I still want to know wtf made Logan Brown a huge fucking Wisconsin fan. I could even get Nebraska over us.

The fact that they are an NFL OL factory, maybe?

Yeah but he will be buried in the depth chart for them. I think he'd be an instant starter for us.

Eh, he's in his mid 60's. I think it's more likely he retires than goes to another school.

Meyer did recruit him over, though, so if he was younger, I could see him going somewhere else.

I don't see why Johnson would want to jump to a program he has no ties to that has no real history of putting out good defensive linemen or getting top DL recruits. I also don't see any ties he has to Mike Locksley. No logic there.

Our offensive line class is pretty darn good. Six offensive lineman, four of them 4 stars. I feel like offensive lineman are the hardest to judge and the least exciting five star player. I'm going to say this without anything to back it up, but it seems like at every major school the five star offensive lineman don't develop as often as five stars at other positions.

You guys also don't develop your OL into NFL players. Harbaugh has brought in plenty of highly rated OL talent and has only put 2 of them into the pros.

OSU's class is leaching players:

wait a second there...

Harbaugh's first class at Michigan had 1 single highly rated offensive lineman. Grant Newsome, who had a football ending injury. The guys from the 2016 class are sticking around for next year (Bredeson and Onwenu).

So who are you talking about from Harbaugh's classes that he should have developed into NFL draft picks by now?

OSU's class is leaching players:

We've lost two players from this class, and he is by far the most expendable guy. I called this yesterday. He's a decent talent at best. Even if we don't get Fields, Mathis would never have seen the field with Tate, Baldwin, and then Jack Miller in 2020.

As OSU and Mich has proven in recent years, you can't have too many quarterbacks. Having only 14 kids now in the class is not good. Michigan has proven how small classes like this prove to be a problem later on when you have no junior/senior talent.

Sorry, I didn't word that right. He had plenty of talent there from a recruiting star standpoint and none of them have developed. Bredeson and Onwenu aren't going pro because they know they would probably barely be drafted.

Do you think we're done signing kids? We have two more potential commits coming today, and then there are still several other prospects on the radar for after today.

I think if you went back and looked, that's actually not the case. Most of the highly rated OL recruited from the Hoke era were either gone before Harbaugh got here or left in the year after. That's been a major problem for us until really this year; in which we finally saw OL improvement.

He's still been there for 4 years and has not done a good job at putting OL into the NFL. They're not even top 3 in the B1G in that department.

That was mostly Hoke tbh. Before that and DickRod, we were as much as an NFL factory for OL

Drevno was useless as well. Warriner has been a godsend.

Doug Nester could be flipping to PSU as well.

Eh, kid would have never seen the field. It's a bad QB class, and we had him just to fill QB slots.

*Could be a loss if we have injuries/other transfers at the position.

IF Fields ends up at OSU, I hope he announces that sooner rather than later.

It would help with recruiting.

Ohio State doesn't have a lot of departing players
