Sophomore TE Steven Wisnewski was tempted by an offer to walk-on at Virginia Tech, but after a sit-down with Coach JeffHCross, he has decided to remain in Columbus.

No Buckeyes wished to go to the NFL ... I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Wisconsin SS Darius Feaster has elected to return to campus after contemplating a shot at the NFL. Feaster would have likely been a fourth round draft pick at best but returns to campus with the opportunity to be the stud safety of the 335 defense.

Freshman recievers Kyle Wallace and Jovon Abrams, who would have been maybe our #3 WR next year have left for the greener pastures of Utah State and New Mexico State.

Brennan Clay, who has 18 TDs in his career at Oklahoma considered transfering to Kansas, but opted out.

Man I had to open my big mouth and post about the players I have coming back. All Americans Kyle Prater and George Uko want to go to the draft as do starting running back and 2 starting linebackers.

Luckily talked them all into coming back expect for ROLB Haynes Pullard

USC is done and will have very little recruiting time for week 1

That's the only potential transfer to any Powerhouse team, so Oneback, I guess we can basically "skip" transfers, since you'd be able to do that step on your own time.

I'm having the same problem Oneback did back in Season 1 where I can log in, get my transfer to stick around, but not upload it to the OD servers. I'm debating not bothering with it and letting him go. I'll try again in a bit and see if it goes through, depending on whether or not I let him go.

PSU finished last night and got all 7 to stay for their SR year, however that leaves PSU very limited in their recruiting time for week 1. I'm going to have to be very picky on whom I attack come week 1 in the offseason. I'm pretty sure I marked ready to advance once I finished.

Sorry I didn't post here last night I was finished I started a game against psuexv which was a barn burner to say the least.

Bolden I could have let go with Jones emergence last year but there is this thing I have against losing any transfers especially to OSU. :)

Bolden I could have let go with Jones emergence last year but there is this thing I have against losing any transfers especially to OSU. :)Yeah, well, now I'm predicting it's inevitable that I'll lose Joe Germaine to a season ending injury early in the year, because I'm going to be hurting at QB next year.

Very little offseason interest for me on top of that. I may add two players, at the most.

WOW, I am in no position to add 10 guys to my board. I'll be lucky if I can add 3 or 4 to be honest. With those 7 guys wanting to sit down for a talk about where they may end up if they declared for the draft early, PSU is going to find it tough to be competitive for guys in the offseason.

11-17-2010, 03:56 PM
I tried to sign 15+ however they were taken from me. I've got a lot of young players on my team so I guess even though I only have 60 players a lot of the recruits didn't see playing time on my roster.

Hopefully I will be able to sign the bulk of what I have on my board and therefore end up where I wanted to be at the beginning of the season recruiting wise. I've also unlocked all the promises so hopefully that will help.

After being up for 10 hours (instead of 10 minutes when I did my recruiting this morning)....I was able to take a GOOD look at the offseason prospects....added 2 more to bring the total to 8....three [5star] and five [4star]....if I'm able to secure all 8 (would be nice)....that would bring this class to 13 [5star] and 7 [4star]....I wouldn't mind hauling that in at all.... :-)

I'm just sad that I couldn't sign a TE this season....I think they are scared of Colton Hall....

Kingpin32
11-17-2010, 04:42 PM
Oregon is all done. I was able to add another 3 to my board. If I can get these last 4 guys, I'll have a solid class on my hands. And I may even be able to replace Cliff Harris, my CB that graduated this year.

If you think about it though Texas (the real team) only recruits in state prospects, whereas Papa is recruiting anyone willing to come his way. Now since WM has arrived on the 40 we have started to expand our talent pool.

If the rumors out of Austin are correct in that Mack Brown is going to replace Greg Davis after the season and is leaning heavily on Muschamp on selecting a new OC we may start to recruit on a national scale and bring in even more top talent (as long as they come in hungry and with a passion to play).

it could be, but ive always contended that Texas taking so many early commitments hurts them as an elite team as much as it helps them remain a top 10 team. They miss out on the late bloomers and get stuck with kids who peak at 17 years old. Now they have to mix in national recruiting which is an even bigger crap shoot than in state recruiting and it could be hard to balance for a team that is not used to national searches (or even in state searches since they get the pick of their litter).

As far as Tex going national, that is all well and good but not many kids outside of texas start the season with texas #1 on their list :)

I've thought the same as well. If Texas would have kept spots open we could potentially have Andrew Luck (Houston), Darron Thomas (Houston) and LaMichael James (Texarkana) just to name a few.

It's is an interesting season however, coming off a MNC apperance it's interesting how quickly things have changed/collapsed. I look forward to next season with a team that is a year older, a real offensive coordinator (not a glorified QB coach), a pair of defensive tackles and some safeties that can actually play the position.

yes it was like watching an fsu meltdown that took 5 years or so all in one season (jeff bowden) our defense was so stacked with nfl talent that it hid our problems for a while, it appears your D was reloading at the same time as your O and with the bad coaching and tough schedule it all happened very fast.

i really dont understand why the game gives texas so much love in recruiting, they always sign a top 10 class, but rarely do they ever get more than two 5 start prospects in a given year. Just another area in which EA goes totally unrealistic for no reason.The simple answer is that there's absolutely no competition for Papa in Texas. It has nothing to do with EA giving more love to UT. There are six [5star] prospects in Texas this year. Papa's signed 5, and he's #1 on the 6th.

Here's the results of real Texas recruiting for 2005 & 2007-2010 (for some reason 2006 is missing). 18 [5star] recruits: Texas signed 6 (33%), Oklahoma signed 4, LSU signed 3, and A&M signed 2. The rest were signed by Michigan (Ryan Mallett), Oregon, and Miami. Nobody is competing with Papa like that in Texas.

In 2009, there were 6 [5star] recruits in Texas, just like there are in our current dynasty year. 2 to LSU, 3 to Texas, and 1 to A&M. Russell Sheppard was one of the Bayou Bengals. Would the dynasty equivalent of Russell Sheppard leave Texas? No way.

Who knows what the future holds for OU.. obviously we need to figure out if we want to start senior Drew Allen or junior Blake Bell at QB, then who gets more carries at RB? Finch, Clay or incoming #3 RB Nick Webster? Can Erik Richardson lead the team in recieving again as a true sophomore?

On defense, who the heck is starting at safety? Can we replace JaMarcus McFarland and two of our top 4 DT's?

Our recruiting has had a weaker look this year with just Webster being a five-star and four four-stars, three of which are on the D-line and one at SS.

On special teams, we lost O'Hara and Way.

Hey guys....I wanted to help speed us up to position changes tommorrow if possible. I trimmed my targets to 6....all 6 got home visits for week 3....I'm sure all 6 will make a decision on the advance to week 4....and I'll be done.

My 6 targets:
#2 ATH Joe Wilson
#3 DE Jonathan Johnson
#5 T Adrian Watkins
#8 CB Jonathan Gilliam
#8 SS Derrick Cowan
#24 DE Zach Jackson

Keep a look out for these 6....I'm REALLY only concerned about the top 4....if those 4 make a decision....I'm done and ready for position changes. Help a brother out please :-)

I guess offseason visits are usually to a player. I've never been really clear on that in NCAA. I know College Hoops was to the player ... and I know in-season in NCAA is campus visits. Never really sure what offseason visits are representing in NCAA.

id definitely take over the job but im leaning towards not doing a masters degree right now and getting a job as a fixed income specialist...my uncles firm just moved into a new office in Orlando my home town and i can afford to buy a home cash in the neighborhood i grew up in so working 100% commision would not be so scary at the moment. if that happens ill be persona non-grata during working hours
