Chisoxfn Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 08:43 AM) If a kid wants to stay there, they most likely are going to stay there, if none of these events had changed their mind a couple coaches won't do it. Illinois/any school recruiting there is for the kids who WANT to transfer, which I'm assuming is a vast majority of them. People are literally preventing the kids that dont' want anything to do with this from leaving the athletic facilities. It is pathetic. It is one thing if you reach out to a player who previously showed interest or you leave a call, but to seriously stalk every football player that comes out, thats pathetic, disgusting, and slimy.

WHarris1 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Jeremy Werner @WernerConnectFM Illini assistants waited at a restaurant in State College - off PSU campus - for players that wanted to talk to them. Jeremy Werner @WernerConnectFM #illini Tim Beckman said 8 assistants were in State College but not on the PSU campus. They didn't go to players, had players come to them. Jeremy Werner @WernerConnectFM #illini Tim Beckman said 2 PSU players contacted him before he pursued. Had previous relationships with players when recruited at Toledo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kickoffs go up to the 35 yard line with no running starts for the kicking team, and touchbacks on free kicks will be brought out to the 25 now. Also, if any player loses his helmet during a play, they HAVE to leave the field for at least one play or it is a 15 yard penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that would be pretty fun. Last year's game pretty much sucked. Both teams were pretty bad and the game was very uneventful for the most part. Going to to tough with these 9 league conference games coming up. Your team does play UCF this year. I dont think OSU should be worried but I think UCF will atleast provide a good test to see where your team is at going into conference play. I know George O'Leary and Meyer dont care for each other so it might make things a little more interesting. UCF has a RB named Storm Johnson who spent a year at Miami under Shannon before Golden ran him off. He is really talented and would be without question the Miami starter if he didnt transfer.

UCF is going to be a sleeper team this year, I suspect they are bowl bound and a decent one at that. Yeah both of us sucked coming off good seasons and are kind of on the uptick. In a year or two would have been good timing especially since we lost the Vols and the Pac 12 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are headed to the Big East next year so they could have used the extra 10-15 practices in December. UCF is appealing but I doubt anything will come of it and nor should anything come from it. They deserve the ban, just sucks for them since they had high expectations. Easier to take a bowl ban when your team is headed to some third-tier bowl(ex. Miami last year).

Regardless, that will be a big loss on the field (even if you guys have depth to fill the void). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, that will be a big loss on the field (even if you guys have depth to fill the void). It's a big loss in the return game. But honestly, the defense is so loaded this year that we should be fine, especially since whoever they plug in at the second corner gets to play across from Xavier Rhodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
