'17 OH DT Jerron Cage (Ohio State Verbal)

[BobbyMac]

We've talked about it before but with former longtime OSU RB commit Todd Sibley getting forced out in Columbus this week it needs to be brought up again.

Cage was an early homestate commit like Sibley. Since then, OSU picked up the a commit from the #4 DT, Haskell Garrett while the #3 DT, Jay Tufele openly called OSU his leader and #8 DT Darnell Ewell is very warm on the Buckeyes with 80% of the CB's going to OSU by the experts.

How secure would you feel about going to Columbus if that was going on, especially when the Sibley situation just went down. It's not like the Buckeyes have some huge hole in their 2 Deep, it's stocked for '16.

Lets add what's going on with the 2018 class in regards to OSU and DT's. #1 DT, IMG's Taron Vincent = all 8 CB's to OSU, #2 DT, NY's Matt Jones = all 7 CB's to OSU. #3 DT, Ohio native Leonard Taylor (a Michigan commit who's at II today) has 6 of 7 CB's to OSU. That's on your heels

After all that and the fact that Jerron Cage told Bucknuts/247 yesterday that ND is still recruiting him... don't thin this is about hanging out with big bruhda and playing Madden at the dorm. This is all about recruiting.

I don't even have to ask to know that came from the osu 247 board. According to them, osu has never lost a recruiting battle. Although, in this case I can understand the logic.

Your post?

Your post?

The only thing that came from Bucknuts/247 was... Jerron Cage told Bucknuts/247 yesterday that ND is still recruiting him. The rest had nothing to do with 247.

didn't make it


Loy says he doesn't expect him to end up at OSU...but IF he wants ND..he better let them know well in advance of NSD

Will take OV to ND, per ISD poster who saw it on Twitter or something. Anyone got a link?

With all these new scholarships for next year, i say take Cage and Jeter to go with Ewell and Hinich but if they only want one more, I'll take... both.

Might as well take both. Figuring our luck something will happen. I wanna be the first to call Tillery's transfer to the Sorbonne, maybe Bologna.

Exactly.

Max im assuming

He was gone after this year anyway. Not sure what he was referring to... maybe the fact that we are always under every year.

Really? What new scholarships? Finke just got one today and we don't need four DT's. That would be ridiculous if we did that. All four of them are pretty much the same player expect Ewell and Hinish are much better than Cage and Jeter.

Interested in this statement because I see the Ewell/Cage overlap (although I wish we could reasonably take both), but Hinish and Jeter seem like a totally different type of player to me. What similarities do you see?

Jeter not as much even though he's built like a strongside DE at the moment. Cage and Hinish are similiar I just think Hinish explodes off the ball a little more and uses his hands much better. Ewell pretty much only has a bull rush and great strength but he has some work to do if he wants to be somewhat effective at getting after the QB and just not rely on strength. He plays upright in just about every snap in his highlight.

I think Jeter packs on 30 pounds and plays DT anyways, no way he stays at end. Does Ewell grow into a 1 tech?

 

[ThePiombino]

If true, he's ours.

Strong statement, hope it's true.

I completely disagree, Ewell & Hinish are 1T whereas Jeter is without question 3T. Cage on the other hand is the one that Is flexible who's best suited to play both DT positions but IMO would more likely be a 3T who could shift to NT/NG if and when ND lands some elite pass rushing DTs.

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

New scholarships would be Blankenship, Guyton (ok, not super new), Williams (not super new either), to go along with the seniors.

I would expect we will have a couple transfers to go along with the guys above. We alway, always do.

If Jerron wants in at ND I'd say he is a take.

I remember reading that Urban was upset that he didn't offer Daniel sooner.

Let this end like Daniel's recruitment and Urban and suck it!

At this moment he's not a take man

For urban or for us?
