OSU had to stop recruiting Parsons due to recruiting violation

Timing. They reported everything prior to October, but nothing comes out about this until the day before the kid is set to sign his LOI?
I saw on ESPN article that OSU suspended the recruiting guy for 1 game and banned any OSU athlete or staffer from going near the gameday set. I guess they can't suspend Herbie, but I wonder if this caused a rift? Might explain why Herbie was so desperately trying to get OSU in the CFP. Look what I did boss.
What in the heck do those tweets mean? Is he saying he wants to sign with da osu anyway?
Should we call these tweets "Dumb and Dumber"?? They supposedly cover college football for a living. Shouldn't they at least have a vague conception of the recruiting rules??
I took them to mean that they were full of shit and that he was not going to sign with them anyway...
This is awesome, PSU fans were calling him a bad kid when they weren't leading for him, now he's magically considered a victim for his prior issues. You guys are hilarious. Reminds me of Bosa, PSU offers, once he turns you down he's one of the worst human beings on the planet, there's absolutely zero doubt if he had picked PSU it'd be the exact opposite. The cognitive dissonance here is off the charts.

Parson's father even admitted that OSU stopped recruiting him months ago after his son was critical of JT Barrett on twitter, but I'm sure he's also part of some vast conspiracy by the Buckeye's in search of "damage control."

“After the visit, you know, the next day everything seemed strange because our itinerary said we’re supposed to meet with Urban Meyer at the end of our visit. But that never happened. So when that didn’t happen, I was like, I told his mom, I said, ‘Yeah, I don’t think they want our son no more.’”
Btw, did Urby ever hunt down that camera man who "injured" Barrett a few wks ago? I understood it was going to be a full blown investigation.
"Personally I'd take Narducci over Franklin in a heartbeat, and I think the vast majority of college football fans would agree with me.

Real Story
OSU fan here. Here is the real story.
Meyer agrees with what many on here have said about his Florida program -- he recruited too many convict-types, and lost control of the program. He was and is determined not to make the same mistake at OSU, and has passed on recruiting some great players beause of their character.
As to Micah, he is a such an outstanding athlete that OSU was kicking the tires, but OSU was pretty sure he was a pass based on character. Subsequent visits to campus confirmed. (I have never heard specifics, but OSU media types are pretty clear that he is head case.)
So OSU self reported the violation, and banned itself from recruiting a player that it did not want. Micah named his dog "Buckeye," so that is a pretty good indication of where he wanted to go. Do you really think OSU would have banned itself from recruiting such a great athlete, over such a minor violation, if OSU wanted him? The ban on recruiting him is just OSU trying to make a showing that it takes compliance seriously.

Look at the picture on page 1. He has a nametag on. You can't see what it says, but I am sure it has his name on it. Plus anyone that connected with college football would at least know who a top 10 recruit is.
It's a violation because not every college gets the Gameday set on campus and ordinary students aren't paraded on the set to take pictures with the hosts. Obviously extra benefit.
I think they just saying that cuz they lost

Self-reported NCAA violations prevent Ohio State from recruiting 5-star prospect Micah Parsons

Five-star defensive end Micah Parsons was once a favorite to land at Ohio State — that was until Ohio State agreed to stop recruiting the class of 2018 prospect because of self-reported NCAA violations that occurred during his official visit on Sept. 9.
Ohio State self-reported the violations to the NCAA on Sept. 26. The violations, which The Lantern obtained through a public-records request, were the result of improper contact that happened during the recruit’s visit to the set of ESPN’s College GameDay at The Oval prior to the Buckeyes’ game against Oklahoma.
As a result of the infractions, Ohio State agreed to no longer recruit Parsons and declared him ineligible for an unknown amount of time.
Of course they did. Upset over losing out on Parsons, Oweh, Hawkins, Luketa, and most likely Walker. Great class, but poor finish, especially when they lose Jones and Woodbey.
Given the colossal mess the last week or so has been for Ohio State, hard to imagine that others haven't seen thru this episode.
Recruits do talk via social media. It's almost like someone put the stink out there....odd indeed. Every school has this happen and they still have an incredible class regardless....just odd that this late kids are bailing.
The crazy thing is, they lost all of these great recruits late in the game, but their class is still pretty damned outstanding.
leaked the news?? The pictures were all over twitter and the internet
no one had to leak a damn thing. its embarrasing at this point for OSU
It was on national TV. No one had to "leak" it. When I watched Game Day, I wondered how in the world that production could not be a recruiting violation.
Wasn't it first reported by The Lantern, THE Ohio State student newspaper? Clearly Franklin has them on his payroll.
"The violations, which The Lantern obtained through a public-records request, were the result of improper con...."
HERBIE! Committing recruiting violations when he's not storming off the set when OSU doesn't get in the football playoff or revealing Penn State plays that he saw them use in practice during a telecast.
We could ratf@ck osu every day for the next decade and we still wouldn't be even with them for all the cheating, stealing, and BS we've put up with from them.
Sometimes you just sit and wonder "how much more will ohio state steal from PSU?"
It will be a long time until we are even with those scoundrels. Even if we did leak this, I wouldn't shed a tear. Eat crap in hell osu.

The excuses continue....
There are rumors that Emory jones couldn't get his ACT scores up to be accepted to Ohio State, and there are rumors woodbey is on the same boat. That's why they been given the boot.

So neither of them flipped. Just couldn't get into the academic powerhouse that is Ohio State football. Got it. Better be sure you really want to go to OSU once you show interest because if you decide otherwise they will slander you however they see fit!
