I love the part where he said he was so impressed with the Alamo victory but what stood out the most was that the offense was only losing the tailbacks....
Great update...

it may be advantageous to osu if gwaltny does announce at the AA game instead of waiting. if he waits, and coaches get in home visits, petey may work some of his magic.
of course the flip side is deciding immediately after his wvu visit may be problematic.
either way, this update makes it appear osu at least has a chance. |

By announcing on Feb. 2 he could be saying 'in your face ESPN'.

I hope they like the Idea...We could end up like Minny with two 1,000 yard backs in one year....That would be exciting to watch...Thunder and Lightening sounds great to me.

I have been struck by how many so-called experts accept as gospel that Gwaltney is going to USCum. "Don't get your hopes up. He's a USCum lock!", simply because of the reports that he committed while out there.
I have no doubt at all that he 'committed' while he was out there, at the famous stand-up-for-USCum dinner. I also have no doubt that he committed to WVU too. Why believe one is valid when the other is obviously not?
The only 'commitment' that counts is the one he signs in February. If you look soley at what is best for Gwaltney's career -- collegiate and professional -- tOSU makes a ton of sense for him. TOSU wants a big back [even had one win the Heisman a few years ago]; Columbus is closer to home than USCum but not significantly further away than WVU; he'd get tons of media exposure in 'big games'; and he'd likely play right away.
No brainer, Jason. Rock the world and announce with Mo Wells at the Army AA game!

...because at the beginning of the season every 4* & 5* player in the country silently commits to the Trojans. USC coaches then pick the which ones they want.
Geez don't you read the USC boards?!

All of the pieces fell into place immediately after his visit...it was not a huge reach to assume he was a USC lock. However, as kids are oft to do, he had a change of heart...
As for the experts, they are still split...some say he is still locked while others say USC is all but eliminated
