I can't believe I'm siding with Brock.
You take Grimes. Period. End of discussion. Would be a fireable offense if Richt turns this kid down and he becomes an All American somewhere else.
The last piece regarding Grimes is mind numbingly dumb. Complete ineptitude on Richt's part if true.
You don't turn down elite talent at a skill position. Unbelievable.
Well as of now it’s more about them being comfortable with what they have at receiver and what they’re bringing in. But that last part is something that could play into the equation.

Think about that and reassess the situation..
Even stacking chips has to be calculated move. You're not calculating ***t.I get that you guys want to defend the staff, but Grimes is an elite talent period. What happened to “stacking chips”? That’s all that most of this board preaches about, but now we should turn down elite talent because they “missed their chance”? I’m sorry, but it’s total nonsense.
We stacking chips with Pope, Wiggins, and Hightower, mane. #pringles
Stack another one on that bih
And if you are thinking about 2019 receivers or whatever he’s better than ANYONE we are recruiting that year for receivers...
**There has been message board speculation recently that Ohio State freshman wide receiver Trevon Grimes was unhappy in Columbus and was looking for a potential change of scenery after this season — with Miami being at the top of his list if he made that decision. I was tipped off about this two weeks ago, but after doing some digging, I’m told that he is not somebody UM would be interested in unless something unforeseen changes with their current crop of receivers and recruiting class. In the last couple years, Miami has turned down local prospects like Tim Irvin who once spurned Miami for other programs, only to want to transfer back home a year or two later.
Grimes was a higher caliber prospect than that, but Miami’s message in these cases has been “this is what happens when you “miss your chance to play here”. It’s obviously too early in the stages to say that it won’t happen for sure, but at this point he isn’t in their plans.
he's in concussion protocol
but Miami’s message in these cases has been “this is what happens when you “miss your chance to play here”.
I ****in love that
I mean that’s fine and all but out of our big receivers langham, cager, Harris, njoku I only feel comfortable with langham probably if that.... cager played uninspired and didn’t look like he wanted to play in our biggest game of the year... the fvck?.... Harris has been suspended multiple times throughout his career here and you can’t count on him. Njoku is nursuring an injury... why not take grimes in that situation?

Iron does sharpen iron, but when iron meets glass, glass shatters into a thousand little pieces and is hard as fvck to clean up.
But here's what I know: Grimes was a top prospect coming out of STA. Ran fast at the Opening. Tall with good size. And by all accounts, a very polished route runner. Then he tore his ACL early in his senior season and has spent the last year rehabbing the knee. He waited until near the very end of the recruiting process to pick O$U, and he hasn't been on O$U's travel team this year. Now it looks like he would like to come back home because of some personal/family issues.
Meanwhile, we pulled in Njoku/Harley/Thomas at WR in that class. Now we have two consensus studs committed in Hightower and Pope, along with an underrated Wiggins at WR.
It sounds to me like Richt would rather dance with the girl(s) he showed up with. And I can't say I disagree. Not just because of loyalty or respect for the value of a UM offer (though those are both great reasons). But also because, to continue the metaphor, Grimes showed up to the dance late and with some serious baggage.
Maybe Grimes fully recovers and becomes a great D1 WR, but I have no problem with this pass.
