so Fred Ross chose Miss St? lame
Why is it OSU seams to lose big names at the last minute but never wins one at the last minute? Serious question.
not sure i’d call Fred Ross a big name. Treadwell was a big name and we lost out on him. But hell everyone lost to Ole Miss this year.
sure, Treadwell was the biggest name in regards to receivers, but it doesn’t mean Ross wasn’t a big name. Depending on the source, we had around four 4-star recruits with Ross being one of them. That is one of your top 4 recruits. Of course, 2 of the other 4 stars are receivers so we are still bringing in good talent at the position, yet the greater talent pool you can bring in, the greater chance one of those can turn into a big time receiver.
This. Ross wasn’t a huge name but one o if not the biggest name we had overall. Certainly with regards to WRs.
Even still my question remains, why can’t we close on some of these down the strech?
Does that kid in the bottom video have a twit account yet? He needs to know how much his verbal commit to OSU would mean to me.
