'17 OH DT Jerron Cage (Ohio State Verbal)

[Irish#1]

How good is he? I know it's early, but mostly second-tier local offers at this point. Doesn't appear to have much of a profile on 247.
I'd assume we won't offer unless we really want him, though, and we'll surely know what he can do. So I guess an offer from us would speak for itself.

Given that he's a sophomore it's not surprising to see a small offer list. If he's good the offers will come rolling in this fall.

Seriously, not that long ago, who would have thought that ND and MSU would battle for the same recruits and be considered to be on somewhat equal footing?

Agree, I remember them beating us 6 in a row and 9 of 12. Glad we caught up to them the last five years.

 

[ThePiombino]

That was from September. Anyway we know for sure he didn't play all year as well?

Found this from December '14:

2.Jerron Cage, Winton Woods:MichiganThe defensive lineman had 40 tackles and 10 sacks. He has offers from UC and Kentucky. He is the younger brother of former Winton Woods standout Daniel Cage, now with Notre Dame.

pOSU article so I'm not sure if it's slanted or not, but the quote from Cage makes it sound like pOSU and MSU are his top two.
Cage’s Long Awaited Ohio State Visit Goes Great

Cincinnati (Ohio) Winton Woods defensive lineman Jerron Cage finally made it to Ohio State.

Cage had been saying he would visit OSU for the past few months, but it had not worked out until this past weekend when he made it to the Buckeyes’ spring game.

“It was real good, real good,” Cage said. “I liked everything. The atmosphere was great. It was real live. I got to talk to coach (Kerry) Coombs and coach (Larry) Johnson.”

As much as he liked the game and the atmosphere, Cage was even more impressed with the Woody Hayes Facility.

“Walking around the Woody – I really liked it,” he said. “There’s a lot of information there.”

The 6-foot-3 and 260-pound Cage has scholarship offers from Louisville, Kentucky, Cincinnati and Illinois. But two other schools remain at the top of his list.

“Ohio State and Michigan State are still my top two,” Cage said. “They are equal. I’m going to Michigan State’s spring game (April 25).”

Cage is a 4-star prospect in the 247Sports rankings. He is the country’s No. 100 overall 2017 prospect, the No. 8 defensive tackle, and the No. 4 prospect in Ohio.

I would have a tough time telling anyone I was walking around the Woody.

Got to keep the family ties at Notre Dame.

I half expected to open this up and to see it say he committed to Mich St

Ohio State is the big threat in this one!

 

[BobbyMac]

Got an offer from Ohio State last month.

The CB's swung in OSU's favor 8 to 4 over ND. With 2 of them being Terry and Wiltfong.

Michigan St is listed as warm with no offer also.

I haven't seen anything on Jerron recently Is there any news Lucky, Res, Panda, TP?

[johnnycando]

I would hope Daniel keeps us in this one.

I would hope Daniel keeps us in this one.

Question is, are we in a position to be kept in at the moment?

ND's record with brothers is a good one. Per the services, this would be the brother that I'd most want unless you tell me Jaylon has a brother who's a Pop Warner All American in the class of '19.

Pretty much what you stated, OSU and MSU lead. OSU probably leads and he's a better prospect ten is brother. He doesn't mention ND a lot so he might be looking to blaze his own trail

 

[texbender]

long way to go but it would be nice to keep good recruits with brother already here, but looks like he'll have decent choices. When you compete vs MSU and OSU and their successes, winning games goes a long way.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

The coaching staff doesn't want 4* dlinemen, that's why he has no offer.

We're targeting 2 and 3 star RKGs.

Posts can be fraught with too much irony.

On commitment watch for OSU during their Friday Night Lights event per their special mod Shocks me that we aren't more of a player for him.. I don't think he has visited one time this summer

Damn. I was really hoping he'd end up here with his brother. I hope we haven't last all traction with him.

 

[Rocket89]

Committed to Ohio State.

 

[ResLife Hero]

Sucks. Was surprised we were able to land his brother though so maybe hoping to go 2 for 2 was too much. Still, a long way to go.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Didn't even offer him. Shame!

Good thing Meyer didn't offer Daniel Cage.

 

[Big23Head]

Visiting this weekend per Anna

 

[Ndaccountant]

 

[dublinirish]

legit interest or just visiting his brother to see his first start at ND stadium?

 

[woolybug25]

Two things:

1) Does Urbie not have a problem with this?
2) It seems like such a better fit here than OSU to me. His brother is here and our depth chart is better for him. He could literally end up playing next to his brother on the defensive front. How badass would that be?

 

[Big23Head]

Nothing further, just one to watch

 

[Luckylucci]

Yea this is more about his brother than starting versus Texas than his recruitment, as of now. I think the staff is going to try and gauge his want but as of now there isn't much interest from Jerron.
