    Long way to go with Emaka, wouldn’t worry about his recruitment until fall.

    Scratch that, in Vegas for the Wilder and got to talk to some guys for the 7 on 7 tournament. Let’s just say UW doesn’t have as much time as I thought in making up ground. Ohio State and Clemson is his top two with us a distant third. UW is in trouble when he comes to Emaka.
    It’s almost like he researched our offense and oc hire and watched Clemson and Ohio state. Don’t blame him one bit.
    OC hire had nothing to do with it. The past two years of dreadful offense is what killed us. Add in that Ohio State is coming off a CFP appearance and are putting a bunch WR's in the pro's and it's a uphill battle to say the least. The info that I received today makes me believe it will be hard for UW to overcome the gap and frankly I wouldn't get your hopes up when it comes to Emeka coming here.
    Seems like if they don’t land Troy Franklin it’ll
    be a pretty underwhelming year at the position. Not sure if the Tinae offer is coincidental or not, but yeah not getting good vibes.
    Still think they land Troy

    Losing Emeka, a local Husky legacy, before the season starts, because of last year's offense, when we have a new head coach, a new OC, a new system, and Jesus Christ Superstar QB committed to UW in the same class as him, would be fucking devastating.

    LIPO, Emeka!

    Someone should make custom t-shirts with emeka's visage on it and the caption "you made it an easy choice ..." And send it to bushyballs and Peterman (and junior if he deserves it)

    Not sure why people are surprised about Emeka ... there been little evidence that he’s been high on us at all

    The fact that he’s been consistent on not wanting to take an official here has been your sign

    Ohio State is going to fall this year. Clemson probably won't

    There is a lot of time for Jimmy to prove this is the place

    Did Justin Fields die? Don’t see them falling off on offense with how good he is

    Climp is definitely not falling off until FSU gets their shit together in a few years.

    “Schools that are doing a really good job recruiting me, (Washington), Ohio State, Clemson, Oregon, LSU, Stanford, Oklahoma, schools like that.”

    The Huskies, Buckeyes and ACC Tigers are perceived to be in the best position for the No. 7 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite. Egbuka talked about all three.

    On Washington: I think Coach (Jimmy) Lake is going to do a ton of good things for the program. He’s going to make the offense more aggressive. I love Coach Pete too. Having him step down it was surprising but I think they’re in great hands with Coach Lake taking over.”

    On Ohio State: “They develop receivers every year and they just know how to play football. They develop their guys as players and young men and I have a great relationship with the coaching staff.” Egbuka also talked about coming in after OSU signed four talented receivers in 2020. “They think I have more versatility than some of those guys and they can move me around the field more and play sort of a Parris Campbell role. That is definitely intriguing. Coming behind great receivers there is nothing wrong with that and learning and competing against some of the greatest DBs as well as being more polished for the sophomore and junior years.”

    On Clemson: “New receivers coach, getting to know Coach (Tyler) Grisham a little bit and probably try and get down there this spring and see what he has to say in person and meet him and go over depth charts and his style of coaching.”

    Egbuka is aiming to get to Oklahoma this spring as well.

    “Because that’s one of the only places I haven’t been,” he said. “I just have a really good relationship with the coaching staff. Coach (Lincoln) Riley and Coach (Dennis) Simmons and they’ve been up to Washington countless times to see me so I think it’s fair to go over there and see what they have to offer.”

    Egbuka said the places he’s been the most are Washington, USC and UCLA with Ohio State the most after that. He also added that he talks to Ed Orgeron at LSU “regularly.”

    A decision could come at any point.

    “I don’t have a specific date in mind or even a timeline,” Egbuka explained. “Just whenever it feels right I’m going to make the decision because there is no reason to waste time.”

    Egbuka knows what he’s looking for in a school.

    “Probably opportunity to play, a home environment where I know I can fit in and even if I’m away from home it feels like that and a place that is going to develop me as a person and a player.”

    The Top247’s No. 1 ranked receiver Emeka Egbuka put on a show for his Heir Black team scoring nine touchdowns in three pool play games leading them to one of the more prolific offensive outbursts any of the roughy 120 teams had on Saturday. Egbuka’s highlight reel included a catch over the middle before quickly pivoting to reverse field shaking a few defenders en route to the end zone. From quick strike scores to chunk plays on short receptions, Egbuka was the day’s most exciting player with the ball in his hands.

    Ohio State hasn't lost two games since 2013

    They will lose at least that

    Including to Oregon

    They are on the way down with Day

    Ryan Day sucks

    Book it

    We’ll see. The infrastructure is so strong there that it’s hard to fuck up. It’s amazing he had a rep as an offensive guru. He had coached some truly awful offenses before coming to Ohio State. He was lucky to have the Chip relationship and capitalize on it at the right time. He was also lucky Urban was feeling heat from Zach Smith and waltzed into the Ohio State job instead of having to go to a lower tier school.

    Coaching really matters a lot, but it’s obviously a lot easier with a team full of elite prospects. He’s probably still a few years away from it showing if he does indeed suck.

    Even from these you can tell it's OSU

    There has been a major shift in college offense and UW has completely failed to keep up with it. CP was the best and worst thing to happen to UW.
