Yea, for some reason it doesn't seem like he was ever in OSU's plans. It's refreshing to see a guy sticking to his guns.WebFire;996110 wrote:Actually I would say he is. He committed and he's sticking to it. That's what a commitment is, you know?

Just because Troy Smith was the last player taken in that OSU class, doesn't mean he wasn't a huge get. Kid was an elite 11 participant.

Good for him. I'd love to play for a school that is 0-2 in BCS bowls and has zero chance of ever winning anything that anyone outside of South Bend cares about. That's what ND recruits, players who don't want to compete at a real school.WebFire;996110 wrote:Actually I would say he is. He committed and he's sticking to it.

Those were changed after he won the Heisman so Rivals and Scout didn't get called up for underestimating a Heisman winner.

Is that part of Meyer's recruiting philosophy? Why would he be trying to talk to committed guys then?

Some kids like to go to schools that will not only allow them to play football, but will teach them. You're just upset you couldn't get into the Mendoza College and had to go to Fisher.

I guess you're right, other than than Notre Dame's ROI being far superior to Ohio State's. He's winning for life with that choice.rightfield;996047 wrote:Its his loss. Winning isn't as big a deal with some kids as with others. Thankfully most talented kids like to win championships.

0-3 is worse than 0-2, I don't see why that matters.

Notre Dame's ROI clearly indicates that it's a better college. Fisher is good, but it isn't elite. Sorta like Notre Dame and Ohio State in football, only reversed. Only winning in business sets you up for life, whereas the <1% of the guys who even make it to the NFL, 80% end up broke shortly after due to an unsustainable lifestyle. Smart guys make the better decisions for their life.
You didn't apply because you knew you couldn't get in.

Meyer got tons of 4* & 5* recruits at Florida. An amazingly high percentage of them were flops.

Exactly. At Ohio State, your recruiting ranking does not matter, you will be transformed into a perennial All-Star via our coaching staff and our academic/ethical philosophy.Speedofsand;996378 wrote:Meyer got tons of 4* & 5* recruits at Florida. An amazingly high percentage of them were flops.

While I don't go to Notre Dame, I can truthfully say that they don't have my program. Being that it's a small school and all, they don't offer everything.

are you including in the ROI the fact that if they go to ND, they're less likely to get to the NFL than if they go to OSU? If you're a top tier athlete, I'd want to include that in any potential ROI calculation a school is throwing my way.Tobias Fünke;996385 wrote:You may not, but clearly the prospects continue to take notice.

Cool. Notre Dame is now Duke, but with more arrogance. They don't recruit players that want to win, they recruit losers that want to be successful off the field. It's not the coach, you could bring in Vince Lombardi himself and Notre Dame still would never touch the top tier of college athletics. Enjoy!Tobias Fünke;996385 wrote:You may not, but clearly the prospects continue to take notice.

Fisher really is better than Mendoza. Notre Dame just throws more money at Forbes and US news, while Ohio State takes that money and invests it in better teachers and stronger infrastructure and technology.derek bomar;996398 wrote:are you including in the ROI the fact that if they go to ND, they're less likely to get to the NFL than if they go to OSU?
