West Virginia RB Jason Gwaltney (official thread)

[crazybuckfan40]

Some kids want to go to a school where they can be the star and help make a school into one of the schools you are talking about. Just think Miami didnt use to be any good. I am sure they had to start somewhere. Just like Justin King going to PSU he wants to help them return to glory.

Mendenhall is from Illinois and Stewart is from Washington.

That's my point. If Gwaltney was from WVU, then fine. I guess I'm just being an OSU snob.

king had a tie-in to psu. im sure miami's location and the fact that florida is a football factory had more to do with their uprise than anything else. if gwaltny had some personal tie to wvu aside from them offering him first, then i could see the connection you are trying to make.

he may well go to wvu because they offered him first and went after him hard from day 1. I respect that, but I also think if he looks at the big picture, he will see a better opportunity at osu.

Isn't Gwaltney's brother committed to WVU also?


EDIT: Yes, Gwaltney's half-brother Scooter Berry is also committed to WVU.

[ysubuck]

That helps me out a little. If he wants to play with his brother then that I can understand. Who's his brother?

I'm sure that's on here somewhere and I just forgot about it or I missed it. I don't read, I skim, and it gets me into trouble sometimes.

Oh well, I guess we'll see what happens.

EDIT Thanks Lloyd. That's all I was looking for was a good reason. It's still not good enough for me though

Yeah go ahead and give Lylod all the credit. Here is my post from a page back.

LoL J/k

D_wayne @ BN prem just said he will not be going to WV. He did not say where he was going, but in an interview he said TOSU was the school most likely to change his mind. Great news.

[LloydSev]

Yeah I know you did, did you mention his name though??

No. Its ok you can have some credit but I want some too.

[Holy Buckeye!]

Be A buckeye!!! Be be a Buckeye!!!!!


Think Mo Wells and Jason G.= Bo Jackson and Lionel James

Dreaming, not so fast my friend it's going to happen.

[daddyphatsacs]

My lord, if we land Wells and Gwaltney this team will be absolutely loaded at TB for the next 5 years. This would be the best RB class in a decade, at the very least.

I thought Gwaltney already had a verbal with West Virginia?

[brutus2002]

Until he signs a NLOI he can still be a Buckeye. Hes too talented to give up on.

Verbals are non-binding. A signed LOI is binding.

From what I've read on the BSB he had a "great time". Looks like we have a good shot at getting him to tOSU.
