Last year's OL class was alright and Boren is the only commit we have right now and who knows if he actually ends up on the OL. Kalis leaving stings but there's still hope with the guys you've mentioned. I still don't know why Kozan hasn't been offered yet. Dodson would make me a happy man if we could pry him out of Wisky's hands.

He thinks he wants to decommit after Tressel resigns, but Fickell convinces him to stay committed. Then he'll "stick with Ohio State as long as Fickell is the coach, and he'll step up as a leader to help finish out a great recruiting class", or something like that. Then he decommits, says that he's gonna wait and see what type of sanctions OSU actually gets, and then make a decision. Then, almost immediately, he commits to Michigan and begins to help recruiting for them.

Who the hell is advising this kid? If he truly wanted to be a Buckeye, he would wait and see what happens on August 12th. He has been an Ohio State fan his entire life, wants to be a Buckeye, and then all of the sudden he's all about Michigan? I guess I just can't fathom how you dump your "dream school" for their archrival before you know what type of sanctions the NCAA is going to hand out. Seems to me that Brady Hoke and UM staff may be selling him hard on the "OSU is gonna get hammered" stuff. If, I repeat IF, OSU gets light sanctions, and this kid wants to come to OSU again, I would tell him "We're all full" and proceed to kick his ass for four years.

OSU needs a good OL recruiting class NOW, or they're going to have to play a number of true freshmen in a couple years because of lack of depth.

I believe the Michigan-Ohio border is now open. I think you're going to see eight or nine guys from the state of Ohio going over to Michigan this year."

Wow, Kyle Kalis' stepdad just called into a radio show in Cleveland to say his son was "being manipulated by Brady Hoke."
