I'm still trying to figure out why some people don't understand sarcasm.

Just saw OSU just offered Brandon Ferns of St. Clairsville, Ohio. I don't know much about him, though I do know his brother (Michael) was a highly touted recruit who came out of nowhere one summer by attending a bunch of camps. I've seen his brother play a few times and never came away impressed. Michael chose UM, I'm thinking Brandon chooses OSU, and hoping he is better.

whatever makes you feel better about yourself. He is a kid from near my hometown and I hope he does well. I just don't think he is that good of a football player. So does everyone else who has seen him play. I'd be surprised to see him ever turn into more than a special teams player. But then again, Michigan blows so...

Per ari wasserman cleveland. Com-After his (Torrance Gibson) last visit to Tennessee, has renamed them his leader.
Has also moved ohio state to last on his list. Mentions he can't remember the last time he has seen an ohio state coach or talked to one. Has made zero effort to make a trip up to columbus. This situation looks bleak

George Hill commits to Ohio State this weekend. Consensus 4-star RB for the class of 2016. Big get.

That is a good. He'll need to pack on some bulk though. 185 pounds is kinda small for a D1 RB.

True, and Archie Griffin was only 188 pounds but even in the early 70's, that was small for a RB. We'll see how that pans out.

He would be OU's best RB in history.

guys, believer is just trolling whenever he makes comments on an OSU board, even if he tries to sound sincere..ignore him, and maybe, just maybe, he'll go away.

2016 Sciotoville East (Portsmouth, Ohio) offensive guard Tyler Gerald verbally committed to Ohio State. It's the sixth commitment in the past 11 days for the Buckeyes, and Gerald becomes the second pledge in OSU's 2016 recruiting class. The 6-foot-5, 300-pound guard joins Hubbard, Ohio's George Hill, who announced his decision this past weekend.
Gerald, the state's eighth-ranked player in 2016, chose Ohio State over Virginia Tech, where he developed an excellent relationship with the Hokies new offensive line coach Stacy Searels. Despite his relationship with Searels, Gerald couldn't turn down the chance to fulfill a childhood dream and a chance to play for the Buckeyes.

After an impressive camp performance that landed him a scholarship offer, cornerback Denzel Ward wasted no time, committing to Ohio State on the spot today.

The Denzel Ward File

  • Size: 5-11/165
  • School: Nordonia (Macedonia, OH)
  • Position: CB
  • Class: 2015
  • Composite: ★★★
  • Rank: 50 (CB)

The three-star corner chose the Buckeyes over offers from Cincinnati, Indiana, Kentucky, Rutgers, Syracuse and others.
Ward is the ninth member of Ohio State's class of 2015 and the second camp commitment of the day for the Buckeyes, joining four-star class of 2016 offensive lineman Tyler Gerald, who committed 20 minutes earlier

If the class fills up and a better recruit, like a 5 star guy decides to come to Ohio State. What happens if they have no room for him? Do they just take a scholly away from a lesser talent?
