OSU dips into JUCO Ranks to Land Former Alabama 5*

CB Kendall Sheffield from Blinn College to attend OSU.  Initially signed with Alabama in 2015. Going the JUCO route is one advantage OSU has that a school like Michigan will never have.

It reminds me of a throwaway line in the first episode of the TV show Community. It was along the lines of a guy going to this community college to get a degree because apparently he lied about his credentials, and the teacher said "I thought you had a degree from Columbia?" and the response was "I do, and now I need one from America."

Damn, even when they scrape the bottom of the barrel and go the JUCO route, they get a 5-star.

They are really starting to get on my nerves.

Jeesh, Ohio State now has the 247 #1 class with only 19 commits to Bama's 26 commits. 7 Five stars is insane.  12 top 60 players is even crazier.  Ohio State is taking 22% of the nation's 5 star recruits and 20% of the top 60 players, and they aren't even done.

It's a football only type of school and thats the type of kids they attract. That is why when they can go to the nfl, most of them go. Alabama is worse. Have you ever heard Derrick Henry speak. Are you kidding me. I play football. It truly bothers me that DPJ was even considering osu. I don't think it is a bad institution per se, I just think the football  players don't go there for any type of education. I.e Cardale the future neurosurgeon.

Urban Meyer is football coach and that is all he is!!!. Nick Saban same!!. They do not give a fuck about anything except wins and losses and both of them are at the proper institutions.

Since I am on a rant. Who names buildings after a guy who tries to punch another teams player in the throat because he intercepted the ball. Of course Clemson shows them by grabbing another mans package. Hopefully clemson won't name any buildings after # 42 Wilkins.

Having the top recruiting class doesn't assure championships it helps, certainly over the long term. That's why OSUand Alabama have been playing for championships.

went juco because of academics?  I think he couldn't handle being a 5* who was buried on the depth chart at Bama.  If a player transfers to a juco, he doesn't have to wait a year to play.
