2nd top prospect decommits from Ohio St.


http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25459403/jake-wray-decommits-ohio-state-making-second-player-do-urban-meyer-announced-retire-following-rose-bowl


No. 56 ranked prospect Jake Wray decommits from Buckeyes.


Ohio State has lost two commitments from the 2020 recruiting class since Urban Meyer announced his retirement on Tuesday. The first to depart from the class was ESPN Junior 300 safety Lejond Cavazos, and now ESPN Jr. 300 offensive lineman Jake Wray has also backed off his commitment to the Buckeyes.



You always get this when a big name Coach decides to either jump ship or retire for health reasons like Coach Meyer is doing. How much more bleeding will occur only time will tell.
To be clear: those are juniors? Nothing from the 2019 class yet.

Well, yes. But tOSU has a great group of verbal. That I have seen, none of those have jumped.

Think Urban will keep him on when he takes over in 2020?

Funny you say that.  It has certainly been a discussion out here.

Personally...would not want him.

Early signing period was the driver behind the timing of retirement.
Recruits were calling asking about his future. Maybe some will change their minds.  They could also change their mind after signing if he delayed which would have been unfair to them.

The funniest thing of all is that OSU fans think UM won't be coaching elsewhere in two years.  UF fans were similarly delusional.

in some cases, apparently, yes.  Ref the following:

Meyer was one of the best recruiters there were. Farrell thinks he was the best in fact. Although my numbers dispute that. He was a great national recruiter too. Farrell thinks he was the best because of that. The numbers I get dispute that too. But like he said more of 1 and 1A. Saban has had something like 9 #1 classes since 2002 and to me nobody can touch that.

I think his health is even worse now though. But a competitive guy like that you just never know.

Jim Delany says College Football Playoff doesn't define Big Ten:

Big 10 teams sticking with nine league games.

http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25460556/big-ten-commissioner-jim-delany-there-no-plans-reduce-number-league-games-nine-eight


I'd have to agree with their decision. With 6 teams not above .500 there really isn't any need to schedule weaker teams. They already have them. And it's an easier way for them to keep all of the money for that game in the Big Ten.

If they played 8 conference games like God's Conference they would have more teams over .500.
