'08 IL DT Garrett Goebel (Ohio State Verbal)

[GoshenGipper]

GG - I had actually heard that his dear old Dad was very much pro Buckeye. If you really want to compare "sources" and stories (the one source I'll ever have most likely) just PM me.

I'm not the one that said his dad was pro UM.

 

[OCIrish]

I still think he ends up at OSU

I hope you're right!

 

[dyrtdogg]

Ditto. I have some reservations on that front, but ditto.

If you're referring to my earlier post about his dad pushing him to Mich, I was just being a smartass and mocking a poster from another thread. I actually have zero idea about anything to do with Goebel. Sorry if I misled you.

Garrett verballed to O$U today.

It feels GOOD to FINALLY steal one from you guys...

Right...if by steal you mean you got someone that ND stopped recruiting after they landed Ethan Johnson who was the #1 DE target on both ND and USC's boards.

 

[GhostSpirit]

Ha, yeah good steal. Seriously though, good pick up.

 

[GoIrish41]

good pickup ant80. I would have loved to have this guy. He's going to be a good one for OSU.

 

[dyrtdogg]

Congrats to Ant and OSU. I really liked who ND ended up with on the D line, but it certainly wouldn't have bothered me if they had picked up Goebel.

I'm guessing that Ant80 is just stirring the pot a little....

Goebel looks to be a very solid D-line, and is a great pick by Tressel. More of a steal from Carr than ND.

As indicated, he was OSU's top target on the D-Line, whereas CW/CB were targeting some other prospects. Sure ND offered Garrett, but he was a bit of a late offer; and CB was really gunning for Newman/Hunter/Johnson/Williams/Cwynar.

This is very much like the TE position

Unfortunately for Goebel, he fiddled away his opportunity when he didn't commit early on. After ND picked up its other linemen, he was on the outside looking in. He really wanted ND 1st, Ohio State was the lucky recipient of his services.

Your information is a little off. Garrett really liked Notre Dame, but he never said they were his leader. Ohio State has been his leader throughout his recruitment from the beginning.

No doubt Notre Dame filled up before Garrett was going to decide, thus taking Notre Dame out of consideration, but he was never Notre Dame's to lose.
