I understand why the kid is selecting Ohio State

childhood fan
compete and/or win the Bug 10
Annual Playoff contention
National media loves Ohio st
Produces nfl talent

My son and I were talking the other day about this. He is not a college athlete but could’ve attended many other schools due to strong grades and high ACT scores. I brought up other schools for him to attend but he said his dream school was UT. I said “okay” and………..he will be a rising sophomore.

Maybe this is a bad analogy but some kids follow their childhood dreams.

Go Vols!

Nah. OSU does well with WRs. He’ll excel there. It’s understandable why he chose them.

i’m saying this due to the fact they have so many wr’s every year. not every receiver excels there, you see how good jameson williams was and didn’t even start? also, they signed the #1 wr julian fleming who has caught 1 career touchdown in two years.

wrs are a dime a dozen…..especially in this type offense. Still hope he comes, because he’s really good, not because UT can’t win without him.

True. I never get upset about not getting a particular WR or RB. There's always another one available.

I liked Kasper over Tate months ago...I've never really seen it with Tate but I think he's got the skillet to be really good if he fully buys in.Hes a high rated 5 star it's good for perception u get caught up in the hype on the board but there's a couple wrz who are very comparable to Tate.Idk dude showed up out west and with the best of the best and didn't do sh*t really for whatever reason.Give me Seldon and Benson and let's ride.I still think we have a few guys who are gonna show out this year on offense.If he wants to come here will gladly accept him but I think the majority of us are okay if he doesn't choose us.

That really was one of the more pathetic posts I've seen in my 9 years on VolNation. I sincerely hope that was just a 12 year old. If that's an adult? Damn ...

Fleming has been injured most of his career and Marvin Harrison Jr ( as polished as his hall of fame dad) is just as good..... Williams didn't start because JSN is better as he has proven. And Williams wasn't going to start over Olave and Wilson who were 1st round picks, as was Williams who was developed by Hartline.

My concern is how TN will climb to the top and consistently recruit 4* and 5a* players. The stats show stars matter.
I think TN is on the right path, similar to the early 90’s. Here are my thoughts:

1.This team must have success and win 9 games, beating Florida, Pitt, Etc. this season to recruit elite players.

2.Recruit elite QB - Nico is our guy to build around. Similar to Manning (and @ the time, Brandon Stewart as we didn’t know who would be the star qb).


3. Next season- 9 wins same as above.
Surround Nico with elite RB (s) and skilled players. Hopefully we have some freshmen on the roster who will be balling Nico’s soph and junior yr, assuming Nico starts. Plus add stud RB(s) and WR’s to the 23 and 24 class.

4.Trenches - need elite O Linemen, hopefully we have some freshmen who will be “elite” in 2024-2025. Freshman O linemen need a yr or two to develop. Keep recruiting.

5. Defense- same as point #4. Manning didn’t have an elite defense in 1997. The D had individual talent but the juniors and seniors made a huge difference in 1998. One or two yrs in the program does wonders in the trenches, Linebackers, etc.

Just my $.02. Some Success now along with Nico should get us back, finally, to SEC East relevance in 2024 (hopefully).

anything can happen, it’s not guaranteed he will start early there is all i’m trying to say. they are signing 3 other receivers who are very well just as good as him in this class too, along with more wr’s they have already. he may very well excel, don’t get me wrong.

The tea leaves have been saying this for a while. This should surprise nobody. I'm not going to disparage the guy, but he clearly was exaggerating how "open" his recruitment really was... for the purpose of maximizing an NIL deal at Ohio State.

We are going to see more and more of this too.

Mmmmmm Tillman had 152 yards versus Alabama and 200 yards versus Georgia…. We just need two- three other consistent receivers and we are golden.

Everyone one else had 130. Can’t do it by yourself. But to my point we lost that game. We still need it’s like this no matter how you twist it.

Disagree. The kid's a talent, I'm not taking that away from him, but a lot of our offense is predicated on Heupel scheming guys open. We've already seen him take lesser rated receivers with good speed and work his magic. Heupel will find receivers to make his offense work. They don't have to be 5*s. They just need to do what he says and catch the ball when it hits their hands.

Haha I get the man can game plan but you have to have the talent to win the big games.

I’d like to have Tate but one hot shot receiver will not make or break a team. There are so many other Wrs available that will shine is this offense. I’m more concerned about bringing in differences makers in the trenches and lock down corners.

They certainly are and some are, if you are in contention to get them, can’t missed. Check out all your sec and national champions rosters.
