On paper, we are terrible at quarterback. Senior Jon Crompton looked awful last season and arguably the most talented backup transferred. That leaves us with two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster. We added a older guy named Rozier whose father, Mike Rozier, played in the NFL. He has been playing baseball, but is known as a terrific athlete. He's walked on for us, but is probably too raw to help us in the near future.
KN, it's interesting that you guys offered Montana, not Hendrix. We did just the opposite. We are really high on him as the strong-armed, dropback passer that Kiffin wants in the offense. I wonder if tOSU's spread style attack will work in our favor. Anyway, whether it's tOSU, ND, or UT, whoever gets his services is going to be very happy on signing day. |
Yeah actually people are saying that Hendrix is a better QB prospect than Montana! Both are currently 4 star recruits but like you said, you would've thought that Tressel and Co. would have the lockdown on in state recruits but we have been going out of state more and more particularly going south to Georgia and Florida in recent years for recruits. Hell we let Brady Quinn slip away to ND a few years ago and he is from Columbus! Cincinnati has been stealing a lot of the better in state recruits away from tOSU lately because of their resurgence and early playing time that you wouldn't necessarily get at tOSU right away. Pryor has tremendous upside and showed this spring that he has a deadly accurate cannon arm combined with his agility and speed he is going to be very special when all is said and done but knowing that he is going to be at tOSU for at least the next 2 to 3 years, recruits are shying away from the Bucks. Tressel has been implementing the spread offense little by little for the past 3 years but this will be the first year when we mostly run it all the time due to Pryor's assets. Right now Pryor has a really good senior backup in Bauserman and a few walk ons as his backups. Nobody really for next year if something happens to Pryor which also leaves the Buckeye Nation scrambling for a QB recruit. I wouldn't blame Hendrix if he choose UT over tOSU to be honest.
BTW, I have a friend in Florida whom is a avid Vols fan and when I was down there on Vacation last year visiting, we watched the Tenn / Florida game. I can see why Crompton got threaten because I thought my friend and his wife were going to smash their TV. LOL You guys will be back on track to national prominence in a year or two but just promise me you'll have a few down years in 2017 and 2018 when we have a home and home series with you guys.
