  According to UniWatch, they will be wearing the white jerseys from the 2015 Sugar Bowl.
  
  

  Meh I like the newer striping better but I agree on white jerseys. Reminds me of the 97 Rose Bowl

  JT ties with Barkley for the Silver Football award. Thankfully, it didn't go to Peppers.
  
  Peppers finished third, Samuel 4th, and Austin Carr 5th

  Was shocked it didn't go to Peppers. Seems like he's winning everything this year because he has played 15 positions.

  4* LB Pete Werner from Indianapolis has committed to OSU. Werner was previously committed to Notre Dame, but had decommitted a couple weeks ago.

  ^^ Huge to hang on to Wade. If OSU gets Okudah and Holmes, this will be the best secondary class ever!
  
  Wade, Okudah, Holmes, and Williamson at CB. Riep will end up being a safety and Pryor is a safety too. White will most likely move to LB.
  
  May seem crowded, but with Lattimore, Conley, and Hooker likely headed to the NFL, and some potential transfers, they definitely needed to re-stock the secondary.

  I'd love for them to get Bubba Bolden from Bishop Gorman too. He's a 4* safety that absolutely lays the wood. he's down to usc and osu, rumor has it he's osu if they have room.
• ironman02

  I've been reading that Bolden is likely to go with USC. He was previously committed there, and with their resurgence in the second half of the season, he may be leaning back toward them again. He does have Martell, Lindsey, and Garrett in his ear at Gorman though, so we'll see.

  Torrance Gibson is transferring to a JUCO.
• wildcats20

  

  And apparently he's not transferring.

  That escalated quickly. lol
• wildcats20

  

  I guess a juco tweeted that he was coming there to play QB. But then he spoke directly to some people saying it was false

• Benny The Jet

  

  Sounds like he did indeed visit there..signed a LOI. However,signing a LOI at a JUCO doesn't mean he can't look elsewhere for a D1 team in the meantime. Sounds like what he's doing. Secured a place to play next year at JUCO level while still looking for somewhere to go at D1 level which he prefers.
  
  End game...he's done at OSU.
• vball10set

  These days until I see a guy on the field, with the school's uniform on, I don't believe any of the bs that is out there. Too many variables.
• wildcats20

  

  And apparently his gf has now tweeted saying he's not going to the juco, but didn't say he was staying at OSU. Who knows.

  All of this, and the guy has yet to step foot on the field for a game. Had a lot of hype when he signed a couple of years ago.
• ironman02

  I don't really understand why he wouldn't stay at OSU, assuming he's allowed to enroll again. Urban was pissed when the university suspended him, so I figured he'd be back. Still holding out hope they he doesn't leave because I think he's capable of big things.
• wildcats20

  

  And I had read that they were working on some things for him for January, when he would be eligible to return. No one knows at this point what is going on.
• sleeper

  

  Cut him. We will be okay without him and his drama.
• Sonofanump

  Why would he go JUCO? They would take him and problems in the SEC.

  He basically hasn't played at all in two years. He'd have to sit out a year if he transfers to a D1 school. I don't think he would at a JUCO, so I'd guess he wants a year there to shake off the rust and then go from there to a bigger school.
