Michael McCray II, OLB/DE, Trotwood-Madison (OH) - MICHIGAN VERBAL

[GoBlue75]

Probably the right attitude, but I do find it interesting.

Here is the #44 player in the country, he has offers from everywhere. Why no OSU offer, though? It certainly lends credit to the theory -or- (and this may be worse) Is Urban Meyer that slow out of the gate? Is he not doing enough?

Well the two articles, and they are paywalled so I don't want to steal from them, outlined it clearly what is going on.

But to just generalize

1) OSU is basically willing to concede midwest players, especially early, to recruit nationally.
2) OSU is going after different players than Michigan on offense.
3) Hoke has taken his best recruiters and kept them in the midwest, RR sent his best to chase in other states.
4) Own the state of Michigan
5) Own the midwest

Sounds like OSU is using the dickrod recipe for success. Good luck with that.

LOL the other version of the rumor , since McCrays dad is an ex-OSU player, is he is gonna VERBAL to Michigan than OSU will come flip him back to OSU to make it look more Dramatic that OSU flipped a Michigan commit.

LOL...either way the kid wamts to be a Buckeye. I'd consider him a soft commit in the softest of soft terms till NSD

Hmm, if I was the coach of Trottwood I would not be too happy about that.

[ChrisBrown]

I don't know about all that. McCray has a lot of offers, but other than Oklahoma, I don't see any offers from the recent powerhouses. Nebraska, Penn State, Stanford, and Tennessee are very solid, but no sign of Florida, USC, Bama, LSU, or anyone like that. I recognize that it's still relatively early in the process, but it seems like this kid might be a tad overrated. I have no idea what Ohio State's depth chart looks like right now, either. It's possible that the Buckeyes aren't in dire need of LBs, and as such are only going after 5-star types.

[General283]

Does it not seem plausible to you? Does Urban Meyer not seem just like the type of prick, that would do something like that?

And FWIW: Sam Webb told be personally that Urb was doing a lot back channeling and working on all those committed kids from 2012.....and that he just didn't want it out there publically.

Are you really asking me to judge the rumored inner workings of a guy I've only seen on TV?

Yeah, I don't get why your Butthurt.

And no, I'm not asking you to judge it based on what you've seen of him on TV. How about you judge him on his actions: like stealing MSU's #1 recruit. That was real. That happened.

How is this butthurt at all? It has nothing to do with MSU or UM. It just seems like posting a completely unsubstantiated rumor with no sources is irresponsible.

A lot of you UM posters get out of hand during recruiting season. It's either Hoke just recruited a national title or Urban Meyer raped a paraplegic. I think there can be some room for some reason in here somewhere. To put some doubt in the idea that Meyer is not recruting top talent because he doesn't want to get embarassed by Hoke is reason.

[ChrisBrown]

I don't think Hoke is afraid of Meyer, I don't think Meyer is worried about Hoke, and I don't think there are any crazy games going on here. Ohio State probably hasn't offered because they have higher priorities.

I am, however, a bit skeptical about this McCray kid. Something seems off here.
