DW narrowed his list from 60+ offers to 14 schools and tOSU is one of the 14 (and scUM isn't-just thought I would thow that in for fun  ).
Playing early is important to him and he is scheduled to graduate early. Still a long shot with Florida, Maryland and PSU?? possibly being front runners but at least we are still in the running.

If RS the QB, were to commit to OSU, I would think it would help us. |

He has said before that he wants to be in a wide-open passing offense, so he can get more opportunities to touch the ball. Not to stereotype, but this guy seems like a "me" type player, who's main goal is to get to the NFL as soon as possible and make as much money as possible.
I know he's a great talent, but it's unlikely he'll choose OSU just due to the offense and if he did, I almost guarentee he'd leave early and at some point complain about not getting the ball enough.
He seems like he'd be a waste of time to try and recruit. |

Not only that, but he earlier stated that he wants to play in a wide-open conference (doesn't sound like the big 10). I was a little surprised by some on his list.
I agree, unless this guy seriously considers us, the coaches time would be better spent recruiting other players, now if he puts us in his top 5, then we put the full court pressure on. |

I thought that as well. Apparently Nebraska tried to get Harrison Beck to call him, but williams told him to stop calling, and that a QB in his class was not important.
That being said, I doubt OSU is a serious player for this kid, but you never know. |

Methomps sarcasm aside
i don't see what the big deal is with his dad or any other adult for that matter, help him. Thank goodness he HAS a dad to consult with! What high schooler could handle the pressures and demands that these coaches and writers etc. put on you. It would be difficult for any D-1 prospect and in my opinion, has to be overwhelming for arguably, one of the top players in the country. Secondly, what's wrong if a kid knows what he wants out of their student athlete experience? The school is going to want a return on it's "investment". The kids out there owe it to themselves to make it at the very least, a mutually beneficial proposition. Good luck wherever he ultimately decides, and hopefully the Bucks make the cut!
