OG Chris Watt will be visiting OSU this weekend. This scares me. Hopefully we can survive this visit. If so, we will be in great shape but i'm not comfortable with the OSU visit. This has always appeared to be a ND/OSU battle.

I'll keep fingers crossed Rock..

with Watt, Mike Adams, and Brewster, Terrelle Pryor won't even have to throw a single pass (which in his case, may be even more of a positive)

Haha. I like that one.

 

So what our are odds here? I heard (all rumors) he is a OSU lean. So we thinking 60-40? or 70-30 OSU?

 

If we could land him that would be huge. With Z. Martin that would soften the blow if X. Nixon decides to stay in the south.

Some guy on the 4HL was saying 40% OSU (slight lean?) 40% ND 10% U of I 10% Skunkbear. Don't ask me how equal percentages equate to a slight OSU lean, but no matter.

 

Considering how he's taken millions of visits already, I'm not sure this scares as much as perhaps it should. The visit has been on the books for a while, so we'll see. I've also heard that he's working on another visit to South Bend, but that'll probably depend on how Columbus goes.

 

*Fingers crossed*

As long as he is working on that other visit to ND than I feel much better! If he does visit ND after OSU than that would tell me that he is looking to end this pretty soon. I always prefer to have the last visit.

I always find it funny when people assign percentages to a recruit.

 

Most people would agree that he is an OSU lean at this point, but is still considering other schools. How much OSU leads for him at this point is up in the air.....but they do lead for him by most accounts.

 

The downside for OSU is that they had an AMAZING O-line class last year, and always seem to bring in a couple of elite guys so they are stocked. He may have serious concerns about playing time if he choses them. ND has had a few good hauls on the o-line as well, but with the way our line has played it looks like PT would be available sooner if he choses us.

 

U of M is switching (has switched) to the spread offense, and I am not sure if this would affect his decision. The spread offense doesn't really prepare a lineman for the NFL, and may be why they are lower on his list.

I think he is a ways off from making a decision. There doesn't seem to be anything at this point strong enough for him to commit to either school, and he is still looking around. Calves - I'd say the percentages might be more like 30% OSU and ND and 40% "other. I think UM is in one of those 'other' schools and I wouldn't count out Northwestern as a potential (he seems to like the idea of playing with his brother again). There are a few other schools who may have offered or will be offering that he might be interested in seeing like Colorado as I've heard, so with those it depends on how he likes them when / if he visits.

 

I think he will probably line up and take all 5 officials and at the end of the day it will come down to ND, OSU and NU (potentially).

OSU and ND make up more than 70% of the odds for Watt, more like 90%. I HIGHLY doubt he takes any official visits. I truly believe his decision will be made before his senior year, probably well before than. My guess (total guess) is 2-3 weeks.

I find it like IrishGuy. These percentages are silly. "I'm .04% still in love with my ex wife. 85% Roman Catholic. I'm 20% against buying a Big Mac, cause they are unhealthy, Subway?. I'm 40% sure my Tax rebate won't come next week. I am 100 percent sure within two hours I will have to go to the rest room.

Sorry but I respectful disagree. I think you can have percentages when it comes down to schools for example. Say a kid is takin 2 offical visits, to me, each school has a 50% chance. Now if the kid says he is a School A favorite, then the percentage can be 60-40 or 70-30 or whatever it may be favoring School A.

 

Now if a kid says he LOVES School A, and School B has a small shot then the percentage would be around 80-20 or 90-10.

 

In my little world that all makes sense!

Great Spanish I was trying to be sarcastic amusing. Ahahahah I am crushed a late life job never makes me a comic.

Why not 51 - 49 or 63 - 37?

 

Using percentages is fine, it is just that they are nothing more than a guess. It is more accurate to say that the kid is favoring school A over B, C, and D, but to say he is 60, 10, 10, 20 is just guess work.

 

Remember 73.657 percent of statistics are made up on the spot.

I GUARANTEE I am right on this, and I am 50% sure of it.
