I'm the biggest OSU hater of them all, the tOSU moniker is the worst thing in the world and I absolutely hate that they blow it up considering most flagship universities within a state claim the exclusive right to use it (technically UT is The University of Tennessee), but do we blow it up? Absolutely not.
Despite that, I won't fault the kid for wanting to put on for his home state school.
Don't think so. Baker has been set to OSU for a while. Before he bumped him commitment up to July 11 I thought we stood a decent chance. Now, without an official visit, I'd say all signs point to him being a lock to OSU - even after Hilliard (who was an OSU favorite for a while, so the commitment did not come as a surprise.) gave them his verbal.OSU just picked up a commitment from 5* LB Justin Hilliard.....gotta help us with Baker....you would think?
There is a slim chance. It's clear he likes us as we are in his top 3 (OSU, UT, UF). However OSU gets the nod because of family/friend ties, it is close to home, & they were the first to offer so they have an advantage there, too. He's visited OSU several times compared to only 1 visit each for Tennessee & Florida. It looks like a done deal for OSU, unfortunately.so no chance?
