MotSaG Chat with Nyheim Hines- Visit Recap

June 5, 2014 by 4 Comments

4star_recruit_iconosuHelmetWatching the highlight tape of class of 2015 standout Athlete and All-Purpose-Back, Nyheim Hines, you notice all of the great skills that have college coaches wishing he could play this season for them. The way that he carries the ball, his feet, and oh yea his speed!  Standing 5-9 and weighing 186 pounds, the Garner, North Carolina star runs a blazing fast 4.30 40yd yard dash.  4.30! He is only a junior in high school and has not even been training at the college level yet!  The blazer recently visited Ohio State, and he was amazed at what Ohio State had to offer.

“I was speechless.  They have some of the best facilities there.  They are really only comparable to Oregon.  Everything about Ohio State is just amazing,” Hines said about the visit.

Nyheim_DNAOne of the facilities that he liked the best was the new field turf.  He said that because he cuts and jukes so much he loved the field turf because it can help with his moves.  Meeting Urban Meyer was also a special thing for him as well.  He loved Urban Meyer at Florida and Urban Meyer told him that he would make the perfect H-Back, a role made famous by none other than Percy Harvin.  He wants to play H-Back in college, and said that Meyer told him he would flourish in their offense.  Many fans not only of Ohio State, but  that are familiar with Urban Meyer’s offense, know that the H-Back is usually referred to at the “Percy Harvin Position.

“If I came there, I wouldn’t be going there to be the next Percy Harvin.  I would be going there to win.  Whatever I need to do to help us win,” Hines told me.  Urban Meyer knows of his capabilities and speed and he is a perfect fit for this offense.

Going through the recruiting process has kept Hines busy.  With hundreds and hundreds of people giving him advice as where to go, what schools to visit, etc, things can get a little hectic, especially for a high school student-athlete.  I asked Hines what is the best advice that he has received throughout the process.  There are two pieces of advice that he received that he said have really stuck with him throughout this whole process.  One of those from a UNC coach and the other from his father.   The UNC coach told him about the importance of becoming a man.

“I hope you become a man throughout this process.  You have to be real with everybody. You need to be able to have a man to man talk with coaches, about what you actually like and dislike about every place,” one of the UNC coaches told him.  Hines became more of a man throughout the process as he got more letters and offers.  Another piece of advice  that he said he really took to heart was the advice his father gave him, and which every college recruit should take to heart also.

“My dad told me that I should not let football use me.  This is a decision for forty years, not four years,” Hines’ dad told him.  Mr. Hines is correct on many levels.  Nyheim understands this and that is why he really took this advice to heart.  He knows that if football doesn’t work out, the academic side of the scholarship, will help in the real world.  This is good advice for all recruits.

Besides running track, Nyheim is unsure of what his summer plans are.  He is going to talk to his dad and coach about the whole recruiting process and go from there.  He did tell me that he will narrow his list down to about seven or eight schools in the summer.  He also said that Ohio State will definitely be on that list and that he wants to go back to Ohio State already.  If he does not make it back to Ohio State in the summer, he will be back for a game in the fall.  Hines also can play the clarinet really well and can play the drums too.  He is also pretty darn good at tumbling, which shows you how athletic he is, but I do not know if he included that in his highlight reel.  He wanted to say to all Buckeye fans, “OH-(then the readers say) IO!”

Nyheim Hines is a speedster on the field, has nice moves, and can explode with the ball in his hands at any time on the football field.  Talking to him, he seemed really excited, but blessed to be talking about Ohio State and Urban Meyer.  He has many offers and has a good selection of colleges to choose from.  It is good that Ohio State will be on the list when he cuts it down.  Ohio State is really excited about the chance of Hines coming there to play that H-Back position, with his speed, versatility, and explosiveness.  This is a recruit that every Buckeye fan should get to know and watch this season.

MotSaG Chat with Tyrece Speaight

June 4, 2014 by Leave a Comment

4star_recruit_iconosuHelmetAs mentioned in previous articles, having star recruits as your teammates in earlier recruiting classes might leave you in the shadow and out of the limelight.  But, when you have TWO teammates going big time, well then, transfer because you probably won’t get any recognition.  That is not the case with 2016 wide receiver recruit from STVM in Akron, Ohio, Tyrece Speaight.  Tyrece’s two teammates, as I’m sure many of you know , are Dante Booker and Parris Campbell.  In fact, Dante Booker and Parris Campbell are the main reasons why Urban Meyer knows who Speaight is.  Speaight recalls, “It was the state championship game, and Urban Meyer was at the game.  I made a really nice pick and I remember just thinking, WOW! I just made an interception with Urban Meyer watching the game!”  It was then that he was taking notice of Meyer.  He has a strong relationship with Urban Meyer now and with Ed Warriner.  He says those are just some of the reasons that he loves Ohio State.

“I love the coaches there.  I really just feel at home there.  Especially with Dante and Parris being there and also I talk to Doran Grant a lot.  He just tells me it was the best decision he has made and he loves it there.  Parris also kind of took me under his wing and we have talked about playing together in college”

There are many things in favor for Ohio State and Speaight, but Michigan is the team he grew up rooting for.  He had good things to say about Michigan, saying,  “I talk to coach Singletary a lot, he is the director of player personnel there.  Mike Hart was also my favorite player growing up, I loved watching him play.  OSU was the first team to really start recruiting me, but Michigan is recruiting me the hardest.”

Speaight was just at Ohio State for the NFTC and performed so well that he thought he was going to be the MVP.  From all sources and accounts, he performed very well at the camp.  He is also going back on June 21st for the camp and will also visit the facilities and academics then too.  It is then that he hopes to earn an offer.  But if not, he knows that he still has to develop a relationship with all of the coaches.

The versatile athlete, who can play multiple positions says he is nowhere near a decision, but hopes to make one after his Jr year.  He does not have any leaders but loves OSU, Notre Dame, and Michigan.  He has the strongest relationship with the Michigan coaches.  If you don’t find Speaight on the football field, you can surely find him in the chess room.  “I know that not everyone knows this about me, but I used to  be in the chess club when I was younger.  I love playing chess!”  He has a clear message for Ohio State fans if he comes here by telling buckeye fans, “Hopefully if I come there, we can win a championship! Go Bucks!!”

Tyrece Speaight is very athletic, as shown by being able to play multiple positions.  I think Ohio State is in good position right now with Speaight because it’s early, but I think that Michigan is in an even better spot right now.  But it’s early and he has many friends at Ohio State like Dante and Parris.  It will be interesting to follow him the next couple of seasons at STVM.

MotSaG Chat with Venzell Boulware- Visit Recap

June 4, 2014 by Leave a Comment

3star_recruit_iconosuHelmetVenzell Boulware, a 6-4 OT, from Creekside High School in Georgia,  took a visit to Ohio State this past weekend.  He said everything about the visit was amazing and everything just blew him away.  “It was awesome!  I got to visit the school, tour the facilities, and check out the indoor practice field,” said Boulware.  Everything about the atmosphere on campus was just positive and made him feel comfortable.  It probably also helped that his host was fellow Georgian and current Ohio State quarterback, Stephen Collier.  He had good things to say about his visit with Collier, saying, “Friday night I just chilled with Stephen Collier and we got to watch the Heat game.  The next day we went to eat at the Eddie George Restaurant which was really cool too.”  Boulware also mentioned his strong relationship with Coach Warriner as a positive for the trip.  Having a strong relationship with your potential position coach is one of the most important things in recruiting.  We talked about the distance from Georgia and Ohio and he said, “I had such a strong connection there, I was so comfortable even though it is far from Georgia.  Georgia players have also had a lot of success there so that is neat too.”

In terms of his recruitment all together, Clemson was the leader, but that is no longer the case.  Right now he is open to a bunch of schools, and will narrow it down to a top 5 soon, which Ohio State will be on he said.  Right now he is focused on improving his consistency on the field as an offensive tackle.  He also wants to take a few more visits including a trip to California to visit USC and also hopefully coming back to Columbus for a game.  A commitment soon is not likely, but he will commit whenever he feels he is ready.  Boulware is an athletic offensive tackle with a lot of strength.  Clemson was the leader in this race at one point, but now there are a lot of schools that he is open to.  I would still look out for Clemson, but I think Ohio State is right in the race as well.  Having someone host him from the same state in Collier, helped tremendously with being a nice distance from home.  Collier was the right pick to host Boulware.  This is a recruitment that we will have to keep a watch on.

MotSag Chat with Chandler Ellerbe

June 4, 2014 by Leave a Comment

osuHelmetThe Georgia to Ohio State pipeline has been very good to Ohio State.  Raekwon McMillan and Stephen Collier are just two recent prospects from Georgia, that have spurned the south to play college football further North.  That could continue with class of 2017 wide receiver Chandler Ellerbe.  Many schools have begun showing interest in the freshman, including letters and camp invites from Florida State and Miami (FL), to go with interest from UAB and Southern Alabama..  Although he has not had much contact with Ohio State, he loves Ohio State and they are very high on the list.

“The athletic side of Ohio State is of course amazing, but the academic side of the school is really big and important as well.  Ohio State has also sent many Wide Receivers to the NFL.  I loved watching Devier Posey play.  They just sent a lot of wide receivers to the NFL.”

fbplayers201395_

Not only does Chandler love Ohio State for their athletics and academics, but many of his friends are considering OSU or have Ohio State high on their list including, Cameron Easton and Jared Payton.  Jared has done an interview for MotSag before and is familiar with the readers of this site.  Ellerbe says that the group of friends talk about playing together in college.

“I have formed friendships with other 2017 recruits that are considering Ohio State like Jared Payton, Cameron Easton, and Kevin Mensah.  Jared is like a big brother to me.  The four of us talk about playing together possibly.  I also wouldn’t mind being another receiving target for QB commit Danny Clark,” says Ellerbe.  It is clear that the commitment of Danny Clark is already paying big dividends with other recruits.

The rest of the summer will be filled with improving his game and also some camps.  While he is already a good route runner, he wants to improve his blocking techniques as a receiver and his speed.  He says right now he runs a 4.89, but hopes to beat that time next run.  He also plans to camp at some instate camps where big time coaches will be.  He says that because he is in SEC country, a lot of coaches come to the camps around the area, so he does not have to travel far to impress coaches.  He is planning on going to the Georgia State camp on June 20th and also he might go to a Georgia camp with coach Mark Richt.

Ellerbe is a huge basketball fan and even told me directly, “The Spurs are going to beat the Heat.”  Some confidence to go against the King.  He also loves music, just like every other teenager.  He is just like every teenager off the field, but on the field he is an amazing football player.  He is a recruit that will have many offers and his share of choices to choose from when he needs to pick a school.  Ellerbe is a recruit that every fan should watch on the recruiting path.

MotSaG Chat with Cameron Easton

June 3, 2014 by Leave a Comment

osuHelmetWhen your standing 6-1 and only a freshman, you are going to be noticed.  That is exactly what is happening with Upper Dublin, Pennsylvania Wide Receiver, Cameron Easton.  With interest from the likes of Florida State, Pittsburgh, and New Mexico State, and camp invites from Pittsburgh, Ohio State, Rutgers, and Maryland, Easton is just seeing his recruiting pick up.  He has many visits planned for the summer as well.  “I plan on camping at Pittsburgh, and maybe Rutgers, and Maryland.”  Not bad for just a rising sophomore.  He has very strong interest in Ohio State as well and recently got invited to a camp.  As for why he is highly interested in Ohio State, he says, “I really like the academic prestige and the tradition they have there at Ohio State.”  Easton hopes that he can earn an offer from Ohio State, but says there are things that he can improve on.  “Attention to detail on my routes is a part of my game I’d like to improve.”  If he wants to be a receiver at the next level, he will have to increase his wide receiver skills and become more of a complete receiver, which he will work very hard on.

As for the part of his game that he likes? “I feel like my worth ethic and desire to be the best is a strength of mine.”  Having a good work ethic is good for a freshman because they are the lowest on the totem pole, and need to work harder than most to catch up with the speed of the game.  He wants to give a shout out to Buckeyenation by saying, “Go Bucks!!!”  Easton is a young and talented prospect.  He is already 6-1, ideal for a tall freshman wide receiver.  He can continue to develop his game, and work out at camps to get better at the wide receiver position.  He is a hard worker.  I live in New Jersey and go to school in Philadelphia, so I’m hoping to catch one of his games or camps either at Rutgers camp or a high school game.  He is an intriguing prospect who every buckeyefan should watch over the next few seasons.

MotSag Chat with Todd Sibley JR

June 3, 2014 by 1 Comment

osuHelmetIt is now never to early to start recruiting.  Just ask class of 2017 Archbishop Hoban, Ohio Running Back, Todd Sibley.  Standing 5-11 and weighing 200 pounds, he is already gaining interest from some of the powerhouses around the Midwest.  Some of the schools that have been in contact with him are Michigan State, Florida State. Michigan, Purdue, Cincinnati, and Ohio State.  Todd had nothing but good things to say about all of the programs recruiting him including Ohio State, the home state school.  I asked him that because he is from Ohio does that mean he favors the buckeyes or grew up rooting for them and he said, “Growing up, I actually was neutral to Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State.  I did not pick a favorite between them.”  That is interesting because all three of those schools are showing him the most interest in him and because he did not grow up a fan of any of the three in particular, he is open to all of them.

Todd visited Ohio State not too long ago with his buddy and current commit for the 2017 class Danny Clark from Massillon, Ohio.  Danny invited him to the Spring game and had nothing but good things to say about Ohio State visit.  “I love the environment at Ohio State.  Everything was just so well-organized and well put together.  I got to stand on the sidelines which was awesome because we got to see them warm up and I even shook Urban Meyer’s hand which was awesome!”  Danny has also been recruiting him to Ohio State with him, saying that they talk about how amazing it would be to be in the same huddle and to win National Championships together.  Sibley and Clark have a great relationship and Sibley says they talk about wearing the scarlet and gray together.

Todd also made a return trip to Ohio State this past weekend for the Columbus NFTC.  He was not overall happy with his performance.  He said that he started off kind of slow but really turned it up later in the camp.  He said that he just wants to improve his game and get better.  He wants to improve his vision on the field, including his peripheral vision, citing it caused miss opportunities on the field.  His footwork also needs improvement.  He is a very tough critic on himself, but said that his strengths are the love of the game and his ability to compete.  Monday through Thursday he works hard on preparation for Friday nights saying, “I am always well prepared for Friday nights.”

As for Todd Sibley off the field.  Do not expect him to be sitting down, ever.  He does track and loves to workout and exercise.  He also mentioned how he does not see himself getting a job sitting own because he just loves to be active.  I guess football would be a good job then for Todd.  If you watch Todd’s highlights he is a great prospect.  He will only get bigger, faster, and stronger.  He loves all of the schools that are recruiting him and is open to anything in his recruitment.  Having Danny Clark on your side, already recruiting him for the class, is not a bad thing to have.  I asked him what he would say to Buckeye Nation and he replied with, “I am going to work hard for that offer! Go Bucks!”  Todd Sibley JR is a prospect that every recruiting fan should watch, especially Ohio State fans.

Keion Joyner- One of Nation’s Top Players in the Class of 2016

June 2, 2014 by Leave a Comment

When 247 ranks you in the top 5 of their initial class rankings for your class, then you must be pretty special.  Keion Joyner, from Havelock, North Carolina, is that and more.  Joyner is rated the number four overall prospect, number one OLB prospect, and number one prospect from the state of North Carolina.  Not a bad gig for the 6-3, 210 pound sophomore.  I asked him how it felt to be so highly rated in the 247sports rankings of the 2016 class and he said, “It feels excellent.  It just shows that hard work does pay off. Just an excellent feeling.”  Joyner was also very humble to being one of the most highly ranked prospects in the nation.  He knows there is a lot to his game that people love but also things that he could improve on as well.  He thinks that his strengths are reading the plays and just his overall instincts of the game.  That is key if he wants to play right away at the college level.   There are also aspects to his game he wants to improve like building his strength and speed in order to prepare him for the strong players at the college game, and also the speed of the game at the college level.

Right now, Joyner has a top 3 of Alabama, LSU, and Auburn, but does include Ohio State as risers on the list.  He loves many things about Ohio State.  One of those things is the play of the linebackers in the scheme.  “Watching Ohio State when I was younger, they were just hard hitters!  They just always hit the players with the ball hard!  I also love the scheme that they play in.”  To impress one of the top players country with the way they hit and the scheme is important because it gives the player a chance to see himself in the scheme and defense.  Next in Joyner’s recruitment is a bunch of visits.  He plans to make a Southern swing to LSU, Alabama, and Auburn to visit his top 3.  He also plans on visiting Ohio State sometime next month.  A decision is not likely anytime soon as he wants to commit sometime during or after his senior season of football.  He sure does have his options though.

Keion Joyner is also a singer! He loves to sing and also wants to learn how to play the guitar.  So when football is over, look out for his albums on the shelves of your local K-Mart.  Wait, this is the 21st century, look for the album on itunes. Joyner was such a nice person talking to him on the phone.  He had workouts, but still took time out of his day to speak to me on the phone, which I respect.  It will be tough for Ohio State to pull him from the SEC country, but if he visits Ohio State next month and has a good visit, then I think they can be right up there with LSU, Alabama, and Auburn.  Keion Joyner is a prospect that every Ohio State fan should watch over the next couple of seasons on the recruiting trail.

Justin Layne Interview with MotSaG

June 2, 2014 by Leave a Comment

When your teammate is one of, if not, the best, players in the state, and is also graduating a year before you, you can often times get over shadowed.  That is not the case with 2016 WR Justin Layne out of Benedictine  High School, in Ohio.  I’m sure everybody that follows recruiting knows Layne’s teammate and good friend, Jerome Baker.  Justin Layne is able to get out of the spotlight of Baker and to make a name for himself by the way he plays the game.  He holds offers from some of the top programs around the Midwest including, Michigan State, *ichigan, WVU, Miami (FL) and Pitt.  Although he does not have an Ohio State offer, it is one that he really wants and the offer would shoot Ohio State up the list right away.  “The Ohio State offer is the one that I want the most.  If they offered, they would be right up there on the top, probably alongside Michigan State,” Layne says.

Because he does not currently hold an offer, it is difficult for him to put Ohio State high on the list.  He is working to change that though.  “They told me they want to evaluate me more and to build a stronger relationship,” Layne told me.  So that they can evaluate him more, he is attending the Columbus NFTC, this weekend, and will also attend the Friday Night Lights Camp in July.  This will give the coaches an opportunity to further evaluate him as a player and even a person.  I asked Justin what it is like to have Jerome considering Ohio State very seriously and if that had any pull in his decision and he said, “I do not know.  We are just focused on a State Championship right now.”

Besides football, did you know that Justin loves to play the guitar?  He also loves to draw as well, (something I give him a lot of credit for because I still draw people as stick figures).  So if football in the long run does not work out, maybe he can become the next Hendrix or Picasso.    When asked what he would say to buckeye fans across the nation he said, “Go Bucks!”  Justin was such a nice and humble person.  When I talked to him he was actually just returning back from summer workouts, so he is already determined for the season.  He wants an Ohio State offer really bad, and to me, if they offered they would be the favorite right up there with Michigan State.

MotSaG Chat With Chris Agyemang

June 2, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Standing 6-3 and 208 pounds, it is easy to see why Chris Agyemang can play multiple positions on the football field.  For his high school football team, he played LB, DE, and TE.  He is athletic enough to run with receivers in the slot and bat passes down, and then outrun linebackers and catch the ball when the ball changes possession.  While originally a 2015 recruit,  he is doing a repeat year and is transferring to the 2016 class.  He is also changing schools for academic reasons.  His grades are not bad, he told me, he just wanted a better challenge in the classroom.  He will be attending Proctor Academy in the fall, in New Hampshire.  Lots of schools have been showing interest including, Bryant, UPenn, (hey right up the street from my school), and Yale.  Camps that he will be attending this summer include the blue chip football academy, UPenn, UMass, and Bryant, and a few more which he is still trying to figure out.

Chris knows exactly what he is looking for in a school as well.  He told me that academics are more important than football.  “I look for the academics first than football second. I know football isn’t going to last forever so getting a degree is crucial for me. Next thing i look for is being able to help a team get better in any way I can!”  I always love when recruits care more about academics than football.  It is good to care about football as well, but you’re a STUDENT-athlete.  Student.

There is one offer that Chris really wants and that is an Ohio State offer.  He had good things to say about Ohio State, saying, “ I love the tradition Ohio State has to offer! They are a big time school and have produced BIG time players! Great fan base as well! Gameday atmosphere must be crazy!”   Chris knows that he has a lot of work to do in order to earn that Buckeye offer.  Although he does not have much interest from Ohio State right now, it has not discouraged him.  “I got to grind hard everyday for 365. An offer from OSU would be very special to me. But like I said I’m going to do what I can control and that is working hard on and off the field. Patience is a virtue.”  He has the right mindset to earn that offer.  He loves Ohio State and even offered this to Buckeye fans, “Buckeye nation Waddup!! Chris Agyemang, class of 2016 if you don’t hear from me this year wait till next year! Grind time! Check out my tape!” 

Hopefully, the extra year in school will do wonders for Chris.  While he is getting lower tier interest from some ivy league schools, he is determined for that Ohio State offers and the determined ones are the hardest working.  It will be interesting to see how Chris’ recruitment develops, especially with that extra year to get bigger and stronger.

MotSaG Chat with 2017 Athlete JaCoby Stevens

May 30, 2014 by Leave a Comment

With the way the recruiting world is today, it is no wonder why everybody already knows JaCoby Stevens’ name.  The class of 2017 athlete, from Nashville, Tennessee, already holds offers from some of the top schools in the nation. The offer sheet includes the likes of Ohio State, LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, and UGA.  Impressive for a kid who just finished his freshman season right?  While he lists himself as an athlete he said that, “As it gets closer to 2017, is when I’ll know what position I will be playing.”  He retold me the story of how Ohio State offered him while he was at Summer workouts.  “I was at summer workouts and Coach McDaniel came to me and said you have an offer from Ohio State.  I was elated!”  While he was beyond excited for the OSU offer, he also said that he needs to get his head out of the clouds and go to work.

He does not have any favorites because his recruitment is just starting to pick up some steam.  He has a couple of crystal balls to Tennessee so I asked him why people think that Tennessee is the favorite right now and he said, “Everybody around me was going to Tennessee so I guess people just assume that I am too.  I’m open to every school though.”  Ohio State, is near the top of the list.  He had nothing but good things to say about Ohio State.  “I like OSU, they are big on their tradition.  I love that they compete for and win conference championships and the success that they have had in the BCS is just amazing.”  He also loves his main recruiter Coach Hinton, saying that Hinton has a good sense of humor and that he, along with the rest of the coaches on Urban Meyer’s staff, are just being real with him.  He has a good relationship with the Ohio State Staff which is only going to get stronger as his recruitment intensifies.

As for what is next in Stevens’ recruitment?  Next weekend he will be going to the Bayou, and visiting LSU.  He wants to visit Columbus over the summer and is very excited about that visit.  When asked if he could say something to Ohio State fans, he said, “Go Bucks!!”  Stevens has an impressive offer sheet for just a freshman and because he is only a freshman, he will have plenty of opportunities to visit the schools he wants to visit.   I like that he already has a strong relationship with coach Hinton so early in the recruiting process.  I think that can only spell good things for Ohio State. It will be interesting to see his recruitment develop over the next several years and is one that every Buckeye fan should watch going forward.
