Plenty of OSU fans have beaten drum, including the guy who created oversigning.com.I know there will be some attrition in the defensive backfield (transfers). Another (Bogard) who is probably looking at calling it a career after injury.
At least one on the OL is in danger of not having his scholly renewed.
A few guys have given up their eligibility already.
Urban and his staff have the real numbers, but I've never been one to beat the drum about over-signing. There is a level of accountability players have to meet in order for their scholly to be renewed as well.

If players have already told the staff they are moving on, then great. But the "we'll sign too many kids and hope a few current players fall off" line of thinking is sketchy and it is what SEC coaches were grilled for.
I don't know if this has already been incorporated into the numbers discussion, but Kyle Dodson seems like he's done with football as well.. A Cleveland Heights grad.

Still 3 to go
Stan Drayton has taken the RB coach job with the Chicago Bears. Reason I put this in the recruiting thread is because Drayton's relationship with Kareem Walker was a major reason for Walker committing to OSU. Could be a situation to monitor going forward.
Mike Weber on the other hand, is not happy. But he signed, so....too bad for him I guess.
As much of an OSU honk as I claim to be, this is a bad look on Ohio State and Urban Meyer. It was nice to see the overwhelming support the alums of the team have for Weber, but he got hoodwinked. I just hope he didn't sour right then and there...
Not much chance of looking good in this scenario.
But it's a business.
Unfortunately, I feel like that business decision will affect Cass Tech's approach to the business. The Buckeyes have done well at Cass Tech in the past, I'm weary that we're seeing the end of it.
The most disappointing part of it all is how Buckeye fans are treating it.. Trying to brush it off as nothing abnormal. I just would rather see OSU address it with everyone involved, rather than allow the journalists spin. You know Clay Travis is going to lay the boom on Meyer for this; I wish Meyer would address this in a fashion more than just talking to Weber and answering some media questions.
