From rivals chat about jennings.
Mike Farrell: Brian in Richmond, VA -- he hasn't even hinted, most think it's between UVA and Wake.

Jennings has mentioned wanting to play WR, OSU sees him as a DB I believe.

Well so far today we kept Price and lost Walker and gained Jones. I will be dissapointed if walker turns out to be a stud OT because that is what we need. I am not sure if he will be exactly that or not. Only time will tell.

I am ready to move to the main event in C Grant. I don't think there is anyone saying he is going anywhere but OSU. Lets hope that is the case.

I think we are 2 -5

Price and Jones. signed.

Story has eliminated us for almost a week now. Jennings went from a good chance to slight chance for about 2 weeks.

Obviously the huge loss (literally) is Walker. In my mind we are 2-3.

So far everything has been very predictable (except Walker who was a toss up).

If things continue this way, we will have Grant and be done at 23.

Now we must sit around and wait for 4 hours.

I have heard Glasgow is preferred walkon and likely to choose the Bucks unless he receives a scholly from somewhere else.

Either way, we are slated to have 11 scholarship OL next season and 4 will be seniors. That is weak. Next years class will be no more than 20 and we will need at least 6 of those to be OL IMO.

I agree, be at least we have Kalis (edit: and Boren) already locked up. There are a lot of athletic linemen out there for next year where this year seemed to be more big maulers.

The good thing is, other than maybe a spot or 2 for WR, we should be able to focus almost completely on OL/DL. LB's, RB's, and DB's are pretty well set.

Yes, Guards this year, Tackles next year. And Kalis is a monster. I would not be surprised if he starts at RT from day one in 2012. I like the prospects of him and Norwell as our tackles. In fact, I like our projected starters beyond 2011, just no depth.

Walker heading out west wasn't really much of a surprise to me. He gave every indication that he wasn't the typical OSU-Glenville recruit.

If we close with Grant, I'll be thrilled.

75 Adams, Mike OL 6-8 300 Jr. Dublin, Ohio (Dublin Coffman)
50 Brewster, Michael OL 6-5 293 Jr. Orlando, Fla. (Edgewater)
79 Hall, Marcus OL 6-5 321 So. Cleveland, Ohio (Glenville)
71 Linsley, Corey OL 6-2 298 Fr. Youngstown, Ohio (Boardman)
74 Mewhort, Jack OL 6-6 288 Fr. Toledo, Ohio (St. John’s)
78 Norwell, Andrew OL 6-5 308 Fr. Cincinnati, Ohio
76 Shugarts, J.B. OL 6-7 297 Jr. Klein, Texas (Klein)


I only see 3 that will be seniors next year.

Our Fresh OL next year will be

Underwood
Bobeck
Brown
Carter

Don't forget some people think Chase Farris would be our best OL recruit if we recruited him as such. If it turns out that tackle is a huge need he could possibly switch.

Another guy that could play offense in an emergency situation. Though I think he will be a beast on the DL.
