Bad decision by the OSU assistants to Tweet that stuff. Just a secondary violation, but this program doesn't need any negative press.

Judging from the latest news, those Tweets were because Quick picked Louisville. Hopefully that's not the case. Would be nice to get Mitchell AND Quick tomorrow, but it looks like it might just be Mitchell.

Yeah, I agree, don't need to give anyone any ammo against OSU. Also, Roby and Braxton tweeted the names of the recruits. Is that a violation?

Because Louisville has had first round picks.

I'm not sure. Does it matter if they were already committed? Those guys were tweeting about the guys who were already OSU commits. I really have no idea. NCAA rules are crazy and complicated. The tweets by the coaches may not even be violations since they weren't actually sent to Quick, and are somewhat vague.

Something similar happened with Diggs last year and everyone got worried. Nothing came of that and I find it extremely hard to believe something could come from this.

LOI not signed yet. Technically OSU doesn't have any official commits at this time from an NCAA perspective.

Those make it seem like he committed to OSU, but why would Ohio State coaches "ruin" the surprise of his announcement by tweeting out hints? I should just not get on the Internet until after the AA game tomorrow. lol

Edit: Was the first tweet about Johnson committing though? And the second one urging Quick to come to OSU? That kind of makes sense.

No idea but trey Johnson committing wasn't a surprise either. There are very few surprises anymore because so many ppl get info..

I don't think they would tweet anything illegal nor do I think Dave Biddle would then retweet it to draw more attention to a violation.

Harry Douglas is the only Louisville receiver that has ever been good in my lifetime, and I'm pretty sure he was a 2nd or 3rd rounder for the Falcons.

I won't blame quick at all for staying home. And I love our class even without him. Plus if he goes to UL, corn elder probably commits soon.

But if he does committ to UL, coach smith will look like a sore loser and stupid.

The coaches tweet a lot and it's usually enjoyable. But I don't wanna see them get caught up in the moment and tweet something stupid. They've gotta be better then that.

Idk why recruits commit to a coach they know will leave within a year or two. No way will Strong be at Louisville for more than that.

Oh no doubt. But a kid believes what he's told. And you know strong isn't saying, well who knows if I'll be here your whole 4 years.

@marcushartman: CB U was one of those things that slipped during the Tressel era. Maybe because they hired a CB coach with no experience at that job

Slipped? We had pretty good CB under Tressel including Gamble, Jenkins, and like 10 other CB drafted

If that isn't one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. Tress had the same number of Torpe award winners (1) and more 1st team All Americas and the same number of consensus 1st team all americas as Cooper did. Tress had more if you include Safties
