DaddyBuiltRacing Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 3* DT Robert Landers (50th ranked DT in the class) from Huber Heights flipped from West Virginia to Ohio State tonight. He is the 24th member of the 2015 class, you have to believe there is only 1 spot left in this class, they have stated they want to add another DT still as well. Apparently the kid blew up in the playoffs this year, enough to warrant an offer. They say he isn't ranked higher, due to not attending a bunch of camps. He makes the 8th kid to flip from another school to OSU in this class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most notably OL, DL, and LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Joey Bosa's brother Nick talks winning a state title, Ohio State 2016 defensive line recruit Nick Bosa, the kid brother of Ohio State's Joey Bosa, is a top recruit in his own right -- and now a state champion to boot. He chats with SB Nation Recruiting's Bud Elliott about his recruiting process as well as the Buckeyes. http://www.landgrantholyland.com/2014/12/14/7391703/joey-bosas-brother-nick-talks-winning-a-state-title-ohio-state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKilbourne Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 He's listed at 6'2, but I think he is even closer to 6'1. 285ish? Either way, he takes up space and the interior D-line doesn't have to be 6'5"+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Bennett isn't super tall, listed at 6'2. Michael Hill, Tommy Schutt who are also DT's on the roster are 6'2. The height thing to me only matters with DE's who are batting balls down and using their arms to rush the passer. For a DT, he just has to take up space, get double teams and allow the linebackers to hit gaps freely. The kid has to be talented in order to get an offer from OSU. The stars don't matter, as you said they ding kids for various reason, there is several 3 star kids that turn out to be studs and 5 stars that turn out to be duds.

Dr. Pomade Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Pat Forde - who is a douche, and not just because of what I'm about to post - just picked the Big 10 to go 0-9 in the bowls, and picked Alabama to beat Ohio State 28-13. He also picked the Pac12 to go 7-1 and Oregon to win the NC over Alabama. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/forde-yard-dash--bowl-edition-051138317-ncaaf.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Fordes picks come as no surprise to me really. I don't think anyone has picked OSU to beat Bama thus far, and the B10 matchups aren't really favorable for the conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a beastly game in the playoffs vs. St. Ed's that I was reading about on Twitter from Ohio HS reporter people was one of the best performances they'd seen from a HS DL in years... here's his highlights from that game... http://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/wayne-warriors-%28huber-heights,oh%29/football/videos.htm?videoid=1f1f4e58-83fc-4fc7-8f9a-ae875bf168f3 He and Norwood out of GA have 2 of the most impressive tapes of all the 2015 class and they're both 3 star guys. When OSU snatched up Norwood people were worried SEC schools would come calling late and that's starting to happen so OSU just has to hope he appreciates them noticing him earlier.

oh8sti Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I had a dream last night that I couldn't watch the first half of the game and I turned it on halfway through the 2nd quarter. They were showing replays of the game thus far. Game starts - OSU is recieving - we run it back for a TD right off the bat. We kick it off to Bama - they struggle to make any plays and on 3rd down Bosa drops back in coverage and ends up snagging a low thrown ball - he runs it back for a TD. The stadium is beyond nuts. We kick it off to them again and they drive into our territory - they settle for a FG. I swith to the Oregon game and the score is 6-7 FSU leading with a TD and Oregon is 2 FG's in. Keep in mind this is like 4min left in the 1st half. Anyway, just wanted to put this on paper incase Im onto something here :fa: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Wouldnt that make him the highest paid college football coach by a mile?! By a LONG ways. It would trigger a few clauses in other coaches contracts, actually. IIRC, there are a few coaches who have a "highest paid" coach clause, stating that they have to be paid in the top 5 or something similar.
