What's the story on Guarantano?
- Thread starter Ty Webb
- Start date
No reports in Ohio State recruiting sites saying that Meyer told JG to hold off committing. They're actually going after him pretty hard. The same sites do say that it seems that while he was a heavy lean not too long ago, he seems to be shifting more towards Rutgers. A combination of OSU's depth chart, and the allure of playing for the local school.
Czli, your comment earlier on this thread was short and to the point. As I've always said ...Ivies are on the need basis and somehow meet meet everyone's need if they want or need you. It's then up to the player and family to decide.
I did not realize there are TWO Haskins being recruited...both qb's, one from Maryland and one from Bergenfield....bergenfield may be used as a TE in college

JG should wonder how big his window of opportunity is to get on the field at OSU. He'll most likely be redshirted his freshman year there with Barrett being a SR. Then the highly regarded Danny Clark, ranked #2 QB for 2017 steps on to campus. Clark is the ultimate Ohio local hero. Committed as a soph to OSU and maybe one of the nation's highest rated recruits in 2017.
And they are cousins, and close.
Haskins could set this up where he's playing with his best friend from NJ, his close friend from Maryland (Diggs or Ellis) and his cousin. And they would do a ton of winning together. What a dream come true.
Guarantano could set it up where he stays home and plays with some of his best friends and lead an NJ football shift that will keep building on itself.
One of these guys will like best the opportunity that Rutgers can uniquely offer. It's going to be exciting if either guy commits.

Rob, There are actually three. The Bergenfield guy I think is a WR and there is another one St John's Vianney who is an athlete.. All very talented. Obviously.....I think the first two are related. .The QB is originally from Highland Park . His dad was a pretty good ball payer ..
he should come to RU, best opportunity for him, but who knows what they are selling in TN, they have recruited better than most
I'd like to see everyone in this thread try to pretend to be JG and give us their thought process. Suffice to say, I think it is a very difficult thing to consider.
On the one hand, his Dad knows what attending Rutgers was like.. back then.. before NFL teams started snapping up Rutgers players with any frequency. Maybe his Dad always wondered what it would have been like to have played for one of the big boys...
On a different hand, I see people talking up Ohio State.. Meyer's QB rep is.. well.. odd. Check this out from 2013.. before his 3 QB season and still-MNC at OSU. Here is a clip..

If I were a QB.. I'd be very careful evaluating an offer from Urban Meyer.
It depends on what you are trying to say with your examples. If it is that Meyer recruits a bunch of quality college QBs creating a depth issue, than that is true. You can't hold Meyer accountable to QBs who were eligible during Tebow's career as busts because they got beat out for the staring position.
If you are saying that QBs in college aren't successful under Meyer, that is not true.
If you are saying that Meyer has a system that doesn't allow QBs to be drafted, that is not true.
If you are arguing that he hasn't produced a bunch of NFL All-Pros at QB, then that would be true. But my follow up questions is name me a Current Head Coach at a perennial top 10 program that has.

GoodOl, as I mentioned above, if the issue is one of depth, then that is legitimate. If it is about a quarterback not being able to develop under Meyer, then I question that argument.
How a player feels about a team's depth and how they would be able to compete for playing time is up to them. I won't determine for a player what is best for them.
