OSU fans will be able to point and laugh at Kalis for 4 straight years.

I've watched him play probably 3-5 times a year since he was a Sophomore, and the kid can play. His heart was never set on being a Buckeye; he never embraced the school and the program, or he never would have listened to all those people talking in his ear. To me, his actions would leave me to question his commitment to any program. I don't wish him any bad luck or anything; I'm just glad he's not on our roster. He has to sit back and think, however... and wonder; when he looks at this incoming class for OSU.

Armani Reeves' commitment is HUGE.

Starters Travis Howard and Bradley Roby return, but after this season, both are draft eligible. Moreover, Doran Grant (soon-to-be-Sophomore) also returns, but his expected contributions are questionable at best (he was a star at SVSM, but he's yet to prove anything on the college level). After that, depth becomes VERY thin.

The wild card on the current roster is Corey Brown. Brown has been plagued with injuries throughout his career at OSU. It's still TBD if Brown is even a safety or a corner, making it tough to expect much from him moving forward.

As for incoming freshmen, Tyvis Powell and Najee Murray... Powell projects better as a safety and Murray as a corner / SS.

So you can see... Armani Reeves provides some MUCH needed depth and a bit of relief moving forward.

Sorry about that; yeah Kalis. i have some friends who send their kids to St.Edward, so we get together a few times a year and go to their games. He's definitely a talented player, but so was Boone when I watched him. I do think a player lined up across from that has some speed and good technique will give him problems, however.

LOL, I don't how I recognized the picture but when I clicked on your name it said you were a buckeye fan living in Hawaii so I figured it was you. I follow Bob Baptist for my OSU basketball news.

A lot of rumblings of Dodson to USC, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get any more for this class but I am hardly an expert on these things.

I heard they were now after a UCLA verbal which would point to them not being in the picture for Dodson.

Dodson will be a Buckeye. I'm fairly confident.

Same goes with Jamal Marcus.

Now Diggs and/or Neal... your guess is as good as mine.

I know USC got a verbal yesterday from Zach Banner, a 5* OT. That gives them two 5* and one 4* OL in their class. All per Rivals.

He just said language. But does he really think the students at Michigan don't cuss during sporting events. They are 18-22 year olds.. Lol.
