OSU, IMO could indeed use another specialist for next season, but I'm not sure Basil fits the bill. Don't get me wrong, he's a fine kicker and a good punter, but every specialist Tressel has offered out of HS has also played another position as well (Nugent was a QB, Pettrey was a QB, Trepasso was a TB, Buchanan was a WR). It is true that other specialists under Tressel at
OSU have not played other positions, but none of them were offered scholarships out of HS by Tressel, and instead earned their scholarships after walking on. Basil only kicks and punts, so he would be an exception to the rule if offered.
Ft. Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas has a good kicker who used to be a QB, so he could be a specialist to keep an eye on.
