You know...I was thinking about the who pulling Collins' scholarship cause we already have our 2 backs , as a sign that maybe they think they already have Chris Wells for next year, and are just hoping that 3 rb's will get us through the year.

the thing that irritates me is the one back in his class comment.
usc has a commitment from michael coleman, who was a rushing qb in high school (1200 yards passing and 700 rushing as a senior). He is being recruited as a qb/rb/s.
he isnt going to play qb at usc. usc has 6 safety commits since 2002, not counting will harris this year. where will he likely end up...rb?
of course that will not be determined until after gwaltny is signed sealed and delivered

good point tsteele...
the staff must feel confident with Haw, Pittman, and Wells as its pair and a spare. Russell and Lenix could provide some emergency depth there as well. Plus Ginn is dangerous no matter where you line him up, including FB/RB.
I just cannot see Chris Wells being strictly an OSU/UM battle from start to finish without some other school jumping in the mix (Miami, USC, Tennecheat, PSU). Rarely does a commit go wire to wire with only two teams in the mix.
Even early commits who don't take there visits are rare. Worthington has been committed to us forever but still is taking his visits. Guys like Boone and Manningham are getting rarer these days...staying committed to one school and not taking any other visits. |

Looks USC bound. He's been yapping a lot about wanting to make an instant impact as a freshman, but now is content with getting PT as a sophomore. Seems to line up with what Bush and White told him earlier, about sitting behind them and then taking over in 2006. If you were at all confident as a Buckeye or Mountaineer fan, that chat should bring u back to reality.

We've got more than three backs, sport.
Anderson Russell (same size, speed and running style as Conredge Collins), Erik Haw (big back at 6' 1" 215, or speed back with a 4.2 forty?), Antonio Pittman (with a year under his belt and a much improved O-line), Dionte Johnson (Pepper's little Pile-driver) and Maurice Wells (Mo' Money in the bank, as in Wells Fargo). That doesn't include that Ginn kid. I hear he can run pretty well too, out of the shot-Ginn.

The only thing that looks real positive to me is "will there be problems when I get there?" I've caught McCoy doing that a couple times (I will learn from AJ Hawk, etc), and I like to see that, but when you balance that one comment with all the others.. well, it don't look good.
It looks like USC. I'm not going to say that for sure, as stranger things have happened, but I think we'll see him announce for USC on Saturday. Damn.

anderson russell has said repeatedly that osu is recruiting him as a safety. |
