QB Joe Burrow [Ohio State - Signed LOI]

Yeah, Beck going with Urban to "smooth things over" was not a tall task.I do think that Nebraska being Nebraska, Riley being Riley, and having Langsdorf on board, the Huskers could have made a strong push. It just seemed too late in the game in this case, but they tried.The most surprising thing in all this is hearing all these accounts about Beck actually doing damage to the recruiting process on their visits. Of all the coaches on Bo's staff, he's probably one of the last ones I would have expected. Then again, he did say "who has a good relationship with the fans?"This CJ Johnson story makes it sound like Beck also had some issues with Barney. Which is not as surprising

Who DIDN'T have issues with Barney?? Besides Bo and his sons. No gimmes Zoogs.
People may think I'm crazy to own this....., but I repeatedly said on this board that I was a fan of Barney, only I preferred him in an offensive coordinator/run game coordinator role. (I know...people think I'm crazy or stupid for saying that) I did have some issues with Barney, but I think that mostly arose because Barneys philosophy and Becks philosophy were total mismatches IMO.
This may not be the best example, but there are some good examples of the formations and the types of plays we used to run. Barney was a pretty good play caller back in 2003 IMO. I'd take him over Beck 10 times out of 10.

There is a better chance of Bubba Starling quitting baseball to come be our QB than Joe Burrow never taking a snap at tOSU and transferring here.

 
How pathetic do you think we are?? Some say he could come here and be a 4 year starter and then say he couldn't take a snap there......yes Ohio state is ahead of us in skill....but wow. So he goes there and never plays or goes here and starts 4 years...gotcha

 
You mean top qb recruits??? Stanton was an eleet 8 qb. Tommy bush and Darlington were highly rated. I think it's comical how quick we write ours off and praise others. Just because a few havent been tested yet

 
I would have loved to have him. Trust me I think it's a shame how they treated him....but I think he will be just fine there. He will get his turn

bush was a two star according to most sites

Stanton competed in the ELITE 11 but if I'm not mistaken wasn't one of the 11 selected. Darlington still stutters from his concussions. We were the only big name school who offered unranked AJ Bush. Our starter isn't as Good as tOSUs 3rd stringer.

 
Few teams have starters that are...

We have numbers here, though. If Darlington's medical issues are keeping him away from the field of QBs, there's still some promise between Armstrong & continued development, Stanton, and Bush, who some people are pretty high on. But we have to keep getting guys year in, year out. They clearly tried to this year but couldn't and QB is definitely a huge priority going forward. That's what we're talking about here, right?

Just to clarify, he missed part of a day to play in a 7-on-7 with his high school team. When he came back, he dropped in the rankings but was still one of the Elite 11.

Can someone explain to me how the 10th rated DT QB by ESPN is 8th in the elite 11? Shouldn't he possess a higher ranking?
