4 of their freshman have requested releases. Grandstaff early in the year and now giddens, Mitchell and Harris is the past 2 days.
Ohio state transfers
- Thread starter RU fanatic
- Start date
Unprecedented, especially without a coaching change or sanctions.
I'll have to see what my Columbus buddies at work think and report back.

Seems like lots of transfers in BIG looks like two at MSU, one a UM and of course as mentioned above 4 at OSU
Something is not right with Mickey Mitchell. He committed to OSU very early, then reopened his recruitment only to commit to them all over again. Now he's transferring? All after he broke his leg playing HS football and OSU never backed off of him because of the injury.
I always thought Ohio State was a poor choice for Daniel Giddens. He seemed much more like an ACC big than a B1G big.
Likewise, I didn't understand Austin Grandstaff picking OSU. In fact, I never expected him to leave Texas based on a conversation with his dad (can't trust nobody lol).

Yes I believe these guys will have to sit 2 years if they wanted to transfer to another B1G school. I could be wrong though.
Thinning the herd and cleaning house to open up scholarships to improve the team and roster is an art mastered by successful college coaches, but not in Piscataway. And guys like Pitino in Louisville can even get scholarship players to move to non-scholarship status to free up scholarships for new blood. Pushing the right players out the door here is considered a mortal sin.
This is why scholarships should be four years and more power to kids/ students to have the ability to change their mind. Thank god for classy Terry Shea honoring Justin Leonard's scholarship.
RU coaches have been thinning the herd for years. The most recent example is Goode's sudden "decision" to transfer.
Lack of available open scholarships is, and has been, the absolute least of our recruiting concerns.

The best of the herd is self-thinning. Bigger problem. RU coaches have not been good at thinning the herd of players incapable of competing and filling the roster with league-caliber talent/replacements.

actually this is wrong....concentrate more on players wanting to actively leave after staying at a place a minute rather than thinning of the herd because thats the bigger issue right now. The kids and their incessant need to transfer to other schools are changing the game.
