Could it be OSU and we get both? With the staff asking Pettrey to wait until '06, it looks like they may be getting some additional commits that we weren't looking at before.
Just some food for thought...

There were posts in this thread that got split off into the WStripes and Mass JG Specualtion thread in the Open Discussion forum which showed that USC took six RBs (2 in 2002 and 4 in 2003) before last year.

Two of them have moved to fullback, one tore up his knee, and another wasn't on the team last year because of academics.
Edit: changed "the other" to "another" |

Bottom line is USC has a minimum of four RBs (five if Washington returns), and since two were "moved" to fullback and we've seen that a FB can move back to TB and be effective (Brandon Joe), USC has plenty of RB depth. And as wstripes said in the split off thread, USC does not want to start a true freshman at RB. Add to that my aforementioned fact that USC has a top-3 Heisman candidate in the backfield, in addition to a proven power back, Gwaltney has no chance of starting, and very little chance of even seeing the field as a true freshman.

My feeling after reading that article is that this is a polite kid who is tired of the recruiting process.
-- 46% to USC?
-- tOSU's "laid-back" staff..but not too laid back
-- WVU will best prepare him for the NFL?
These are not in-depth, thought out answers...these are "whatever pops in my head so I can get off the phone" answers.
IMO, don't take too much from that article.

the cushing comments he made were telling.
however, there are some miami folks that think cushing is a silent to them and their big recruiting coup this season.
either way, if i had to toss a US Grant on it, I would definately put it on usc without thinking twice.

I know this is completely random, but I had a dream last night where it was finally announcement day. Jason got up on stage, said that he was going to "shock the world" with his announcement. He proceded to pick TCU, even though he didn't even have an offer from them. He then called TCU's coach and asked him if he could have a football scholarship. The coach said that he'd never heard of him, but then said "sure, what the heck. No one else wants to come here."
I think once Wednesday comes and goes, I need to take a break from these boards for a while......
