It's not till Feb 1, so I'll assume a time hasn't been set yet. If it has, it won't matter to us for a few weeks anyways.

![]() Here are 40+ photos of Gwaltney I tracked down when googling his name. Anyone have any info on this premium chat on rivals? |

Nida...
hasn't been able to get in touch with McCarthy or his coach all week. doesn't think Sanchez would rethink his USC committment unless there is a shakeup in the USC staff (i.e. PC). hasn't heard Cushing mention OSU in some time. has no idea who leads for Chris Wells. thinks we end the class with Gwaltney, Wilson, and McCarthy. thinks Ashley is headed to USC. thinks OSU will go hard after Kearney. |

I have long thought that Jason Gwaltney to USC was inevitable. But I can't shake a couple of the things that have been reported. First, the "insiders" come back from San Antonio saying OSU has a real shot. Then he visits the Rivals board and sets an announce date for this Wednesday. Then he moves the date back and Pete Carroll is coming in tonight (what was to be his announce date). Starting to sound like he was going to announce for OSU and Petey got him to delay it until they had a chance to talk it out. Maybe I'm seeing what I want to see but the messages are starting to add up. Also, there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for OSU not getting whatever assistant coaches they have left for an in-home as soon after the Petey visit as possible. He's proven over the past couple of years that you never want to give him the chance to have the last word. I'm still skeptical but believe we do indeed have a real shot.

This should be an easy decision...
...how quickly recruits can forget about programs past successes. Regardless of my affiliation w/ OSU, I don't see why Gwaltney would choose USC over OSU. Let's see, he has a legitimate shot at starting from day one. OSU will be playing 2 consensus top 10 teams at home in September, in which he will be able to show the entire country that he is a great back as a freshman(I would be shocked if we weren't getting serious #1 ranking consideration throughout the land if we get through the September portion of our 2005 schedule undefeated). And finally, as much as other programs will not want to admit it, at OSU, running back is king and being the starting running back at OSU gets you a ton of press if you are any good (probably more press then you deserve).
Having said all that, he probably will choose USC b/c he seems to favor them, but he has to be kidding himself if he thinks he will have the same opportunity to prove himself right out of the gate. I don't think he is shy of competition in any way, but to say he will start over White, Bush and Dennis would be quite a stretch(I'm talking to you Petey boy). |

Not a coach - but what greater symbol of RB excellence and tradition could JG seek to see in front of him. |

I agree the starting job won't be as difficult to reach here, but it won't be easy. At this point, I'd really like to see him in S&G. But regardless, he has to do what is best for him. I guess if playing closer to home, winning the national championship, and having the greatest fan base behind you aren't important, you can always go to USC.

Don't send Archie - send PETE JOHNSON! He can tell Jason about all those TDs he was scoring even while sharing carries with <S>Maurice Wells</S> Archie Griffin.

Jason's status has been updated on Rivals:
Now the #3 RB... upgraded to a 5* recruit.... the #29 player in the country Schools of interest: Boston College Medium Ohio State Medium Southern Cal Medium West Virginia Medium Michigan State Low UCF None |

I said a while ago that I thought it was inevitable for JG to become a 5* recruit.
