Can Urban "Put a Fence" around Ohio?

Urban's goal: lock down Ohio recruits

As we wind closer to National Signing Day, it's time to look at how well Coach Meyer has done. Certainly, one can conclude that he has made a significant impact in raising the profile and quality of recruits for Ohio State. Perhaps most importantly, he has reinforced the long-held importance of keeping as many top-shelf Ohio recruits as possible here.

In the words of Gene Smith during the introductory press conference: "We wanted a football coach who..would create the environment here with the aspiration for every single football player in the state of Ohio is to be a Buckeye..and have no other thought."


Did Coach Meyer accomplish that? Of course, we won't know for certain for a couple of days, but let's look at what we know so far, especially in relation to TSUN. We'll also take a look at how Urban's immediate predecessor did in HIS first recruiting season.

Congratulations To Former Buckeyes

Matthews had Rothlisburger wrapped up all night.

A.J. Hawk, Ryan Pickett, Dick LeBeau. All of these men are former Buckeye's that played/coached in the Super Bowl last night. With a hard fought game, Hawk was consistent all night, while Pickett was providing serious pressure, forcing many mistakes. 

The Packers won, and we salute them for a hard fought 31-25 victory over the Steelers.
