I hate to agree with IlliniBat from RP but Illinois has not offered that many more kids than
OSU at this point...obviously there are probably some unreported offers out there but Rivals lists 29 '09 kids with Illinois offers and 19 with
OSU offers (with a couple missing). Illinois just happens to have offered a couple of Ohio kids, more importantly central Ohio kids...and everyone is up in arms about it. I don't get it...
OSU has the luxury of being more thorough with its evaluations of Ohio kids because most are willing to wait for an
OSU offer. Ever year it's the same thing...people start making noise about offering Ohio kids. And the first time a kid mentions being a Buckeye fan we want to see an offer go out...without any concern about whether or not the kid is an
OSU-caliber player. The fact is only a select few are going to be an offer from
OSU. That's why
OSU offers are so valuable and so coveted. I'm not saying Will will not eventually get an offer from
OSU, but I can certainly understand why one has not materialized yet...

From the
OSU site...talks about the unofficial to
OSU and also about the unofficial to Illinois.
