Big Gain;985620 wrote:Prediction, Urban Meyer will make it to more BCS titles games at Ohio State than at Florida. The reason he left Florida to coach at Ohio State.

There are three States that clearly have greener recruiting pastures than Ohio.
Florida - The top recruits are divided up between Florida, Florida State and Miami.
California - Cal, UCLA, Stanford, USC
Texas - Texas A&M, Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor, Houston, Texas, Rice and Oklahoma and Arkansas get a few.
Then comes Ohio - Ohio State and............nobody.

That's why ND, U of M and MSU get good players from Ohio. The number of 4 and 5 Star players lost will decrease with Meyer.

Meyer will have greater success recruiting the South than Tressell.

THE #1 reason? At Florida Meyer had to go through: Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Georgia, Arkansas and South Carolina to get to the BCS Title game.
In The Big Ten: Wisconsin?, Michigan?, Nebraska? Penn State? Iowa? Michigan State? Which path is more favorable?

krambman;985628 wrote:While I disagree with most of the content of your post, I do agree with the concept. Meyer will be able to put up a wall around Ohio as successfully as (if not better than) Tressel did, and he will have success throughout the Midwest. He will also be able to recruit in the south, and particularly in the state of Florida, better than Tressel did because of the connections he built in that region while coaching at Florida.

Also, as has already been pointed out, since OSU has more varsity sports than any other school in the country it serves to reason that they would also commit more total violations. I'd be interested to see how many they reported per sport.

Plus, he's simply not qualified to BE a coach. He has done none of the legwork most coaches go through before landing a spot on a staff at a school like OSU.

Just found that comment interesting. Either Kirk thinks that highly of the SEC, that low of the B1G, or a little of both.

krambman;985876 wrote:Probably a little of both. It's clear watching college football the past few years that the SEC and B1G are the only conferences that consistently play defense, and the SEC has probably been a little better at it than the B1G recently. While he is being a bit hyperbolic, he's probably right that if it worked in the SEC it should work on the B1G, and if it doesn't, I think he's smart enough (read: smarter than RichRod) to make changes to his system to be effective in the B1G.

He's from Ohio, coached under Earl Bruce, and was given the chance to turn Ohio State around.
