Focus on 1 side each season. uckeyes are looking good, man. People are going to regret visiting the horse shoe for years to come now. Sent from my SM-S928U using Operation Sports mobile app

Thanks. Yeah offense looks really good.. I have my entire RB returning next year so Dubois and Te'o will most likely Redshirt. I also only have 2 starting 0-Lineman graduating so right now all 3 of those guy's will likely get a Redshirt season.. I have 2 5* Tackles I redshirted last year so I can't imagine the new guy's will be rated higher.. Typically my rule of thumb is unless the guy is the highest rated at a position or unless I just don't have the depth and they are going to be a key backup I try and redshirt them to get max boost in their Overalls by the end of the career. I could see one of the 2 WR's potentially making the Top-5 WR spots and well in public I might say there will be a open QB competition, I am like 99% sure the job will go to De La Rosa.. I will probably encourage Redziniak to transfer as well as 1 or 2 of the current 4* guy's potentially that are redshirting. That would give me Ledford as my #2 and a Senior, Sampson as my #3 who would be a RS JR and then whatever 4* Guy I keep as my #4.. I could then bring in a QB in next year's class to take Ledford's spot on the roster and he could redshirt well Sampson steps into the #2 role.. That's typically how I like to try and keep the QB room. 4 to 5 guys with the redshirting guy typically replacing one of the Top-3 after graduation and then the next guy up.

As far as the rest of this class. I still have 16 guys on my Top-25 Board unsigned.. 5* Tyler Bail is the only guy who could end up on the Offensive side of the ball.. The other 15 guy's are all Defense.. I actually didn't realize I still have 1 more 5* guy in DT Clay Hamm the #12 Overall and #2 DT. He is from South Carolina so I am battling Clemson as well as Tennessee but I am leading and he still has a Week 12 visit scheduled with me. I got (3) 4* DT's and a 3* on the list as well. I might pull 1 or 2 of the scholarships if the other guy's sign. I typically like to keep around 4 DT's on my roster sometimes 5 if I plan on redshirting a guy.

So this class still has a chance to fill alot of my Defensive needs as well. My current CB room has 2 JR's and 3 Sophomores, so that is a position I would like to try and find 1 or 2 guy's in the Portal and a spot I would hit hard next year. I also need to land a few more DE's.. Typically I try and keep 6 guy's on my roster. 4 active and 2 redshirting. Right now I only have 4 and 1 of them just hit the IR for the next 21 weeks. I forgot to update my Injury report but guy's are dropping like fly's.
