I don't actively root against OSU, but I can't see this as anything but positive for us. I don't think we are going to start landing top 150 guys from the state of Ohio if OSU fires Meyer, but we might be able to catch a transfer or two we wouldn't have had otherwise if players start abandoning ship.

Even if Meyer gets let go, players aren't going to abandon ship. If anything this will hurt the pipeline we've been getting with guys like Trout.

I think he gets through this, if he doesn't, 0% Fickell goes there. He failed his audition.

Pipeline? What pipeline?

Kyle Trout, Torrance Gibson (although that failed, because he's a jabroni), almost Joe Burrow.

I'd say that's a pretty significant effect. Trout is likely a starter this year.

You forgot Schmidt, who was a washout that quit. Gibson was a headcase who couldn't seem to bother going to class at Cincinnati State and never really enrolled at UC, and far as Burrows goes, close don't count. A grand total of one player on the current roster. Not exactly a pipeline, more like a pipette.
In the past we've had tO$U transfers like Longo, Richard Hall, and Brandon Underwood long before Fickell ever showed his face on campus.
