I wouldn't jump to conclusions.

I will say that recruiting doesn't end until the letter is signed and faxed in.

Maddening.

How hard would it be for Walker and JG to say , "lets both commit and get this thing going"?

I am waiting for that day, and I feel like I've been waiting for that day for 30 years.

JUST FRACKING DO IT ALREADY

I guess all commitments are soft these days. Seems like an evolution to keep your options open when you observe things in your recruitment that seem to change once you commit. Remember what happened to Ford and Tennessee last year?

This is good news in every single way, shape, and form. Meyer can't be happy about it.

No kid is committed until Feb. when he signs his name.

Flipping is a part of it, which is why I try to not follow this stuff too much anymore.

Not saying Walker will flip to us or anyone else, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he winds up somewhere other than OSU. Getting first verbal these days is almost the kiss of death.

This.

It used to be that verbal commitments popped up during the player's senior season, or immediately before. And most of them stuck.

Now, with commitments coming earlier, they're all "soft". Kids change their minds.

Maybe he's on spring break and figures catching an RU practice isn't a bad way to spend the day...

Or maybe he's really interested after visiting two weeks ago..seems more plausible.

This. I don't know why people keep pushing the idea of courtesy visits or a nice place to sound the day. For Walker to get there one of his coaches has to pick him up and drive him. It's not like he hope in his own car and shoots down the parkway. It's a commitment for multiple people.

This and this, lol. I was never a big recruiting nut, but even less so, now. Only reason I'm on premium is that there's some very good content and much more football talk (if you get tired of threads about pizza and moving violations).

Coming down to see a game is one thing, practice is something else.

Maybe he has his own car and wanted to see a few of his friends who were also going that day?

Walker, JG and Gary can chose the situation they think is best for themselves. No issue with that.

But all three talked before last season about going to Rutgers together, and JG said, and I am paraphrasing, we are waiting to see how competitive RU is in the BIG his year. Well, they got their answer, 8-5, we are competitive.

So what is holding them back now? Come on guys, you saw we can compete without you, imagine what we could do if 3 guys like you come to RU and lead the charge for more recruits.

None of the three are going to be saviors, football is much more than 3 players as we all know, but if those 3 guys came on board, I really think it could open the "floodgates" for recruiting.

There is a pic out there with KW hanging with EJ Barthel today.....

How does his running style and performance compare to Savon's high school tenure?

He performed better than Savon against the elite teams.

I thought Savin had exceptional balance in high school but for whatever reason it didn't translate.

Kareem Walker is at RU today per our Rutgers affiliate

uhhhhh why?

I guess no one is committed until signing day.





I wouldn't be concerned. My bet is he is there with teammates.

Not concerned... just seems kinda pointless, i mean its rutgers. I'm gonna go with the day off school route.



I was told he's there with his coach and teammates just visiting two old DePaul Catholic guys practice

Would not be concerned.



Last year Urban Meyer told a prospect "We don't recruit against Wake Forest."

I would say the exact same phrase should be uttered in relation to Rutgers. Good heavens, seriously? Rutgers is not an elite football program to say the least.



I think you are correct in us not recruiting against Rutgers. But with NJ kids it is different as it is the home school. So, if you want the elite NJ kids you will probably have to recruit against Rutgers.

I doubt Walker is seriously interested in them, though as he seems like a kid who wants to play on a team with a legit chance to compete for titles. No offense to Rutgers, but that isn't them.


Rutgers


Rutgers Al has called the flip. He never misses



Either way, it is a long way 'till NSD. Threat or not, we are going to have to accept commits visiting elsewhere.

Do you honestly think Urbz is gonna let the kid take off for Rutgers? Pffft. Nothing to see here. This kid is an elite prospect. ELITE. No way he spurns us for RU.

interesting.. Jarrett Guarantano visting Ohio State and Kareem Walker visiting Rutgers

Bartow will be on in a moment telling us that Walker's final choice will come down to the wire....

We will never see a recruit commit to Ohio State early then change his mind for Rutgers.

T used to encourage the Buckeye commits to visit other colleges so they wouldn't miss out in the "fun" and get the idea of other campus. So, no worries. There aren't any serious rumors on Walker.

just because OSU is better than alot of schools, doesnt mean its the right fit for every kid in the country. Some of you guys need to open your eyes



Last year we did that with Cager, a borderline offer guy who was playing around trying to bide his time waiting for ND and Bama to offer. We pulled his offer when EGW starting looking like he was going to keep his nose clean and Stump took his spot.

You don't get to do that with the number one back, by almost everyone's rankings, who has offers from everyone. Should we have told Zeke we don't recruit against Missouri?

Why report it then?


If they didn't report there would be a larger panic when it's spreads via soc med.

That's true if we're talking about good programs or we're taking about good academics. Rutgers has neither.



Because he's thrte. It's actually his second time in two weeks.

Next time we won't tell you cool?

Anyone who thought visits weren't going to happen must be brand new to Bucknuts. Until I am told otherwise by the staff here I am not going to worry about visits like this.

Just stop Rutgers is dog ****

some people on this thread are clueless

so good players should NEVER go to inferior schools? they should all just line up to go tOSU? what happens when we fill up? clueless is right...

Lol, don't tel Rutgers fans that, they somehow got the idea they are on our level. As much as I want these Jersey kids at OSU, if every single one went to Rutgers they wouldn't win the BIG, let alone a playoff game.

Maybe he has his own car and wanted to see a few of his friends who were also going that day?
Not in this case.

hardly a surprise...right now they are the kings and we're talking about message
board guys...most of whom are obnoxious to begin with...

all that aside I think this one is not as safe as they insist...

Because if you're concerned that OSU has over-recruited at your position, Alabama surely would never do the same?

It's a long, long ways to NSD. We could end up losing Walker who made a statement to ESPN that he's concerned about the OSU RB depth. Who knows what happens ? I know we're close to getting another 2017 RB commitment from an Ohio kid rated high called Sibley who I've seen play. A super high school back. Stay tuned. An early commitment doesn't mean anything solid anymore except that school is currently at the top of the kid's current list. Hell, we'll probably all be surprised if we go back on NSD 2016 and look/compare today's prosects/commitments to who really signed with both Rutgers and OSU. It sounds like OSU is really going to have to work hard to keep Walker though.
