Urban at this morning's Ohio Coaches Clinic:
"You're pissed because we went after a committed guy? Guess what, we got 9 guys who better go do it again. Do it a little harder next time."

It's amazing how different the recruiting strategies of Meyer and Tress are, and they actually both work well. I like Meyers way, because it shows aggressiveness that will translate into all parts of the program, something I think was lacking during the Tressel years.

i think a lot of the aggressiveness is because of the scholarship loss they are going to have the next few years, they need the body's and even if a 4 star does not exactly fit what he is trying to do he will take them this year, very good job this year from urban IMO.

Also, the thing I liked most about most of the committed players he poached, Ohio guys.

Strengthening that proverbial fence around the state.

I think aggressiveness is just Meyers nature. It's also in the nature of alot of the guys he hired and retained.

Here is a very good article on the situation with Beilema and others in Big Ten. I also think its a good article in terms of what the guy says as far as what goes on in the Big Ten compared to SEC. Thus as I mentioned earlier, maybe one of the major reasons the SEC is where its at currently.
IMO, the hell with that gentleman BS. If the Big Ten or any other conference wants to close that gap with the SEC, then you better get after it as long as its legal.

As long as the kid who changes his mind is up front and honest with coaching staffs, and doesn't pull any signing-day, look at me BS, then I have no problem with it.

Not to mention these guys that he flipped were either from Ohio or previously committed to Penn State. Don't see any problem there.

Meyer also said that they passed on an out of state WR "at the last second" because his last step is out of bounds. They want guys who finish hard.

My take.

Neal's dad is an asshole.

They are in front for diggs and would rather get him or nothing.

What Nevada says is that they told Neal to hold off (because of Diggs) and then Neal's dad started going off on the staff, so they cut ties.

I have a friend who actually knows Nevada, so I don't always have exactly what he posts, just what he says in "private" (just one on one convos)

Yeah, he didn't even go as far to say there was a misstep, just that they moved on.
