Cause from what Ellis is saying it’s because we can sell earlier playing time and we have the better connection. I also read that and in addition, his size being a better fit for the 3 - 4 OLB instead of a 4 - 3 DE. Quote Link to comment

This. Osu not real big on waiting for kids to develop physically to get on the field. At 205 would be tough to get him on field as a 43 DE until he puts some serious weight on. Kid will be a monster as a JOB. With his frame and athleticism he could give teams fits Quote Link to comment

They wanted to take these guys out of HS because they knew they had great potential. It looks like JJB is a better fit at Nebraska and OSU has other positions of need. 1 Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Picked up a couple more husk CB’s this morning, including one from an OSU writer. Also Wiltfong thinks we get him. 1 Quote Link to comment

Those are two examples but, traditionally, y'all are a lot like Oklahoma in the sense that you want to recruit the kids that are ready to play from day 1. Let me rephrase that, everyone wants to recruit the kids that are ready to play from day 1, the likes of tOSU and OU are just more successful at doing so.

r06ue1 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Excited, hope he signs (I think he will), he was high on my list from the start and when OSU came in I was worried we lost him, glad we didn't. As for the OLB vs DE, I think if he really was interested in Ohio State they would have taken him and developed him into a DE. Seeing as he had a good relationship with Frost and Co. and the chance of playing time this season, they were okay with him heading our way, besides, OSU is loaded and won't be missing him that badly.

Those guys are also from the beginning of Urb's regime. They kind of have their pick of the litter with guys these days. Hubbard was a 6'6 230 DE out of HS. Quote Link to comment

I think a respectable record next year could make for a pretty amazing recruiting class. 1 Quote Link to comment
