Biography:
One of the elite players of New Jersey and one of the best in the Northeast for the 2005 class, Cushing has size and speed. Recorded 120 tackles 9.5 sacks and 7 interceptions in a rover position on defense, plus 13 receptions for 456 yards and 7 touchdowns on offense.

top schools right now are Stanford, BC, Miami, tOSU, USC and VA Tech
Originally he wanted to go to scUM but they apparantly have turned him off because they offered another NJ LB instead of him.
He will visit tOSU this summer.

scUM has now offered 3 LB's before Cushing. Reynolds (no brainer), Logan (reach IMO that was offered to solidify McKinney's commitment), and this kid from NJ now. Looks like LLLoyd blew it. That's a shame.

the latest Rivals update also makes it seem that tOSU has a real shot at Cushing- he will camp at tOSU and BC this summer
he also is interested in making an early decision
this is the kid that LLoyd blew off Cushing for (offering him instead of Brian)

Cushing is up to 19 offers- he lists his current top 5 as FSU, Stanford, BC, Ohio State and USC. Pretty impressive for tOSU to make his top 5 since we haven't offered yet. Maybe an offer comes when he visits tOSU camp this summer??

the latest Insiders update reports that Cushing is up to 26 offers and was just offered by FSU and Cryami
He still states he will camp at BC and tOSU this summer- you have to assume he is a good candidate for an offer when he attends camp- tOSU has apparantly visited his school recently

In a Rivals update Cushing lists a top 8 and Ohio State is not in it. That may change with an offer but you wonder if it will be too late if and when that offer comes?

It also does not appear he is camping at tOSU this summer. The article only mentioned BC- he was originally camping at BC and tOSU
maybe he didn't feel like he needed to prove himself to tOSU (considering 28 other schools didn't need that reaffirmation before they offered)???
