This is almost a clear indication, that losing an asst. coach, and great recruiter can impact the current recruiting class.

We will be fine going forward as he was replaced by a very good coach/recruiter, but the immediate impact of losing Vrabel is felt with Thomas.
I love the word IMPACT. Really? Losing one player (not that OSU even had him btw!!) is not "impact". This will not affect OSU to the point of "impact".

Could Knox looking around again at UCLA and Texas have anything to do with Brady Taylor?!

Why? If anything, he should be embracing another lineman committing. On the Oline more than any other position, the sum is greater than the parts, so it stands that Taylor would only make him better. jmo.

That's true and a mature response. Would all 17/18 year olds think this way? Or are they short sighted and only concerned with playing time and getting to the league over having a selfless team first attitude. Don't know where Knox falls but we'll see I suppose.

I wouldn't think he'd overly concerned with Brady Taylor.

I don't see this as anything more than All Expense paid trip to LA.

Looks like Mike Mitchell is transferring to be closer to his sick father.

Damn, I was really excited to see this kid play this fall, but I can understand his reasoning...too bad.

Damn...hate to see him go, but don't blame him at all. I imagine this means his brother will also stay close to home too.

If you didn't read the comments, Birm said it's likely that he will take time off from football, no matter where he goes. Must be a terrible situation for his father.

Definitely going to leave the door open for McMillen to make an early impact.

Supposedly it's just a cleanup and he will be ready for spring ball

Yeah. It is his throwing arm though. But sounds very, very minor.

I really feel this is a big setback the one aspect of his game that needs the most work is his passing. I don't like to see any time where this can not be improving. I hope he has a fast recovery.

He tweaked something in the Clemson game. I haven't seen any details. It's just a scope. Nothing major at all. He'll be fine.
