I think he could still end up at safety. Likely not at punter though.Midstate01;1207478 wrote:WR no doubt

No disrespect to the kid, but I don't even think the new staff would have given him a second look. I hope I am proven wrong, but I think Frank's best chance to contribute at OSU is on special teams.se-alum;1207426 wrote:Does this mean they expect Epitropolous(sp?) to be at WR or DB?

I agree that Urban wouldn't give him a second look. But this is what concerns me most about Urban and his staff. We love Ohio State because they win with local Ohio kids. Tressel was great at knowing which local kids would develop into elite college players. Urban has not been recruiting nearly as many Ohio kids. Now, I still want to win, but it won't be the same with a national roster.slcoach;1209120 wrote:No disrespect to the kid, but I don't even think the new staff would have given him a second look.

How many kids does Christian Okoye have and how old are they?

No that's how old Declan Sullivan was when he was negligently killed by Notre Dame, swept under the rug by ND adminstration, and ND was punished with a maximum fine of 70k. All the while, everyone kept their job, the parents were paid off to stay quiet and ND fans still haven't had anything to celebrate in 20 years.karen lotz;1211404 wrote:is that the answer to both parts of the question?

I don't disagree about OSU not giving him a second look. That being said, after personally watching the kid play, I think down the road he could develop into that possession type of WR similar so players like Sazenbacker. Although he is much bigger at 6'3", 200.slcoach;1209120 wrote:No disrespect to the kid, but I don't even think the new staff would have given him a second look.

For example, now we have about 8 of the 11 guys on the field being from Ohio and 3 from out of state. I see that ratio reversing under Urban.Pick6;1211425 wrote:We had a "national" roster before.

It will never be reversed, closer to 50/50 maybe... But Ohio is a top producing state for football talent

Sounds like Ohio State now leads for Mike Mitchell- 4 star LB from Texas.
Jayme Thompson posted on Twitter that "He'll commit to us next week" and Gerry Hamilton of 247 sports says "Ohio State should feel pretty good about Mike Mitchell right now." http://247sports.com/Board/30/Scoop-and-QA-live-from-The-Opening-10541271/26
Would be a huge pickup, and kind of out of nowhere...
