So, realistically, at what age do kids start showing up on the radar at schools like tOSU? It seems like the recruiting process is beginning to resemble what we see in Basketball? but out of curiosity, when do they start to look at kids.

If it seems like I am asking for a reason, I am? and it?s going to sound absolutely ridiculous that I mention it. But I?m aware of a young man (very young) who is huge for his age and has been playing organized football with kids that are 4-5 years older than he is for a couple of years now. He really is too big and strong to be on the field with kids his own age. And even when he?s on the field with kids who are 4-5 years older than he is, he takes them to task. If his parents are any indication of what his frame is going to look like when he?s ready to matriculate a couple of levels from now, he?s going to make one HECK of a lineman for someone.

Being in the Chicagoland area, I?d hate to see the Zooker get his hands on him without at least asking.

Yeah, I know? it?s a stooooooopid question if I was asking purely based on this particular kid. But it was this kid who made me think about when the staff starts seriously paying attention to ?you should see this kid? kind of talk.

Thanks for indulging my curiosity.
