Jabari Parker looked really, really good yesterday. Finally getting back in shape. Really wish MSU would have been able to land him for the sole reason of another injection of talent into the conference.

 

Vonleh is going to be Indiana's best all around player next year. Probably the best overall recruit Indiana has nabbed since Big George (according to a few old-timers). Hard to believe with Gordon/Jefferies.

Michigan expecting/hoping for a commitment today from top RB Derrick Green.

 

 

gotta outspend two SEC schools but it would be nice to see a kid choose a non SEC school for once.

He announced for Michigan about 10 minutes ago. I think he's been a Michigan lean for awhile. FSU tried to get in late. Obviously coaching changes at Tennessee and Auburn didn't hurt.

 

Here is how his ranking breaks down:

 

Scout #1 5-star

Rivals #1 5-star

ESPN #5 4-star

24/7 #8 4-star

24/7's composite ranking #4 5-star

He's legit good get. Grew up a Buckeye fan but Urban took Elliott instead. Smith and Green is a good RB haul but that class really needed a good WR.

You're half right. Needed a really good RB and a really good WR. :) For a long time thought we were going to get Treadwell, but that went south (pun intended!)

Smith already is a very good RB. Now you have two. I assume you are about done at this point right? For the first time in years we have multiple signing day announcements to watch.

There are some rumors we can go to 29 (at 27 now), but I'm not sure how. We have several early enrollees, but I believe only 3 can be back counted to last year. Not sure how they would go to 29, but a couple of guys are coming off injuries and one of the scholly's is for a long snapper, so who knows what they could do. My guess is we may take one more. They are making a run at TE Durham Smythe (down to Michigan, ND and Stanford), they could take a 7th OL in Cameron Hunt, but my guess is he won't want to get into an over-crowded class. And they may have a surprise up their sleeves. The past couple of years, they've pulled in Dennis Northfleet, Willie Henry and Jake Ryan late. All were surprises. Jake Ryan has panned out quite well.

Who is left out there for OSU? Who are the top guys and what kind of chances do you have? Scout lists Elliott as a soft verbal. Is there any chance Missouri flips him or is anyone else shaky?

Dontre Wilson

James Clark

Von Bell

Corey Smith

Cam Hunt

Skipper

Timmons

 

Clark and Wilson are on officials right now. Rumors thought he may be close to flipping.

 

I would be shocked if Elliott flipped, they change status to soft verbal when they take visits. His family said he's solid.

Gotcha. I didn't know he was visiting Missouri until today. It's funny how teams recruit different players. The only two guys I've heard of on that list are Cameron Hunt and Dan Skipper.

They are serious players especially Von bell. These types of guys usually wouldn't be visiting OSU this late under the previous regime.

Corey Smith is in. Still waiting on Bell, and hopefully Wilson.

 

Elliott and Johnson apparently reaffirmed to OSU.

So UM got Derrick Green. Illinois is going to be garbage for the foreseeable future, but the UM-OSU matchups should be pretty epic soon. I will now have a reason again to watch B1G football (besides the occasional gambling).

 

Sorry, didn't see the last page. Doh.
