You think if Saddler tried to verbal to Virginia and Hale chose Pitt that Virginia wouldn't have taken him? Saddler had an impressive offer list because he is an electrifying player...both recruiting services had him as a 4-star (likely what will Brown will be too) and he had offers from the likes of Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Michigan, Virginia, Michigan State, Louisville, Purdue, Wisconsin, Oregon, etc. The kid probably had 30 offers to choose from. Sometimes we think OSU is some sort of rarified territory where they are the only staff that can afford to say "We offering you but not your friend." Plenty of schools evaluated Saddler and decided he was worthy of an offer. OSU already had their RB for last year and even after that had kids they rated higher than Saddler. He obviously did not fit the mold of what they were looking for. Whether or not Brown will is yet to be determined, but like Saddler he will evaluated on his own merit...regardless of what his situation is with Dorian Bell.
Sorry for the tangent...felt the need to respond to that... |
I have nothing against Cam. He is great player and I guess the "barely a look" was a little exagerated but from what I had read I got the feeling that
OSU felt Cam was too short and we didn't need a guy like Cam in that class with having a good chance with a taller "electrifying" player in Flash.
I was just showing the difference in the situation as to Cam who it didn't seem we had much interest vs Brown who looks to have much more interest from
OSU. Either way I hope we give Corey an offer as I feel he deserves one and that he later makes a decision that is right for him
