
February 6th, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
Go fuck yourself.
(said in as nicely a way as possible, FWIW)
February 6th, 2013 at 11:05 AM ^
How do the Buckeyes have room for this big of a class within the scholarship limits? I know 82 isn't that much less than 85, but still, it seems like they are going to have to shove people out the door (which, of course Meyes would, but I'm just wondering).
February 6th, 2013 at 11:08 AM ^
Assuming Elliot signs with them, I believe they will be at 85. So either they know of people who are leaving, or they don't have room.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:12 AM ^
The last time there was a sudden surprising haul of 5*'s was Auburn (when Cam got paid, sorry, when Cam's dad got paid). And we all know how that turned out... wait...
February 6th, 2013 at 11:13 AM ^
No, Clemson had one a couple of years ago. IIRC, they had two 5*s commit on NLI day and had 4 overall.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:13 AM ^
What a reversal of recruiting fortures by these 2 in the last 30 days or so.
Football blue blood takes a nosedive while 3rd tier program rockets into the top group. Sanctioned powerhouse crippled while soon-to-be sanctioned school flies.
Crazy stuff.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:19 AM ^
It would be one thing if these 5-stars were from Mississippi, but pulling the #1 receiver to Ole Miss from Illinois?
February 6th, 2013 at 11:19 AM ^
No, no you got it all wrong. Michigan just wasn't showing the "love" towards LT that was needed to make him feel special inside.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:23 AM ^
Indeed. Ole Miss losing 16 straight SEC games must have made him feel really special.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:20 AM ^
Anyone have a good current website that shows who is going where? I tried the Rivals page but it doesn't appear to be updating very quickly.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:21 AM ^
Twitter will give you the most recent info. mgoblue.com has a page dedicated to this and I consider that the official word.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:35 AM ^
I agree with JoeyB. Just click HERE and refresh when you have a hankering for an update.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:20 AM ^
Glad to see the NCAA sanction appropriately punished Ohio. So they had one "tough \" year and will now be better than they were in the Tressel years. Sounds fair.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:21 AM ^
Let's just see how good they will be. Tressel was pretty darn good, albeit dirty as hell, but good. Meyer hasn't won a thing yet.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:23 AM ^
February 6th, 2013 at 11:27 AM ^
No conference title, no bowl victory. In this sport, that's all that matters.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:29 AM ^
He won the division.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:30 AM ^
So like I said, he didn't win anything.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:30 AM ^
So like I said, he didn't win anything.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:35 AM ^
February 6th, 2013 at 11:38 AM ^
We haven't won a bowl game in a decade?
February 6th, 2013 at 11:42 AM ^

Why the SEC dominates...
Rivals Rankings:
Three of the top five teams are SEC schools
Five of the top ten teams are SEC schools
Eight of the top fiften teams are SEC schools
Thirteen of the top thirty teams are SEC schools
Only Missouri is on the outside looking in.
By comparison the Big Ten has:
One team in the top five
Two teams in the top ten
Three teams in the top thirty.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:27 AM ^
Add Juco's, medical redshirts, and oversigning and you get SEC dominance.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:24 AM ^
or are there any last second recruits we take like Norfleet?
February 6th, 2013 at 11:33 AM ^
Mgoblue has a chart with three empty cells, and we have three players we're waiting on for LOI's, so that should be it. (Also, it doesn't seem we'd have room for any more kids.)
February 6th, 2013 at 11:26 AM ^
Misunderstood the post.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:27 AM ^
So the two NCs he won at Florida are a mirage?
February 6th, 2013 at 11:28 AM ^
I thought it was pretty obvious that I was referring to his time at OSU.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:29 AM ^
He did win 12 games last year. It's fairer to say he hasn't lost anything yet...
February 6th, 2013 at 11:32 AM ^
The point is that comparion Meyer to Tressel right now is ridiculous. Tressel won the Big Ten just about every year, and was in the title game 3 times. Meyer has one division title in a year that PSU wasn't even eligible. I'm not going to slobber all over him until I see him win something that actually matters.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:39 AM ^
February 6th, 2013 at 11:43 AM ^
I'm not arguing that the start has been bad.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:52 AM ^
I get what you're saying but I think the writing on the wall is clear - Ohio is going to be very formitable under Meyer. I was hoping the end of Tressel would cause Ohio to rebuild but they haven't skipped a beat.
February 6th, 2013 at 12:02 PM ^
I'm clinging to the fact that Meyer hasn't stayed anywhere longer than five years, IIRC. In my more optimistic moments, I'm hoping he'll be like Brett Favre with the Vikings: past his glory days, comes in with momentum, crushes souls at first and then runs out of gas and ends up facedown and unconcious on the turf (figuratively speaking in Meyer's case since if he ended up in that position it would likely be because of a heart attack). Also, OSU's schedule was a joke this year and they gave up a ton of points to Indiana. Not having an elite defense will catch up with him sooner or later. Cling to these small bits of hope and ride out the Meyer storm.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:38 AM ^
Poggi's is in. The Alabama fretting can finally cease.
McCray's is in too.
