Note on Ohio State 4-star DL commit Marcus Fakatou

Short and sweet. Texas still very much engaged in the flip attempt. Fakatou's circle is still talking to Texas staff.

Oh?

6'-7"? He is a big dude

Would be great to flip him and then get the LB and CB out of the portal. Day is holding on by a thread, another emberrassing loss to Michigan might get his seat really warm.

Thanks for the info, Gerry. I knew we wouldn't give up, but nice to have it confirmed. It should be a wild ride to the finish like all recruiting seasons under the SarkMeister.

Agree. And I think it would be even cooler if we somehow keep Biles and Cryer for one more year. I know that's asking a lot, though!

Would be awesome to get him to Texas, but call me a downer. Texas finished third in his recruitment, so wouldn't Georgia have the inside track on landing him, especially with the season they're having?

D'linemen will be lining up to play on this D'line.

Kenny Baker may be Sark's best hire.

Interesting...

I will be so impressed if they get that done. Seems he just always dreamed of being at OSU.

iirc, it had more to do with Larry Johnson the DL coach. And it sounds like a lot of staff changes are coming at Ohio st so maybe Johnson leaves.

im not so sure we really finished 3rd in this.

This would be 1M times better than them flipping Currie. Seems like those dudes want to play together and wreck havoc.. They see Hero Kanu/Lance Jackson and think "Yes Please"

Well, I didn't think so either, but Marcus Fakatou himself said in his "Day in the Life on Commitment Day" video that if it wasn't Ohio State, Georgia would have been his next choice.

Wonder if Pettijohn enters portal.

I dont think an order at a point in time 6+ months ago really means all too much. Georgia could've moved on, we could've upped the price. Him and Currie could get closer. So while it could mean something it doesn't necessarily mean that's the case. Look at Matthews

I may be wrong but I see him as the natural progression at DE from Lance Jackson when he moves on.

We shall see if it goes anywhere, but effort is ther

Let’s go

Thought we finished 3rd?

Regardless if he flips or not i love this staff attempts to hang around the rim

Would be a nice flip.
