'18 OH DE Malik Vann (Cincinnati Verbal)

[BobbyMac]

Vann retweets stuff from a variety of different fanbases. enjoying the process from the looks of it.

If he was (even close to) the best lineman in attendance at the Future 50 as mentioned, we'll see how much he enjoys the process once OSU offers.

I've thought he was a take all along but if he performed at or above Thomas, Parsons, Henry & Vincent, this kid is something very, very special.

This kid is a wrecking crew. Seriously. This kid is unstoppable. He looks to have serious upper, and lower body strength for a kid his age.

Hope we can make a difference.

Visiting Ohio St. this weekend. I'd imagine he gets an offer while he's there, and that one is going to be tough to beat.

I agree. Really good technique in the film I saw of him at the Future 50 AA camp. Plays bigger than he is. Should be an impact player at the college level

 

[GBdomer]

I think OSU can wait

Can't show it cause I'm on my phone but Vann tweeted Stepp a smiley face with a zipper across the mouth (silent) then a four leaf clover.....silent commit? That must be what that means? Who knows

Are you a silent commit if you publicly tweet that?

Here you go...I think Vann wished Stepp a Happy Birthday, Stepp said make the move, and Vann replied with the clover and zipper mouth - probably means not saying.

That's what I though when I saw it?i retweeted it and Vann liked it? Hmmm. I'm confused

Malik Vann discusses visit with Ohio State Buckeyes, names top choices

Visited OSU, but still no offer. He did say an offer would "probably" put the Buckeyes in his top group but also said this about his decision timeline:

“Notre Dame, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Florida State, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Cincinnati,” Vann answered when asked who his favorites are. All have offered Vann a scholarship.

Vann has been planning to announce his college choice in the summer, though that is not set in stone.

“June 26 is the date, but I might move it up,” Vann said.

Fingers crossed OSU doesn't change that.

Stepp must have had a summer job squeezing lemons for Sunkist or something. He's really putting the pressure haha. Love it.

I give you guys credit for following high school kids on twitter in the first place and even more credit for someone who has 13k tweets

 

[Irishman77]

What power and knock back force. I would like him to get a look at mike

Not sure who you are referring to but I do not follow any HS recruits at all - zero. If an analyst retweets a recruit's tweet you need to go to that original tweet to embed it. Doesn't mean you're following them.

What's the verdict on this guy's talent? Listed at 6'1", and a low 4 star. Hoe excited should we get if he commits?

I've actually been giving some thought to this. Obviously I'd be excited about the addition but just how good do I think he is, is the question. I'll say that he did very well at the UA 50 camp, fairly recently. That was against some other talented players and I believe Driskell said he was virtually unblockable and was quicker than previously thought. So at least there is that.

I dunno whats up with his ranking. His film is elite if you ask me and he was invited and played in that "Future 50" or 100 junior AA camp at UA AA this year and absolutely killed it. Was supposed to be one of the best there. He has great offers and I think he's around 6'1....I dunno. He's not batting down balls anytime soon but he has GREAT lower body strength and really impressive pass rush and bull rush ability regardless of his height.
I really like him.

I wouldn't say he's a low 4 star. Kid is just outside the composite top 250.

He's extraordinarily violent and disruptive. He'd be a great addition to the defensive line.

He'd a 90 and 90 on 247. That's the definition of low 4-star. Not saying he can't be great, I just didn't realize he was undersized and I haven't watched film. He has some good offers, not a national recruit but some solid offers I'd say.

He's also #11 at his position and 257 overall on 247 Composite. That's not bad at all. I'm no film guru, but offers from Florida State, Tennessee and Oklahoma would suggest he's worth a take. Only hesitation is he hasn't been courted yet by OSU or Michigan. I'd hate to take his commit only to have Urbie steal him later.

I have a friend who is very connected in Cinci HS football who thinks he's the real deal and best DL in Ohio. Underrated because of his measurables. This guy also talks shit about a lot of other players so I take him at face value.
