M-Borg vs. THE Flavortown U Thread, Orig. by Buckeye Paul, absconded w/by talent.

He's good. Using 247 rating scale, I'd say he's 89-90 range. He'll play for a major program. Oregon likes him a lit. So does Sparty.

They'll all be in the NFL after 3 years.

Yeah, I hope so. That would mean they probably met expectations. Cranking out NFL draft picks is a good thing. I doubt UFM will match NFL MACHINE, INC., but I think he can still do ok.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting the 2018 class going. The only drama left with the 2017 class is Shaun Wade/OL and, more generally, how many top 50 kids they can land. I think 10 is actually credible. I'm not sure I'd bet on it, but it wouldn't take much in the way of odds to get me there.

The class of 2018 could easily add another 6 top 50 players. That's the sort of quality depth that should keep OSU solidly in 2nd in the East. Plus, I love the quality of QBs they're bringing in. To have the likes of Haskins, Martell and Emory Jones -- with Danny Clark in their for good measure -- that's huge at such a huge impact position.

Re Honigford, lots of "buzz" that Wyatt Davis made him a "non-take."

Did you eat paint chips as a kid?

Had some with lunch.

Wyatt Davis will announce his verbal on Friday. This is completely in line with what I've been reading.

[SeattleLionsFan]

Congrats. I'll look forward to Gary embarrassing him. *crossing fingers*

[iam416]

Gary will embarrass a lot of players. OSU is in trouble.

Nobody loves a smartass, Talent! (with the possible exception of my wife).

[iam416]

I can confirm that. On both counts.

[Mike]

Me too!

A look at the 247Sports Composite top 50 players that, IMO, OSU has a "realistic" shot with:

4. Josh Myers - Verbal
5. Jeffrey Okudah
8. Baron Browning
13. Shaun Wade - Soft Verbal
14. Wyatt Davis -- Should be Verbal at 6pm
16. Cam Akers
28. Tyjon Lindsey
29. Trevon Grimes
32. Chase Young
33. Tate Martell -- Verbal
43. Isaiah Pryor -- Verbal
48. Trey Smith
50. JK Dobbins -- Verbal

Some are really favorable (Grimes, Okudah) awhile others are more along the lines of OSU being maybe a plurality favorite or co-favorite (Browning, Smith).

This is scary. Urban is a recruiting wizard.

Chase Young finally just comes out and says OSU is his leader.

I think 10.5 is the O/U for current top 50 composite players. Or 20%.
