Battle Ohio St. OV is June 22nd. Every bone in my body is praying that after his Miami OV this weekend, 22nd gets nixed. Then we in.

No the best thing is for him to OV to OSU and not commit there, if he doesn't take his OV, OSU will still recruit him and try to set up an OV

Good thinking. I was agreeing with what he has said till u put it that way. If they burn their OV and he doesn’t commit then every other visit he takes up there is on his own dime. I think that’s the best outcome for us.

I think they hope to prevent a commit while he is up at OSU. Give his parents enough to cause them to go home to discuss. Even though we burn an OV so does OSU. We have time and proximity in our favor maybe.

This is a good take. OV this weekend is good news

And they almost always stick with their commitment. Glad we are getting him in on OV but that OSU OV looming scares me.

This
I would say I’d feel better if the visits were flipped but I don’t even know about that because he’d probably commit to OSU after that visit. Give him something to think about I guess but my money is still on OSU.

My money is still on OSU but I believe he’s planning to commit late June/early July and with a stand up kid like this then likely when he commits he shuts it down. It’s now or never with the next dead period coming up. Good move bringing him and the fam in on the OV this weekend imo.
 
Unless they know he’s committing within the next 2 weeks then it’s kind of confusing why they would bring him in on an official in June.

"They want me to stay humble, keep my education right. Go out here and ball. Be a team leader. Make sure everyone else know what they doing. Be a good character for them.”

Having spent over a decade in Sales, I can tell you that based upon the above type of communication that our staff is having with Battle, it does not sound like they are trying to convince him to be a part of this class. This is the type of communication that you have with a client (recruit), when you feel the deal is imminent, or your just waiting for the proper approvals/signatures to take place.

Based on this interview, (I get it, it's just one interview), the staff is no longer selling Battle on anything, they have moved into the advisory world. They cleary are confident on where they stand with Battle, even if, to the outside world, it does not appear as if they have a reason to be confident at this point.

**** got me hyped as a maf'ucker!

He's said he's committing soon. Just last week said he'd probably commit by the end of the month.

If you're going to shoot your shot, you have to do it now

OSU’s rush is out of respect for us and the traction we are picking up with him and overall in recruiting period. They know that the STA kids and South Floridian kids period are in our backyard and can get to campus whenever they want. They can’t afford to wait. When was the last time that “OSU locks” even gave us the time of day?? OSU locks don’t give UM any traction during recruiting season. For everyone who has their money on OSU...how much y’all got?
 
Desperation move by the staff. There is really no need to waste an OV on a kid in our backyard.

He will probably commit to OSU next week.

Miami made mistakes in the past and it looks like the staff is learning from it, so they want to make sure they show every top target much love.. The staff must've heard something so they aren't waiting any longer, they want to make their big pitch now!!

Too much questioning, just let the staff work.. For CMR to go about it the way he has, it's something more than we know!! Battle will be our next commit..
 
@337CaneNation oh how I wish that Battle was our next commit!! He is my favorite recruit in the whole cycle . Do you say this because of a hunch or because you know something?
