You don't see many big men run as well as Weston does. When I saw 6'6" and 312 I wasn't expecting him to be as active as he was on film. He's not a sloppy 312 by any means. Looks like Coach Hazell has his work cut out for him in New Jersey. We're in on some nice looking prospects over there.

Nice find, 86.

Rahmir Cottman has an updated top 6, per Rivals, and Ohio State is not listed.

Interesting article in RutgersFan.com (Rivals network) on Kade Weston. Here's a funny quote:

Quote:

John: Based on what you have heard from coaches, or what you have seen in mailings, what school sounds like the most fun place to go to school?

Kade: Miami because I heard that it nice down there, good looking girls, and the coach told me if I have to talk to a Spanish girl tell him and he will give me a few lines. USC because it is nice out there. The Staple Center is like 5 minutes away from the school. Hollywood is half hour away. You see a lot of famous people.

Kids these days!
