Bottom line by August Ohio State has to lose 3 more guys from this roster. 85 by fall camp is a NCAA mandate. Where OSU is as of today matters only to people who want to use oversigning as a tool for trolling.

Not Loving This

Getting ready to watch the Buckeye and Boilermaker showdown in a few minutes? Well here’s a kicker forward Marc Loving has not made the trip to West Lafayette. According to sources

“Sophomore forward Marc Loving did not travel with the Ohio State men’s basketball team to Purdue,” the school’s statement read. “He has temporarily lost his privilege to wear the Scarlet and Gray.”

The team announced this news withing the last hour. When we here at MotSaG have more we will bring it to you. Going to be a tough game going against Purdue and their “twin towers” this just makes it much more difficult. The Buckeyes can still get the win and Thad Matta and staff are sending a message.

Four Star Offensive Lineman Isaiah Prince Officially Signs with the Buckeyes

Source: 24/7 Sports

Source: 24/7 Sports

The 2015 National Signing Day has certainly been a good one for the Ohio State Buckeyes, picking up some great players to round out a stellar 2015 class. One of those great players they were able to get at the last-minute was four star offensive tackle Isaiah Prince. The 2015 recruit is from Greenbelt, Maryland, stands at 6’6″ and weighs 272 pounds. Prince is the fourth offensive lineman added to the 2015 class, which overall is another top ten recruiting class for Urban and the Buckeyes. According to 24/7 Sports composite rankings, Prince is the 7th highest rated offensive tackle in the nation and the top offensive lineman in the state of Maryland in the 2015 class.

Prince chose the Buckeyes over Maryland and Alabama. Both schools were recruiting Prince hard and Maryland was especially thought to be a favorite by many with Prince being a home state recruit. It demonstrates how great Urban and his coaching staff is on the recruiting trail to go into other states and “steal” players right from under their home schools. Prince visited Ohio State on January 23rd and was recruited by Ed Warinner and Larry Johnson. Here’s video of Prince making his decision at his high school, Eleanor Roosevelt:

Welcome to Buckeye Nation, Isaiah Prince!

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.
