The guy who i see as a possible come back player is Shaun Wade. Just a hunch.

Dobbins coming back for his Senior year? Not thinkable by most, but....... His comments about his non-invite to the Heisman presentation: “But I’m happy for my teammates. They didn’t choose me so I just have to work harder, so if there’s a next time, I can be there.” JK respects Archie too much to come back and surpass his rushing record.

he shared time with Weber On the day JK hit campus, he was the focus and Weber became the other option. It really doesn't matter if he got some time. The fact is JK has always had more and never did have to wait patiently as SJ said.

I think Dobbins is gone, as he should be. 3 year starter and one of the most accomplished backs in OSU history. He needs to go get that money. Don’t get me wrong, I’d be more than excited if he announced he’s coming back but I just don’t see it. I totally agree with you, BUT we must also agree and recognize, there are one or two surprises every year, we didn't see coming. As long as we can agree they normally do not come from the running back position.

can't wait to see our passing game next season Theres going to be WR’s on our team next year that probably won’t even see the field because of depth that would be the main target on about any other team. and will play in the NFL I know we have a stake as DB U but if you look at the WRs we have put into the NFL over the last oh 30 years, I bet we are right up there with anybody. Too lazy to research but it would be interesting to see NFL All-Pro (or even pro-bowl) teams from 1990 to present and break them down to figure out which colleges had the most players at each position. I bet we would grade out pretty high on the WR list.

The fact is JK has always had more and never did have to wait patiently as SJ said. Mike Weber had 172 attempts last year. Dobbins had 230. That is not some time. That is a backfield split. JK had to wait patiently to be a true lead back because Weber was always around and Weber was good enough to deserve some carries.

JK had to wait patiently to be a true lead back because Weber was always around and Weber was good enough to deserve some carries. In 2016, the year before J.K. Dobbins arrived on the scene, Weber carried the load with 1,096 yds. on 182 carries. Dobbins enters the picture in 2017 and immediately gets the lions share of carries (194) and racks up 1,403 yds. While J.T. Barrett is the 2nd leading rusher with 798. Weber was relegated to 626 yds. on only 101 carries.

JK had to wait patiently to be a true lead back because Weber was always around and Weber was good enough to deserve some carries. The fact that JK had 58 more carries, had more passes, hard more yards and had more TDs last year indicates to ME who the focus was. Add that to the fact that he was the starter as a freshman the year before and had 93 more carries than Webber. It's safe for me to say he has been the focus and since arriving. He may be a patient player but he did not WAIT for anything. He has had it since he put on the jersey. Three 1,000 yd rushing seasons as a 3-year starter tells us that. I think we are splitting hairs here but to me the term "waiting patiently" means while you stand on the sideline and JK never did that.

In most of our recollections, Weber was the starter and Dobbins was #2 on the depth chart and I think that was the actual listing on the depth chart. There was little doubt who THE guy was, it was Dobbins. Stats don't lie. Dobbins has set the bar pretty darn high for his successor! I think Master Teague III is going to be a great back.

Jeff Hafley has been named the BC coach.
Wonder if this will affect any recruits?
Sucks to see him go after just one season.

Already hearing Chris Ash rumblings as a replacement. Not here to validate those rumors only spread them. I do not know what the nature of his relationship with Day is.

These people that write things about Young coming back possibly just want clicks. There’s no way he comes back. He’s looking at a $30 million contract.

A couple of commits that are wavering a little before signing day tomorrow. Clark Phillips just visited Utah this past weekend. He’s signing tomorrow but not positive it’s going to be with Ohio State. And now tonight Cam Martinez says he won’t be signing tomorrow when he originally was going to and enroll early. He’s now signing in February which a lot of the times when recruits do that they don’t sign with the original team. We’ll see I guess.

Boom! The Buckeyes have landed the #2 pro-style QB in this class. 4* recruit C.J. Stroud is bringing his talented arm from Texas. With 26 signees, do they get good news on the lone, remaining question mark, in 4* CB Clark Phillips III? Phillips is announcing his choice Thursday at 11 am., between the OSU and Utah. I question if OSU even has room for him, let alone, WR Cam Martinez.

Chris Ash is off the board and on his way to Texas, so all things point toward Kerry Coombs......I hope.

Not that it matters but Stroud is from California not Texas.
I think with both him and Miller coming in, my precision is one of the two won’t be at Ohio State all 4 years with Kyle McCord also coming in next year.

Oops, how could I ever forget Rancho Cucamonga. Anyone remember 'Little Old Lady From Pasadena' - Jan & Dean? "The Annaheim, Azusa and Cucamonga sewing circle, book review and timing association"

Meant to say “my prediction” not precision, stupid auto correct. Not looking good for Philips tomorrow either.

Kerry Combs, as long as he will acquiesce and be willing to coach Ryan Day's Cover 1, Cover 2, One High Safety defense that was so successful this year. As opposed to favored NFL defenses.

I question if OSU even has room for him, let alone, WR Cam Martinez. 24 not 26 signees. The single most amazing thing I learned today about Ohio State's class is that THE 1# WR in the country, Julian Fleming, played in a Wing-T Offense in high school! Hartline says he has the most to learn about being a WR in Ohio State's offense. The thing Hartline likes the most about him is that when he blocks down field, which he did a lot of in a run dominate offense, is flatten the guys he blocks. At 6-2 200 he's a monster WR with 4.4 speed.

Phillips flipped and chose Utah over Ohio State. I respect his decision, that is probably swayed by a closer locale. However, good luck on any chance of playing for a national championship as a Ute.

While it sucks to lose out on him, there are plenty of younger guys on the current roster who were highly recruited out of high school that can still make an impact. And they will need to with Fuller, Okudah, Arnette, and probably Wade all leaving after this season.
