Yup. After a redshirt year and a waiting on the sidelines year he will have two more years of recruits to battle. Anyone who thinks Meyer will hold off on recruits because "Joey is in the house" is greatly mistaken.

Welcome to the big time. There will be competition to see who rises to the top each year. To think that anyone would be guaranteed a spot is to not understand any of the big time successful programs. Joe is the type of kid who welcomes the challenge of that competition. Now the question will be where will he take on that competitive challenge? He is committed to OSU, but that is today. Lots can happen before signing day. Check out the crowd at the AHS basketball game tonight and see if you see any football coaches you might recognize.

And this is different than any other school how? Every college coach in the nation is looking to find the best players and to make their program better. Doesn't matter who you are or where you go, coaches are always looking for an upgrade.

Joey was putting photos of his home visit with Urban on his instagram yesterday. Nebraska is trying to shake that tree as well right now.

If Joe is reasonably intelligent and capable of making wise choices, he'll likely be able to judge for himself whether remaining at OSU is in his best both academically and athletically.

I never er said it was different - just stating the point that every year the mix gets larger. I'm so glad Joey is putting photos of he and his future coach out into the internet world. He should be proud. Hope it is not the only fond memory he has. Not surprised others are getting back into the mix. Gibson getting calls as well.

Will not be the 6th QB on the roster. He's better than Gibson if OSU wants a QB that can throw the ball..I think Joey will redshirt next season..Braxton and Cardel will take off for the NFL after next season..Joey will backup JT for 1-2 years and then he'll be the starter at OSU
Meyer was on a recruiting trip to Northern N.J. yesterday.
According to the paper he made a stop at Bergen Catholic High School who they say have a top Q.B. recruit.
They were saying on the radio that Meyer just likes to "stockpile" Q.B.'s.

Wouldn't you like a "stockpile" of Q.B.'s now?

Simple solution to our woes:

"Hi Joe, this is Jim Schaus calling. I hope all is well up there in Columbus and you're settling in nicely. Anyway, I'm just calling to let you know that you have 48 hours to transfer home or I'm going to fire your father."

"our woes." Paul let me know your "woes." I will light a candle for you. Me, I am good. No early meetings, practice, classes, homework, rehab or pending surgeries. No groin pull or broken collar bone. Knees are good, back is fine, shoulders are pretty good, ankles are good. No "woes" here. Sorry to here you have "woes." Hope you get better soon.

Joe Burrow would be the answer to our woes. We lost out on Roger Lewis, who is probably the best wide receiver in college football, because he felt like he would get more balls at BGSU. Next year, we turn over the reigns a former walk on who appears to be average, a high school recruit who averaged 100 per game passing in high school, an erratic back up and a red shirt who's last game action was when he tore his knee ligaments. We need a big-time quarterback to get the extra defenders out the box, not someone with a big arm that got recruited by nobody but us, because we don't find gems at QB. These are just the facts.

You forgot about the former wide receiver transfer who might wind up at defensive back.

It wasn't meant to be about Joe, but rather the backhanded slam on Urban for "stockpiling QB's", while we have consistently struggled to find a single good one. And it definitely wasn't so some haters could slam on anyone.

Sorry C Money, the one that we plucked from Big Ten Stalwart Minnesota, who recruited him as a wide receiver. Truthfully, though he may not have arm strength, he can run and was accurate in high school, he might be our best option.

I agree with the fact that one of the biggest problems is the lack of a better than average QB. Next year could be rough. Back to the triple option? ;)

Need a qb who's somewhat mobile, but mostly able to see/scan the whole field and doesn't lock on one receiver.

Arm strength at least to drill the ball, when needed, on 10-20 yard throws at crucial times in small windows.

I have thought the following from day 1 about this kid:
1) He never really considered Ohio
2) He's probably been red shirted this year
3) He's now looking at things and is beginning to re-think his situation.
4) When Urban brings in 1 or 2 higher ranking, than Joe QB recruits, in this years class Joe is really going to be thinking about his decision.

At the end of the day Joe should have looked at the success that Big Ben at Miami had, and playing for a Mid- Major did not hurt his NFL chances.
I think Joe would have been red-shirted at Ohio as well what with Vick as the senior. Next year he would have a great shot at the starting QB position because it's really going to be an open audition. Sprague, at best, is really just average.

Joe allowed himself to be caught up in the P5 hype. He does have the opportunity to change things, but if he doesn't make the right decision at the end of this year he will loose a year of eligibility if he transfers after his sophomore season.

In response to #3: Why?

In response to #4: Do you really think that an athlete who has done nothing but succeed at every level to national recognition would just say "I'm out" because of some competition? How could you possibly get as far as he has without a mountain of confidence? And better yet, if he is as mentally fragile as you seem to be suggesting, why would you want that frailty here?

+1, it's amazing how some can root against success of kids.

Not really sure of the rules, but don't you lose a year of eligibility no matter when you transfer? If not...then why is Krizancic sitting this year after his transfer from Minnesota?

Here is my understanding. As a general rule you always have to sit out a year. If you haven't used your redshirt, you can use that as your redshirt year, and not lose a year of eligibility. There is one way around the rule, though, and that is to graduate from college while you still have eligibility left. Thus, since Heitzman had already graduated from Michigan, he was able to transfer to Ohio for graduate school, and was able to play right away, using his final year of athletic eligibility.
