Major Crystal Ball prediction for country’s No. 1 OLB and Ohio State Buckeyes

Major Crystal Ball prediction for country’s No. 1 OLB
In just over 24 hours the country’s No. 1 outside linebacker Dallas Gant will announce his college choice. Bill Kurelic weighs in with his Crystal Ball prediction.

Toledo (Ohio) St. John’s linebacker Dallas Gant, who has narrowed his decision down to five schools, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State, will announce his college choice on Tuesday at 3:30 pm.

At one point a number of weeks ago I didn’t get the greatest Ohio State related vibe after talking to Gant in-person. At that time, I thought Notre Dame was the likely pick. Gant is the country's No. 1 outside linebacker.

But as I have been writing since then, I have slowly had a change of thinking based on what I have been hearing from several different sources. I have been saying I think Gant picks Ohio State. After Gant told me a week ago he had made his decision and there wasn’t much that could change his mind, I felt even more confident in my thinking.

Michigan made things a bit interesting, but they arrived a bit late in this one. While there is no doubt in my mind Penn State gave Gant something to think about, and Michigan State impressed him very early, I’ve never felt he was going to end up at either place. Notre Dame had a number of things going for them, but I feel Gant sees the opportunity at Ohio State and what playing for the Buckeyes can do for him in the future as overriding factors in his decision.

I will be on hand at Gant’s announcement at his high school in the theater on Tuesday. I am going with that announcement being in favor of the Ohio State and have put in my Crystal Ball for the Buckeyes.

Gant is a 4-star prospect in the 247Sports rankings. He is the country’s No. 23 overall 2018 prospect, the No. 1 outside linebacker, and the No. 2 prospect in Ohio.

Remind me to fill this in in two weeks. I would do it now save a matter of personal integrity.

But I can't. Or I would.

Remember, I said I would not betray (and that goes either way) what I know?

And, the first thing I will say on May 16th is, "I knew that a month ago!"

I won't say anything more, (other than calling people out on their b.s.) than don't be surprised if it doesn't go until the 16th. It may happen sooner. I mean, as in more quickly than that.

So, Bogs did all that hinting skewed to the positive, when he really knew a month ago that it would be Ohio State.

Bogs was trolling us.

I mean I love Bogs...... but there is so much to this story and his posting about DG that needs to be reconciled.

Even if it turns out that ND really WAS the choice, but then Urban put on his best salesman hat and went to work...

Bog assured us that the Gants weren't ones to take kindly to the "salesman" tactic.

Maybe he meant BK was trying to sell Gant a bill of goods while coaching as a lame duck?

It is my sincere dream to have Gant shock the world and pick ND tomorrow, then Bogs rise from the ashes like a Phoenix out of bannedom to be showered with reps.

It would be a day that would live eternally in lore.

If he's a great salesman, and his customers don't like salesmen, the he acts like he's not a salesman when he's selling to them.

And people totally overestimate their dislike of being sold. Its like thinking that you can resist if the hot girls starts being nice to you. If you are from Ohio and Urban Meyer starts sucking up to you, you start hearing what you want to hear.

I would without doubt or hesitation take him if only for the shock value and the recruiting press that win would create... but otherwise, I'd take Lamb or Calvert.

Honestly, even IF Notre Dame somehow got the commitment tomorrow*, OSU wouldn't let up. We'd spend the next eight months hyperventilating over each development until Signing Day, when we'd inevitably be disappointed. I almost prefer ripping the band-aid.



*How many Cal CB's did Demetrius Robertson have?

Instead, we'll have to beat him in effigy with sticks so all the new posters understand, you don't toy with the collective emotions of this board.

Whoever Bogs dumped his vbucks to should give them to me. Bogs and I bet all of our vbucks that Gant would choose ND (Bogs) and I said he'd choose OSU, and if he picked the field it was a push.

Whoever got them I want a vbeer!

In an ironic twist, he gave much of them to me, which means you ain't getting shit.

Maybe I'll do a contest to see who can shit on you the hardest? That would be fun.

I love how the shame of this recruitment made Bogs permanently delete his account. Don't let the door hit you.

He's done this several times after he lives in the politics threads for awhile.

I don't know why that is needed. I like Bogs and he was a longstanding member of the board. He doesn't deserve that, especially when he isn't here to defend himself.

Also... mods correct me if I'm wrong, but there were other reasons outside of Gant that made him want to go, no?

That's true and all, but he has come on here multiple times claiming to have big information and it has not turned out to be accurate.
