re: Class of 2017 Recruiting MEGATHREAD: Say Your Goodbyes Edition

So ridiculous

Please tell me he's doing that on camera

I saw that too, seems like one too many corners. Someone might be having second thoughts. Darnay is an absolute stud thou, he might be better than both Okudah and Wade.

We appear to be limping toward the finish line with this class.

Meyer signed the best class ever in 2010 at Florida. That class lost over 20 games while they were there and only had 1 ten win season.

The reason people with information do that IS because of it being fluid. Browning committed to the coaches the Wednesday prior to OSU visit. Conliffe and Devonta Smith have been silents for several weeks, even though neither may make it in the class due to numbers. Wills met with KY coaches the weekend before his scheduled announcement and told them thank you, but he's committing to Bama. Then he waited a month or more before making it official. Buggs committed this weekend and Solomon last week. But the reason people don't post in definatives, is because.....yes.....things are fluid. Solomon also told Georgia he was committed to them, so there's that. These kids can change their mind at the drop of a hundred dollar bill, so what was true today, gets scrutinized as a lie if it doesn't happen. I stand by what I say, based on the sources that share with me from time to time. But thinking maybe now, I'll just keep it to myself.

Y'all can get the hell out of here with the negativity. We are going to clean the frick up. Starting with Wade. I don't give a frick about Ohio state. I'm really not blown away with any of their commits other than wade and Browning

I'll make a quick summary of most of the key pieces:

OSU got Wade on the night of the national title game the same day Kareem Walker committed (ultimately ending up at Michigan). I think Bruce Judson may have been the 3rd commit that night IIRC. That was just euphoria and no one fully expected them to stick years out

Beck has been absolutely killing it in Texas, which may garner Wilson, Browning, Okudah and Dobbins

OSU has had an in at STA for a while, so Grimes wasn't a shocker to most people following the Bosa boys

Bishop Gorman is basically sending their best 3 guys to OSU this year, and I think OSU actually had to tell Bubba Bolden no (I think he may have been told to wait but I would love to have him at his size)

Larry Johnson has recruited the DMV well for years, which got Chase Young and will have them in for top DMV guys for years.

OSU is always going to get a good # of the OH guys they want (Riep, Myers, White, Williamson, Cage)

A few were out of no where like Davis and Pryor

Davis makes Buggs look small.
