LB Javontae Jean-Baptiste [Ohio State - Signed LOI]

Urban Meyer is a trashman. 

Wouldn’t be the first pass rusher that he committed a violation with this cycle... MP

 Yup - I'm pretty sure Ohio State may not have been able to contact MP for a period of time if I'm not mistaken.

Well that sucks.  Definitely would have been a nice 1-2 with JJB and Tannor.

 

[SUHperman]

Come to Ohio State and you don’t even need to have a signing ceremony because we will just announce for you. f#*k Urban. Glad we got Tannor.

Think he kicks himself in a few years when he sees what Frost is doing here?

Only if he's not starting. I love Nebraska but OSU has recent championships.

I just think he's a much better fit in a 3-4 as an OLB rather than a 4-3 as a DE.  They're talking he needs to add 30-50 pounds to play DE at OSU.  If he added 10-20 pounds of muscle, with his skill set, he could have been a beast in a 3-4.  Oh well, maybe he'll do fine there.  I'm excited to see Tannor in that spot.

Honestly, I kinda hope Shiano was bluffing about staying just to lure kids in.  Then Friday, boom, he bolts for NFL.  Expose that snake pit for what it is.

Twitter suggests Schiano staying was the difference.... Might chuckle a bit when/if he ends up leaving for New England in a couple days

For me, winning this battle against OSU was bigger then winning the battle for Tannor against $EC schools.  So, this one hurts.

Still, we got a good player.  The rebuild would have been quicker with this guy.  Dude had a weird recruitment and in the end waffles on Frost & Company.

Moving on with Tannor.  Thankful.

Perhaps the Patriots will let JJB announce Schiano's hiring in a couple of days.

I would be shocked if Schiano is still at OSU past spring ball.

Was just saying that if he picked OSU based on his relationship with GS, then it was the wrong choice -- that dude is tryin' to get out of OSU any way he can.

If he is basing his decision on Schiano that is foolishness.  Even if Schiano hangs around this year that will probably be it.  He aint hanging around there as an assistant for very long.

No kidding.  From what I read they thought JJB was a little light and woud be a RS candidate to bulk up to play a 4-3 end.  Cant blame a kid for wanting to play DL at oSU though.
