I really don't feel that tOSU is in a delicate situation at all. If anything, I would think that Hale and his coach are in a delicate situation. Imagine if they make our staff angry. Here we are ranked in the top 10 this year and we are trying to build a good relationship with Gateway. The moment we offered one schollie to any of their players, it would have been in the coaches best interest to advise the player to accept for the future good of the whole. Instead, we are getting the shaft and made to look stupid and before long we aren't going to be going to Gateway to actively recruit. We may still offer token offers but as far as hard core recruiting we will know that it has been and will be a waste of time. JMO!
