Looks like some schools are negatively recruiting OSU for their inability to produce WR's who are ready for NFL systems.

mitre it might not.
Benedict would like to remind you that he also has the saturno:
and the Camauro:
at his disposal.
The question "Does the Pope wear a funny hat?" is one that requires much thought. :)
With that, Benedict says adieu!
Popehat is a great blog.

Yeah, that was about as clear as ucla ad dan guererreo explaining his fucked up vote against satellite camps. Phrasing isn't a thing anymore.

exaggerated click-bait headline and very loose definitions of "childish" (by the OP) and "rant" (by 247 writer)

Did you go to his twitter and read the whole thing? He's posting Sesame Street characters and boasting about money.
April 22nd, 2016 at 12:09 PM ^
He is a clown. Didn' think I would ever see a coach tweet something out like this.
Bet whoever we sign in 2017 gets drafted before whoever you get. AND has 3 jobs lined up for when he's done playing... #PutYourMoneyUp

Not really, Michigan sells it's post graduation job placement and networking advantages as well.

Very defensive tweet. Must have hit a nerve.

Is it just me or is that "rant" hardly decipherable.

What is this now -- his 6th Twitter rant in the last year about other teams trying to compete in recruiting with him? The guy gets upset any time anyone talks about him... Tennessee, Nebraska, Michigan, etc. etc.
The fact of the matter is he is a sourpuss who will forever be a position coach because of it. The only way he could possibly ever negative recruit us is by saying, "Oh, yeah. Well Jedd Fisch is going to be a Head Coach in the next three years."
Funny thing too is I wonder what BS Urban has him saying about other coaches he's recruiting against. I remember stories coming out where Urbs was telling recruits that Brady Hoke was going to leave for a job in the NFL after the Sugar Bowl season...ugh why does everyone in OSU football have to be such a complete douchebag? Oh well here's to Zach...
April 22nd, 2016 at 11:56 AM ^
...how much of his claim has merit.
4 of those guys haven't caught a pass yet in the NFL,
Streater has got a total of 10 passes the last 2 seasons combined,
Devin Smith only 1.
Serious question: Who's the last pro bowl skill player to come out of OSU?
April 22nd, 2016 at 12:01 PM ^
David Boston or maybe Santonio Homes. Those are the only 2 I can think of.

From that PFT article you cite above. Every school recruiting against OSU has every right to bring that up and hammer it home. It's a daming statement coming straight from the Offensive Coordinator.
Offensive coordinator Chan Gailey said that Smith’s football education at Ohio State didn’t leave him prepared to make an instant impact at the professional level.
April 22nd, 2016 at 12:02 PM ^
Santonio Holmes??? I cant think of anyone else.
April 22nd, 2016 at 12:05 PM ^
He mad, cuz it's true. Sure, there have been some good OSU WR's, but way fewer than you would think given all the talent they recruit.

They, like a lot of schools, run a gimmicky offense that works at the college level. Most of the players OSU puts in the league that have any kind of success are defensive players.
OSU has only been running a gimmick (lol) offense for 4 years.
When Carlos Hyde is not injured, he's been very good for San Fran. Can't really fault the spread for Hyde's knees. Philly Brown was a starter on a team that made the Super Bowl. While the Devin Smith criticism is fair, he was also hurt a lot, and stuck behind two Pro-Bowl caliber WRs in NY, so his chances to make an instant impact were limited off the jump. Jeff Huerman tore his ACL immediately after arriving in Denver.
More importantly, your gimmick offense sample size is pretty small, no? All of the kids I just listed only played two years under Meyer, and wasted an entire formative season being head coached by a co-DC. Let's see how 'Zeke, Mike Thomas, Braxton, Nick Vannett and Jalin Marshall do before we bury OSU's ability to pump out NFL skill-players.
I quit reading your comment after "Carlos Hyde has been good when he is not injured." Have you watched Carlos Hyde in the NFL? I have had him in fantasy football, and he has never been good. He is on par with Antonio Andrews. I mean that's great for a guy who went undrafted. The fact of the matter is Thomas "3rd string at Michigan" Rawls has been better than Hyde to this point.
Except he isn't ok. He's injured. Probably for good (unless, you know, he's able to find David Boston's trainer).
His injury has nothing to do with the offense he played in college.
You're prattling about his value in the NFL.
He was my fantasy team also. I have watched him his whole career in SF and when he is healthy, he is very good. Last year he was on a dysfunctional team and then got hurt.
It will certainly be interesting to see how OSU players do in the NFL, and if they take extra time to learn the pro aspects of the game. There is no doubt many at OSU will get drafted because NFL teams love athleticism and high upside which OSU has been recruiting in spades. But the OSU offense is also predicated on simple reads to take advantage of that athleticism and minimize the mental aspects of the game. It's an offense that works really well in college and thatis Meyer's main goal; win in college.
\Harbaugh is using the NFL angle to sell Michigan to recruits because he's been there and many of his coaches have too. He doesn't have the track record that Meyer does so he's using his strengths in recruiting. The number of kids who he recruited at Stanford who ended up in the NFL is ridiculous if you look at where Stanford was in 2007.
Will be very interesting to see Meyer and Harbaugh recruiting against each other in the years to come as both are super competitive and are selling different aspects of success.
