One last question: do you folks believe that Berry is an everydown Big 10 Buckeye-caliber back, or is he a situational guy? A. Pittman wasn't this biggest guy, and TOSU trusted him with the rock...I personally think Berry can handle it too.
I appreciate everybody's opinions, thanks.

To be sure,
Richard Hall was a promising recruit out of Cincinnati Wyoming that committed to the '99 class. But alas, he did not qualify academically. (
OSU Verbal Commitments). Perhaps you meant
Jordan Hall from Jeanette, PA.
To answer your questions, however, (and I'm no expert, just a board searcher) I think
OSU keeps after Berry even if they land Hall, though scholarships are going fast. Hall could play on either side of the ball, but I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that we would take 3 backs in this class since we didn't snag one last year. Berry is definitely capable of carrying the load by himself, in my opinion. He's the back I would like to see in this class more than any other. In the end, it seems doubtful that we get both Hyde and Berry, but man that would be great.
Again, this class is filling in record time. It almost feels like the classes Texas puts together, where the scholarships are gone by the time the season begins. Hopefully the kids that are at the top of our board keep an eye on the dwindling number of 'ships and jump on board sooner rather than later.
