TonyStalloni Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Will be interesting to watch. That's two guys (Joe Burrow being the other) who we probably could have gotten but passed on. Time will tell. Two guys who both commit to OSU. Our coaches will either be the hero or the goat. This may be the first year we are ahead of OSU in recruiting ratings (for whatever that is worth.) Bo better hope he has some good kids left on the radar who commit. I've been strongly in support of our coaches recruiting efforts in the past 2 or 3 years. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt but I'm scratching my head. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 There's obviously something we don't like about him. We've offered quite a few OTs lately. Guess he will have to prove us (and me) wrong. Watch his hudl film from his junior year. He just looks like a tall, good athlete. He's not really a great football player. Standing straight up, letting guys get into his chest, giving up on blocks, not initiating contact, grabbing because his hips are in poor position. There are much better players on our list considering the numbers game. I agree. I've been pretty vocal about him being overrated, and I'm glad he's going to OSU. Not sure what they see in him. Iowa and Wisconsin completely backed off of him as well. Not sure what's up, bit I have a feeling he won't sign with OSU in the end. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Considering Urban is often held up at one of the best recruiters in the nation, it will be interesting to hear the reaction if Bo ends up being right. Quote Link to comment

Thanks_Tom RR Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Considering Urban is often held up at one of the best recruiters in the nation, it will be interesting to hear the reaction if Bo ends up being right.I like this scenario better!When you look at who else didn't offer, Wisky and Iowa, it makes you wonder how Ohio St's evaluation of Schmidt is so different from three B1G programs with Schmidt in their backyard.

HUSKER FREAK Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I really don't want to see the kid fail though. I just find it interesting that we didn't offer and Ohio St. did. Oh well we will see I guess. Just makes me wonder if he had already said that he doesn't want to come here regardless of an offer so we didn't waste our or his time. Quote Link to comment

He's been here a few times, it seemed like he wanted an offer and was very interested. I think if we would have offered he would have jumped on it. Garrison knows what he wants and he can get them here to boot. We will be just fine on the oline. The way it's looking we will have one of the top oline classes in the country next year.

Yeah I guess people including me look to far in to things once in a while. I guess it is totally possible that he just didn't fit the profile that we want. Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Apparently he might wind up at Cincinnati Quote Link to comment
SODAKSKERSFAN20 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Always thought Farniok was more dominant in HS but that Schmidt would be a better tackle in college. Don't get me wrong I think Farniok will be great but I think he fits better at guard. Just my opinion of course. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 I was always curious why our former coaching staff soured on this player and what OSU saw that we didn't. He was ours for the taking and almost begging for a chance. Quote Link to comment
