'14 OH ATH Sam Hubbard (Ohio State Verbal)

[The Polish Irishman]

I just don't see where he fits in the defense. I would rather have other targets.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Switching from LB to TE

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Does not have the Koyack potential.

 

[Irish8248]

Well .... there goes all those prior debates ...

 

[yankeeND]

Switching from LB to TE

Oh LAX... Nail meet hammer. You were on point bro

 

[GBdomer]

Great size for TE, I never thought he would be a safety because he would be way to tall

 

[Domina Nostra]

If OSU doesn't want him on defense, is Diaco still an idiot for not offering him?

Yes.

 

[TheChosen1]

Clearing room for.....

 

[Domina Nostra]

In all honesty, my rule of thumb is that you ALWAYS offer a smart, athletic, kid with a frame that big. It's a no-brainer.

Though, at 6'6", he'd be plaing TE or DE for us.

 

[GBdomer]

To this day I still shake my head at this recruitment. I would have loved to see Hubbard rocking a gold helmet. Reminded me a little of Danny Mattingly

It's a strange comparison, but this kid's defensive highlights remind me of Samardzija playing safety in high school.

Not strange at all. Under the Laws of Comparing Athletes, your comparison works because they are both white. So you're good.

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Switching from LB to TE

Imagine that

It's funny. I look at Hubbard and I think "Joey Getherall."

Lol nailed it

 

[STLDomer]

Moved back to LB

 

[anarin]

Moved back to LB

Imagine that

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Moved back to LB

This bodes well for LAX's mental health. Players who make multiple position switches very rarely become All-Americans.

This is the only thing that comes to mind when this thread is bumped.

Sam Hubbard Is Ohio State's Do-It-All Secret Weapon | Bleacher Report

Just shoot me in the fucking face. What could've been... in both sports. Swear to God if he ends up realizing his potential as a freakishly athletic now-265 6'6" DE and we struggle to rush the passer this year I'm going to lose my fucking mind.

Step 1) Get athletes.
Step 2) Figure it out when they're on campus.

Step 3) Profit

Went to a baseball game with a couple friends that are big pOSU fans. They debated this guy for nearly 5 innings on what position he would be most freakish at. I was in pain the entire time.

I respect Diaco, but him mailing it in and not even making the time to evaluate him in a timely fashion... while Urban got to his film quickly and then put on a full court press... was one of the most maddening things I've ever witnessed. And the rationalization after he committed to OSU was ridiculous. And then it got double bad when late in the cycle Diaco extended an offer because it just proves he was good enough to deserve a spot somewhere. 6'6" guys with his athletic abilities are quite rare.

Then to read:

Every once in a while when Sam Hubbard is relaxing in his dorm room, he'll find himself flipping through the channels when he'll come across a Notre Dame lacrosse game on TV.

For the former Cincinnati Moeller lacrosse star, it's a nice break from his hectic life as an Ohio State freshman.

It's also a reminder of what could have been.

"I miss it," he admitted. "Notre Dame's No. 1 in the country."

It does not get worse than that.

Yeah, it's especially infuriating because under normal circumstances, this is the physical specimen that Diaco loves to go after. That being said, given the loaded DE class we had in 2014, it makes this sting a little less.

Who are these stud DEs? I would not call our 2014 DE clasS loaded.
