There's a reason JC recruits are visiting -- Plan B

Or, not seeing much improvement in the young LBs over the season.  We aren't making new offers to HS senior LBs (I don't think)--- the JUCO route is for immediate impact.

It's the same story as Stefon Diggs. Hometown school and family. I don't begrudge a kid staying home and going to his hometown school.

That sucks about Quick, but what other playmakers can Meyer now offer this late?
He's still got close to two months before signing day.

Remember, it was exactly a year ago when Meyer started recruiting, and generated the interest out of guys like Cyrus Jones, Davonte Neal, and Steffon Diggs, right out of the blue.

He can probably do the same this year with some top playmakers, just by making a few phone calls.

I've said it many times before on here if Strong is here next year Quick will more than likely go to Louisville if not I think you all get him.

You are completely delusional if you think Louisville moving to the ACC will keep Strong from leaving.  It's never going to be a top job.  Great coaches will always seek the best jobs.  Lousiville will never have the built in advantages of the top jobs that will keep a great coach long term.

"Matching any offer he gets?"  Yeah sounds like a marquee program to me.   I am sure Strong has always dreamed of coaching in front of 48,000 fans while utilizing sub-par facilities and harvesting the fertile recruiting grounds of Kentucky.  In the short term he could definitely stay but there is absolutely no way he stays there over the long term if he continues to be successful.

Apparently you are too stupid to understand what "long term" means which is what I clearly have repeatedly stated.  It does not mean 1 month or 1 year.  Have someone at your next special olympics competition explain it to you.  So I guess you aren't deslusional, just too stupid to know how to read.

Just because we're in the era of the spread, and Meyer runs a different offense than Tress, have you forgotten this is RB 'U' we're talking about?

Comes down to a final 2 of OSU and the mid-level home town program. 
In the end the smell of home cooking is just too strong.
Just wish it didn't have to be another elite WR.

Uh yes, we need elite receivers who can make YAC.  That is what this offense is about.  Do I have to remind you of Florida 06?
