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

[Pasadena Blue]

Bucks pull it out... preserving the game for all the marbles in a month.

[Hannibal]

Clayton Thorsen used to suck until a few weeks ago. Apparently he ate a can of Spinach then.

[iam416]

He threw at least a dozen really nice balls yesterday.

[WM Wolverine]

In warm-ups?

[iam416]

You must not have watched.

[iam416]

So far this season Ohio State has had to play night games at: #8 Wisconsin, #12 Oklahoma and #20 Penn State. They have homes games looming against #2 Michigan and #9 Nebraska. And, shit, Tulsa is receiving votes.

[Jeff Buchanan]

Lest I remind you, your current moniker is entirely appropriate.

The end is near but, fuck me, your team will probably explode against M in a performance totally unlike the suck that has been demonstrated to date and you will be restored to your cheery, hopeful self.

In the mean time, I'm enjoying your tribulations.

Sincerely yours and Fuck osu.

[iam416]

I'm fine. The team is meeting the expectations I had for this season. I'm not in a "win this year or else" season. Like you.

[iam416]

OSU makes DPJ's top 5!!!!! Wooot!

More realistically, it seems like any player from Gorman that OSU wants, they'll get.

[The Oracle]

Congrats on Little Tate...they work well on the D1 level. You should be thrilled.

[iam416]

Oh snap. That's such an mgoblog hot take.

I'll need some more aloe!

[The Oracle]

Not familiar with the mgo thing you speak of.

[iam416]

Oh. Quite the coincidence, then. I can only assume you're also not familiar with Gorman. Understandable.

OSU recruiting has a fairly big weekend, though it's mostly a 2018-focused weekend.

A huge number of the 2017 class is visiting:

Quarterback • Tate Martell • Bishop Gorman • Las Vegas • ★★★★
Running back • J.K. Dobbins • La Grange • Texas • ★★★★
Wide receiver • Trevon Grimes • St. Thomas Aquinas • Florida • ★★★★★
Offensive line • Jake Moretti • Pomona • Colorado • ★★★★
Defensive back • Shaun Wade • Trinity Christian Academy • Florida • ★★★★★
Wide receiver • Tyjon Lindsey • Bishop Gorman • Las Vegas • ★★★★
Offensive line • Josh Myers • Miamisburg • Ohio • ★★★★★
Defensive tackle • Jerron Cage • Winton Woods • Ohio • ★★★★
Defensive end • Chase Young • DeMatha Catholic • Maryland • ★★★★★
Defensive back • Amir Riep • Colerain • Ohio • ★★★★
Athlete • Brendon White • Olentangy Liberty • Ohio • ★★★★

Then you have Bubba Bolden, a top 100 Safety who will be a Buckeye if they offer and Anthony Hines, a top 100 LB who will almost certainly not be a Buckeye unless the State of Texas explodes. More importantly, it's a do or die visit for Shaun Wade. The prevailing thought -- both Alabama and OSU 'insiders' -- is that Wade prefers OSU but his parents prefer Alabama. This is a chance for (a) Wade to get to know "his class" better and; (b) a final and only chance for UFM to win the parents. It'll be tough. If he goes back home and continues to road trip to Tuscaloosa, then it's over.

For the 2018 class:

Running back • Zamir White • Scotland County • North Carolina • ★★★★★
Defensive end • Micah Parsons • Harrisburg • Pennsylvania • ★★★★★ • COMMITTED TO PENN STATE
Defensive back • Tyreke Johnson • Trinity Christian Academy • Florida • ★★★★★
Offensive line • Jackson Carman • Fairfield • Ohio • ★★★★★
Defensive back • Derrik Allen • Lassiter • Georgia • ★★★★★
Running back • Jaelen Gill • Westerville South • Ohio • ★★★★★
Wide receiver • Shaquon Anderson-Butts • Harrisburg • Pennsylvania • ★★★★
Linebacker • Dallas Gant • Toledo St. John’s • Ohio • ★★★★
Linebacker • Christopher Oats • Winton Woods • Ohio • ★★★★
Linebacker • Cam McGrone • Lawrence Central • Indianapolis • ★★★
Defensive back • Christian Tutt • Thomson • Georgia • ★★★★

So, the big visit is White. It's his second time to Columbus on his dime. He's interested. And he's holy hell good. But it's going to take a small miracle to pull him from Georgia/Clemson/UNC. Getting Tyreke Johnson up is also huge. Micah Parsons...meh...I don't think he's particuarly "committed" to Penn State, but this is, as far as I can tell, his first sign of interest in OSU. Eh, we'll see how it goes.

They'll also have a couple potential superstars from the class of 2019 visiting, but that's too far off to discuss at all.
