The Whiner has already convinced two confused souls to drop their current commitment to a B1G school and turn and follow him to the land of sanctions, useless presidents, and awesome tattoo artists.
Penn State's best recruit Tommy Schutt, a highly touted defensive tackle is now committed to Ohio. His committment to PSU was very soft since the abuse scandal has been made public. Ohio was the next logical choice for Schutt. His dream school was Notre Dame, but his offer was taken away once they filled their needs on the defensive line. It will be very interesting to see how he matches up for the next4 years against our very own Ondre Pipkens. They both are huge high school seniors who are expected to come in and contribute in their freshman year. Which one will live up to their recruiting grade? If both do, us fans will be lucky to see 2 great DT's for the next few years.
Next is a recruit I was expecting to switch alliances since The Urb was announced at Ohio. Se'Von Pittman, the class of Sparty's recruits, who was turned down by Michigan earlier this year, announced yesterday that he was headed to Columbus as well. This leaves Sparty scrambling to replace half of their 4 star recruits (they only had 2 before this), and also worried what their other 4 star will do. Most expect him to switch schools to somewhere a little more big time (Ohio or SEC). What a difference a year makes. When Sparty was actually competing with Michigan on the big time recruits in the state, to now when they can't even get multiple highly rated recruits.
These two recruits teamed up together on one DLine is a scary thought, even more so when it is for our hated rival. An interesting question here though is, will these two committments help Ohio more than it will hurt the PSU/ MSU programs? It will be fun to see this play out...
