Bret Bielemas Loss Is Urban Meyers Gain Always

Another recruit and another flip job for Urban Meyer. Urban is really hitting the SEC hard this year flipping players where ever he can. This newest recruit falls in that category because he was committed to Arkansas for a long time and Urban Meyer swooped in and stole him right from under Bret Bielemas nose. This is especially fun for OSU fans because of the sheer hatred they have for the Arkansas Head Coach.

News just broke via twitter…

KJ Hill is A 6’0″ 188 lbs Four Star WR ranked #152 in the country. KJ is a speedster with great route running abilities and is a perfect fit for the slot spot. He will remind OSU fans of Philly Brown in Urbans offense. He will compete for early playing time and I would be shocked if he is a RS candidate based on skill alone. Will see early playing time on Special Teams for sure.

MotSaG Men’s B1G Basketball Power Poll

Another week down which means we move another week closer to March Madness. We are halfway through the B1G season and there is constant movement with some pretenders and some finally figuring it out. Where does your team (if not The Ohio State) fall on my list?

1. Wisconsin 19-2(7-1) Can anyone catch the Badgers right now? They are in total control of their destiny to bring home the regular season crown.
Last Week: #1
RPI: 8

2. Maryland 18-4(6-3) Getting beat by OSU by 14 unfortunately didn’t drop them below my beloved Buckeyes. I have to have the Terps above because of RPI and overall record right now.
Last Week: #2
RPI: 17

3. Ohio State 17-5(6-3) The Ohio State D’Angelo Russell’s are on fire. Thad Matta did a lineup change and it seems to have done wonders for the Buckeyes. Back to back wins over Indiana and Maryland have propelled the Buckeyes into the Top 25 but have a big match up against Purdue Wed.
Last Week: #3
RPI: 35

4. Indiana 16-6(6-3) The Hoosiers took it on the chin losing to their rivals Purdue last week but bounced back beating Rutgers.
Last Week: #3
RPI: 33

5. Michigan State 15-7(6-3) Don’t look now but Sparty catching a roll and defeated both Rutgers and TTUN by an average of 15 points between the two games. Don’t want to say I told you Izzo will get this straightened out but I might be right for the first time.
Last Week: #5
RPI: 37

6. Purdue 14-8(6-3) The Boilermakers have climbed their way into the Battle for Second Place. Purdue is on a three game win streak including beating rival Indiana and Northwestern last week.
Last Week: #9
RPI: 79

7. Iowa 13-8(4-4) The Hawkeyes looked like they were going to be a top team in the B1G but are on a three game losing skid.
Last Week: #6
RPI: 52

8. Michigan 13-9(6-4) Is the injury bug catching up to the Wolverines? Not yet they Beat Nebraska but lost to in state rival “lil Brother” Sparty last week.
Last Week: #7
RPI: 74

9. Illinois 14-8(4-5) The Fighting Illini are struggling losing to Minnesota but beating Penn State last week, their RPI and overall record has allowed them to jump in this weeks poll though.
Last Week: #10
RPI: 65

10. Nebraska 12-9(4-5) The Cornhuskers are on a two game losing slide and their RPI is turrible (Barkley voice). Things aren’t looking good in the Land of Lincoln.
Last Week: #8
RPI: 110

11. Minnesota 14-9(3-7) Golden Gophers might be playing tough and has moments of looking like they are ready to turn the corner and possibly get hot then they drop one to PSU. Beating Nebraska has helped ease some of that pain.
Last Week: #11
RPI: 89

12. Penn State 14-8(2-7) The Nittany Lions have 409 problems and basketball is just one of them.
Last Week: #13
RPI: 100

13. Rutgers 10-13(2-8) Rutgers might be home to the birthplace of college football but the Scarlet Knights aren’t any good at basketball, lost six straight B1G games
Last Week: #12
RPI: 116

14. Northwestern 10-11(1-7) I have no words for the Wildcats, one conference win not good.
Last Week #14
RPI: 160

As always comment down below let me know your thoughts, hit me up on the twitters or email me at AskMotSaG@gmail.com and let me know what I have wrong like you always do, looking forward to the talk about basketball just like we did with football.

Damon Arnette Becomes Commit #25

Things are going to be crazy the next 36 hours. We are quickly approaching NSD and for recruiting fans the greatest day of the year. Tonight a recruit that was committed elsewhere has flipped to the good guys and joins Urban Meyer’s stacked 2015 class. He may be the first or last to drop for OSU this week and that is why recruiting fans love this time of year. So let’s take a look at the newest member of Buckeye Nation shall we….

Damon Arnette commited to Ohio State via his Twitter Account…

Damon Arnette is a 6’2″ 185 lbs three star Cornerback from Ft Lauderdale, Florida. Arnette who was a South Carolina Commit until today flipped to Ohio State and took the spot vacated by former OSU commit Carlton Davis. Damon chose OSU over USC and Michigan. Damon is a big CB with decent hips and speed. He comes from a Florida pipeline school for OSU in St Thomas Aquinas. Chris Ash and Kerry Coombs will need to develop Damon more and get him up to speed but he has potential galore.

Commitment Times and Predictions For Top Remaining OSU Targets

Well we are about 40 hours until the strange thing of Recruits using a fax machine in 2015 to send a signed piece of paper that Mark Pantoni will then file and tweet out as we find out who is in and who is out for the 2015 recruiting class. So let’s take a look at the guys OSU is still chasing and when we will know for sure one way or another where they are heading.

Isaiah Prince- A 6’6″ 275 lbs Four Star OL ranked #107 in the country. Isaiah is pretty much down to OSU or Maryland his home state school. Things are looking good for OSU here. I would say OSU has a 51% chance of landing Prince.

Commitment Time- Weds at 9:30 AM EST

Prediction- Ohio State

Porter Gustin- A 6’5″ 245 lbs Five Star Athlete ranked #28 in the country. Porter is a stud athlete that can play on either side of the ball. He is down to OSU or USC. Porter was a USC lock for months but a late visit from Urban Meyer and final weekend OV has OSU in the thick of it. I would say OSU has a 45% chance of landing Gustin.

Commitment Time- Tuesday at 1:00 PM EST.

Prediction- Ohio State

Damon Arnette- A 6’2″ 185 lbs Three Star CB ranked #646 in the country. Damon is down to sticking with South Carolina or flipping to Ohio State or Michigan. He took a late visit to OSU and enjoyed his visit a lot. OSU chances I believe are at about 66%.

Commitment Time- Monday at 8:30 PM EST.

Prediction- Ohio State

KJ Hill- A 6’0″ 188 lbs Four Star WR ranked #152 in the country. KJ is down to Ohio State, Arkansas, and Bama. OSU has 90% shot at landing KJ.

Commitment Time- Wednesday at 10:00 AM EST.

Prediction- Ohio State

Mike Weber- A 5’10” 220 lbs Four Star RB ranked #78 in the country. Mike is a former Michigan Commit who flipped to OSU back in December. He has been pursued heavily by Harbaugh since he arrived and things have gone silent. This will come down to OSU or UM in a battle of rivals. OSU chance of landing Weber is 50%.

Commitment Time- Wednesday between 10am and Noon EST.

Prediction- Ohio State

Torrance Gibson- A 6’4″ 200 lns Four Star QB ranked #72 in the country. Gibson committed to OSU a few months ago. We knew at that time he would take all his visits and he did. LSU and Auburn are the 2 biggest threats here. OSU has a 33% chance of landing Torrance.

Commitment Time- Wednesday at 8:00 AM EST.

Prediction- Ohio State

As we get more info I will update this list. As of right now if you dont see a recruits name on here eitehr they are already 100% committed to OSU or they have taken OSU out of their places they may choose. Needless to say the next few days will be exciting and nail biting. Sit back and relax and let the process work itself out. Trust in this staff to get the guys they need and want.
