Murdock should have some experience since they ran a pass happy offense at Dublin. Back to Top L.C.

I would agree, though - on a highlight reel run blocking where the defender is driven 15 yards and buried is going to look more impressive than a play where the defender pass rushes and gets nowhere. The pass blocking is equally important, but won't look as impressive, as least to casual viewer. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top C Money General User Member Since: 8/28/2010 Post Count: 3,420 Status: Offline     RE: 2014 C Kirk Barron (Mishawaka (IN) Marian HS) - Ohio Commit    Posted: 5/10/2013 12:30:01 PM  mf279801 wrote: Bcat2 wrote: With Mr. Barron, Langenkamp, Wood, Murdock, Leavitt there is going to be a short yardage push in their time.  Can someone send them some tapes of a new thing in college called pass protection so they can work on it before they get in.

In all the time I've been watching, that's the first time I've ever seen them do it, though. I have seen them raise kids after committing to Ohio, however. In the end it's all about how he does on the field, not the stars, anyway.

He's a kid from Indiana. He probably grew up dreaming of playing in the Big Tenfinity. When he accepted the Ohio offer, he had no Tenfinity offers, and then he gets one from one of the schools in his home state. Doc Bobcat wrote: What's OUr record for most decommits in a year? The Danny Doomers are sayin Duckworth will go....so that would be 2......maybe that's the record. Maybe, but probably not for long. When Ohio was mostly recruiting under-the-radar players, you weren't going to see this happen very often at all. Now that most of the players Ohio has offered are Big Tenfinity caliber, or close, we will see it more often. We just need to accept that having this happen more is a natural consequence of going after more and more 3-star players. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top L.C.

Last year they had the class largely filled very early, but people on here complained that they were all 2-star players, and that there weren't enough 3-star players. None of the recruits who accepted last year had any AQ offers.  I have no doubt that they are good players, and that the class was one of the best in Ohio history, but still, with it filling so fast, could they have done even better? This year they seem to have gone after a slightly higher section of the recruiting spectrum, with the result that a substantial number of the players with offers also have AQ offers. Considering that this will be a smaller recruiting class, I think that was a reasonable decision. If they can land a four or five 3-star players, and then later fill the class with players of the same quality that they normally recruit, this will be an excellent class. Has Ohio "arrived"? Can they recruit toe-to-toe with AQ schools? No, but with the stratified nature of AQ/non-AQ teams, that isn't surprising. They are certainly recruiting as well as most non-AQ teams, though, which is something that could not be said 8 years ago. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Jeff McKinney Moderator Member Since: 11/12/2004 Post Count: 6,050 Status: Online     RE: 2014 C Kirk Barron (Mishawaka (IN) Marian HS) - Ohio Commit    Posted: 6/19/2013 12:39:33 PM  L.C. wrote: Recruiting is part art, obviously.
