We're not losers to USC. We have a history second to none. Don't fall into the USC hype. Ohio State is the best university on the planet. We take a back seat to no other university.

We may have peaked Jarrett's interest late in the game, but we were in on him just as long as USC was |

Thank you wstripes. I appreciate how you look at this. It is not that people on either side are lying. It is simply that each staff probably feels like they have Gwaltney close to tied up. Gwaltney may be absolutely sure and he's not telling one staff. He also might be having some doubts or is still somewhat unsure.
It should never be a "see, I was right" kind of thing. This is a tough decision for a recruit to make and its even tougher for contacts to keep current on what the athlete is feeling. |

Didnt someone say gwaltney became really good friends w/ brian cushing, who appears to be sc bound. Plus, gwaltney said he was doing a little recruiting down in san antonio- the only undecided kids who could potentially be recruited were for sc. basically we didnt have any undecided kids we still had a shot at after the game.

He said that he was pushing for Cushing and McKinney to tOSU so that *could* explain some of those comments.

I don't know how much Cushing wants to look at us again, but IMO if he and McKinney wanted to come to tOSU that would ease losing McCoy and Ashley...

I like Wstripes last comment. It bodes well for us meaning he is not as confident as he once was, but I really hope the JG becomes a BUCK.

When I stated what I said about Cushing and McKinney it was more hypothetical than anything...

Gwaltney is NOT coming to OSU, and the endless speculation and false hope being propagated here is only setting you all up for major disappointment. All signs point to USC. And please don't mention the "chat" on BSB or whichever site that was...that person (even if it was actually JG) was playing with everyone in that chat room...take what was said with a grain of salt, nothing more.
I would love to be proven wrong on this, but I just don't see it happening. |

Man, how screwed up is it when a USC fan has to reassure the Buckeye faithful. If I hear one more person say "JG is NOT coming to TOSU, USC always beats us, we can never win" I am going to PUKE. 
If you are so negative why do you even bother? |
