I don't know about you all and I certainly believe that people are entitled to their own opinion but it really pisses me off when Columbus kids list Michigan as their favorite.

This kid is running against Haw in track this month...I hope Haw smokes him!

Quote:

One of the fastest players in Columbus is Marion-Franklin WR/DB Keith Massey. He is getting interest from plenty of schools.

Thursday, we talked about Alex Daniels, a recruit from Columbus (OH) Marion-Franklin who is getting looks from big-time programs. Another one from the same school is WR/CB Keith Massey.

Massey stands in at 6-1, 190 and is known for his speed. He can play on either side of the ball.

"This summer, I ran a 4.3 in tennis shoes," he said. "I played receiver and corner but I prefer receiver."

Massey may give Ohio State recruit Erik Haw a run for his money (and then some) when it comes to who the fastest athlete in Columbus is. The two run against one another on March 30th.

"We played this year and I caught him from behind," Massey said.

Massey talked about what schools were recruiting him, and it sounds like things were picking up literally as we spoke.

"Minnesota and Purdue," he said. "I got a handwritten letter from Notre Dame."

During the conversation, Massey was opening his mail and discovered another letter from ND.

"Oh, Notre Dame sent me another hand-written letter today," he said. "Notre Dame wants me to come over on April 3rd, but I can't. I'm taking the test again."

What schools right now stand among his favorites?

"Michigan has always been a favorite," he said. "Florida, Florida State and Oregon.

"I'll opt for Michigan over everybody. They always have good quarterbacks and always throw the ball."

When it comes to what factors will be instrumental in making his decision, he said he really doesn't know and it may come down to a "gut feeling," but he is sure that he wants it to end quickly.

"I want to get it over with," he said. "I don't want to go through all of this. I watched Erik go through it last year."

Not too worried. I doubt they'll offer him either. It's a deep year for WR and DB in Ohio, they can do much better than him and so can we.

Kind of reminds me of Marcus Ray; although Ray was a HS All American. Ray did everything he could do to trash OSU and elevate Michigan. If he only made honorable mention All District the kid should be careful when he is talking about FSU, Florida and others. He might be lucky to sniff the MAC unless he makes All State and turns some heads.

I didn't see anything in his comments that was trashing Ohio State a la Marcus Ray. Sounds like the only reason he likes Michigan is because of its QB heritage, and as a WR I can understand that. However, evidently the kid hasn;t been paying attention to his hometowncollege team, which will end up having one of the highest-drafted WRs in this draft. Jenkins, Carter (until his injury), and Holmes all saw the ball a lot (unfortunately, many times they saw the ball sailing away from them).

I agree with what you are saying it just breaks my heart to see a Columbus kid reflect these sentiments. At any rate, I am guessing that Orton, Hartline, Robiskie, J Sharps and others are better receivers than him.

Kurelic was just on 1460 and mentioned that Massey beat Haw - WOW!!

He's 25 pounds lighter, what do you expect?

First post, I was also listening to BK on the radio. He said Massey ran a 10.3 against Haw in the 100. That's flat out flying, considering Ginn's best time in the 100 is 10.7. BK went on to say that a bunch of schools took notice and I'm sure OSU was one of them. Once we start showing some "love" he may reconsider his favorite.
