UW among top 5 for Cordale Scott
Somebody from buckeyeplanet.com is reporting that Scott's top five include Illinois, Ohio State, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Indiana.. What's interesting is the talk about trying to make him a safety... If Ohio State is dumb enough to consider this, Wisconsin may have a chance with Scott. |

Re: UW among top 5 for Cordale Scott
I doubt Ohio State takes too many DBs this season. In a year that they are limited in ships they don't have a pressing need in the defensive backfield. I would think if Scott wants to play WR he would get his chance at OSU. They are a bit short at WR but have a couple commited already. I would think depending on who they bring in they would take between 1 and 2 more WRs. In the end I would expect Scott to take all his visits, but commit to OSU. He plays for Glenville after all and they are a pipeline to OSU. Anyone from Glenville who gets offered by OSU usually ends up going there in the end. Tedd Ginn Sr. seems to have a lot of influence on these young kids. But who knows now that Teddy Jr is gone, maybe he was sending kids to OSU to help his son out  . |

Word on Bucknuts is that OSU will take 17 to 20 recruits. I would not consider that low on schollies.

Re: UW among top 5 for Cordale Scott
Looking at the OSU roster, I see very few juniors soon to be seniors. By my count they have right around 10. Sure spots may open up with nfl entry, normal attrition, but as it stands now they have only around 14-16 ships they can offer. That is a small class by anyones standards. As many prob know you cant oversign in the big 10 so unlike Texas, Florida, USC and the like OSU will not have a 25 man class. If they have a max of 16 scholarships and have already got commitments from 9 players that does not leave many spots left. OSU does not have the luxury of taking guys at positions where they are already full.

Re: UW among top 5 for Cordale Scott
Mike, "da coach" is right. They only have 16 scholarships to offer. That could increase with unforeseen circumstances, but until that occurs, they have to be selective about which players they offer, and could not take more commits until later in the period.

Re: UW among top 5 for Cordale Scott
It looks more and more like 18 schollies will be reached. OSU isn't going to take many DB's this year (looks like one saftey and one cb) but Scott is being brought in as a WR. Some think saftey is in his future though.

Re: UW among top 5 for Cordale Scott
If I were a betting man, I wouldn't bet on Scott choosing Wisconsin Badger fans. It would be the biggest upset since David defeated Goliath (imo).

Re: UW among top 5 for Cordale Scott
No uw, it's because Ohio State offered him too along with 20 other perennial football powers. You see when Ohio State doesn't offer them when they're from Ohio then it's a different story for Wisconsin. The only Ohio based recruit who-ever committed to Wisky who the Buckeyes also offered was Chris Chambers and the b.s. promice that he could play basketball as well in college by the Badgers might have had something to do with that final decision (imo).

No buki919, you don't get it. Your David vs. Goliath analogy is a joke. Considering UW's success in Glenville I'll help you out in modifying your analogy. David vs. Goliath would be Northern Illinois vs. OSU in the Scott recruitment. And the promise to Chambers wasn't BS because he did get a chance to play basketball. He was on the team and played in some games but wasn't good enough to last. Capiche?

uw, how many of those Glenville recruits who became Badgers were also offered by Ohio State? [ANSWER]: NONE
Nobody is more loyal to Ohio State first & foremost then Coach Ginn (imo).

Re: UW among top 5 for Cordale Scott
Yeah, I love how he says something biased and stupid, then puts "imo" always at the end of it.
Hate to break it to you, and I know this is going to be hard to ackowledge with your pro OSU anti UW bias, but Daven Jones from Glenville would have been a Badger regardless if OSU offered. He stated in his interview that UW was always going to be his #1 school because he idolized Chris Chambers. And he proved it by committing so early. If he cared about getting an OSU offer, he would have waited a reasonable amount of time. And then when he wasn't declared eligible, and became a prospect for the 2007 class; he made sure to reaffirm his commitment to Wisconsin immediately. Many OSU fans wanted them to offer after the Ohio North-South game, and you were one of them. Wouldn't have mattered.

Re: UW among top 5 for Cordale Scott
I'm not going to get into the pi$$ing match. That's between you guys. You can think wahtever you want about the Glenville guys. I will tell you, just like I told the Illinois guys, there is no second place. OSU is where he will end up. That's just the way it is. Sorry if that comes off as arrogant but it's the truth. 
THOSE THAT STAND IN MY WAY, WILL PAY THE PRICE.

Why was coach bollman at Nagys hs when he verbaled UW?
Also, starting UW DT(who beat up David dpatterson in hs game) Jason Chapman REFUSED to go to the osu summer camp. He was according to some, a top 4-8 player in Ohio. Had he wanted to go to OSU, he would have been gladly offered.
We'll keep taking your rejects and beating your pompous asses though........
You do realize tressel should be 0-4 vs UW, right? thank Adrian clark's takedown/TACKLE of erasmus james in O2 on games bigggest play, krenzel to Jenkins froms oSU's red zone. That was as bad a no call as I've ever seen at UW.
Will be 1-4 after the ass beating our lines are going to administer at camp randall east, the shoe,
Will be fun watching your new and statueseque/immobile qb, inexperienced and slow wr's vs best b10 cb duo, speediest lb trio, good pass rushing DE DE duo.
Can you say flak jacket?
Then theres the issie of OSU's 2 new Starting Dt's vs a VERY experienced interior OL and a 265 lb battering ram fb and hill at tb.
Shades of 98? stay tuned.......... Maybe we'll put our backups in late to keep the score down again? |

Re: UW among top 5 for Cordale Scott
Do not let Bucki19 hate for the Badgers turn this into a OSU vs Wisconsin pissing match. OSU fans know too well the there record vs Wisconsin and have stated as such. They list our game in Columbus as one of their toughest games this year.
By the way Bucki, we know a Ohio recruit in which is offered by OSU usually stays instate just like a Wisconsin recruit will. It is nice however to see these recruits list Wisconsin high on there list giving our program respect. But just like last year when the Top DE in Ohio chose Tenessee ,you never know until they sign on the dotted line.

Re: UW among top 5 for Cordale Scott
mike1962, in response to head to head Wisky & Ohio State your 17-50-5 lifetime. To your credit you deservingly upset the Buckeyes in Madison in 2003 and you defeated a yet to blossom young Buckeye team in 2004, that's hardly domination. Barry Alvarez was a combined 5-7-1 versus Ohio State and Bilema has yet to play us.

17-50-5? Who cares what happened 30 years ago buki? I care what happened recently. In their last 4 meetings, Wisconsin has a 3-1 record against your team. You hate that don't you. Prepare to weep buki. After this year..it will be 4-1. |

Wow! You guys are going off on OSU fans for being cocky and your inability to control your own is laughable. You have a new QB just as we do and you're talking about our's. Come on. I'm not saying who's going to win but this thread is a joke. I guarantee if Cordale Scott can possibly get in to OSU (grades and offer) then he wil be at OSU. History/100% of indications state this.

Have the Buckeyes gotten every single recruit they ever coveted who could qualify academically? C'mon now. Unlike some on this board, I've always been fine with Ohio State fans and have held you above your Michigan counterparts. However, these are the types of posts that may make me reconsider.

Re: UW among top 5 for Cordale Scott
[Plain & simple truth]: In the state of Ohio, you get what the Buckeyes give to you and it's a heck of a lot more then you can ever give back to us. In essense, the state of Ohio has done a lot more for the Wisconsin football prgram over the years then the state of Wisconsin has done for Ohio State. In 117+ years of playing college football, Ohio State has never had a scholarship player on their roster from the state of Wisconsin. Just be thankful with what we already have given/supplied you with.
Funny how it works isn't it. You've given us nothing over the years in terms of football talent and now all we're saying is that buck stops here with Scott and your angry with us. Am I missing something?
Now you might not like what I just said, but inside you have to admit that it's the 100% truth.

Now does that mean you have never wanted anyone from WI or that you just couldn't get the couple top players from us? I'm guessing the later...

Yes, you're missing that OSU lucks out with the built in advantage of instate talent to choose from. Wisconsin can retain an equal percentage of instate players but has a smaller population and therefore less overall talent available. One other note: there haven't been Wisconsin players on your roster because they are smart enough to stay in state and commit to Wisconsin. OSU wanted Clay, Thomas, Beckum and Oglesby recently and would have offered a lot more if they hadn't committed to UW so quickly. Of course, OSU probably wouldn't need to offer some of the others when they have the yearly luxury of the instate draft I mentioned above. The high school talent in Ohio is enough to guarantee a .500 season every year for OSU. You could basically have the worst Division 3 coach and still win 6 games.

I think people are just picking on you, not the other tOSU fans that post here. But you had it coming with the tenor of your posts.

Re: UW among top 5 for Cordale Scott
UWGratefulRed, the Buckeyes have acvtively recruited maybe 20 or so players in the state of Wisconsin over the past 75 or so years and yes your right we couldn't land/sign any of them. However we'll be just fine without your in-state football talent crop, but will you be just as fine without ours? Another words there's no comparsion what so ever between the talent level in Ohio and the football talent level in the state of Wisconsin. The only three states that regularly have more depth then the state of Ohio in high school football are the states of Texas, Florida & California.
Controlling a way below average high school football talent depth states of Wisconsin, Minnesota & the Northern part of Illinois at times plus left-overs from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida & New Jersey now is hardly considered a recruiting juggernaut.
"The truth is hard to face at times when it's not what you would like it to be". SO THEN HOW DOES WISCONSIN DO IT? Wisconsin Grayshirts, then Redshirts players and then rarely loses players early on to the NFL like an Ohio State, Michigan, Miami, USC etc. often does. So on occassion/certain years it's your 5th & 6th year Seniors playing against out True-Freshmen & Sophomores, that's how. Can you imagine how good an Ohio State could have been had they kept all of their players in college for at least 4 years too. In a strange twist of fate Wisconsin is almost rewarded on certain occassions for not recruiting as highly rated recruits on the average as the other schools that I eluded to. The 85 scholarship LIMIT has helped schools such as Wisconsin the most and it has helped create more parity in recent years. It certainly didn't help the schools that could always stock-pile recruits years ago such as Ohio State, USC etc.
Please don't bring up your usual clueless Ohio State is lacking in academics and so are their recruits poppycock argument now either. If you truly know your stuff then you will realize that Jim Tressel since he has arrived in Columbus is recruiting ONLY top student-athletes comparable academically to the top academic schools in the country such as Vanderbilt, Duke, Stanford etc. Before you laugh at that statement check it out for yourself and you will quietly admit to yourself that statement is accurate.
