Your expecting Mike McCray & DeVeon Smith RB are Wolverines? Where you guys stand with Jaylon Smith LB? Leaning ND? Glad to hear positive reviews on Gedeon as I see M as a slight favorite to Ohio. He's grown some since his pre-junior camps where he was closer to 200 lb's.

Michael McCray isn't going to make an 'announcement' at a press conference (slated for May 8th) but will let the news out in the next day or two.Comment

McCray and Smith are M. McCray may be nervous that Gedeon will take his spot, at least according to some M posters on the OSU Scout site. But, I have zero sense of how true that is.
OSU's LB recruiting, as of now, is focused on 2 in-state guys (Gedeon and Courtney Love) and two out-of-state guys (J. Smith and Alex Anzalone). Tim Kimbrough (from Indiana) would probably commit early if OSU offered.
With McCray, it may just be a scheme thing. I think M wants a bigger Ray Lewis-type MLB and OSU would prefer a faster guy there. I could see McCray filling that role for M. Gedeon may be a little more athletic and faster. Anzalone and Gedeon seem almost like the same player to me -- but I haven't seen much of the former.
TBH, I don't see much between McCray, Anzalone, Gedeon and, frankly, Kimbrough. They're all legit 4* LB recruits, IMO. I'd probably rate Jaylon Smith a bit above the others, but, as you said, he seems to be leaning ND at the moment.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

McCray has apparently made it official.Comment

Weren't you saying you much preferred Gadeon to McCray? Not in terms of style of play but quality of prospect overall? Or was that back before Gadeon>M talk started up?Comment

M has always been a big player for Gedeon. I like him better than McCray, yes. The biggest thing I said, and stand by, is that Rivals is considerably off on McCray.
He is still a very good pick up, but I don't see him as an elite talent, which is where he is rated.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

None are elite talents?Comment

I think Smith is the only LB I mentioned that is top 50 overall. The Levenberry kid is elite, IMO, and M is in good shape for him. That said, he and McCray sort of offer the same type of player. Not sure how many M is taking at LB or, more specifically, the bigger LB type.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

I guess M will take 3 LBs in this class and are holding a spot for Levenberry? If so, no space for any more after McCray's commitment?Atlanta, GAComment

I think that we will take Gedeon and Levenberry, assuming that both want to commit.Comment

I think I heard M will take Odaniel or Gedeon whomever bites first. They will also hold a spot for Levenberry.Originally posted by whodean View Post
I really hope that McCray doesn't jump ship once the cute boy calls him.To be a professional means that you don't die. - Takeru "the Tsunami" KobayashiComment

I suspect you'll find out about Gedeon this week. If he is in, it will be soon. I think he is definitely leaning that way. Another very good LB class for you guys. Get some speed ends and some CBs and you're set.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

McCray is a kid who probably would have committed on the spot, but, for whatever reason UFM thought he was third best in the state.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
