very nice............it seems coach Tressel wants to fill the RB stable early  If he commits to OSU we will have 2 of the top 15 backs in the country. |

Rivals $
Aldridge holds offers from Ohio State, Okie State, Duke, Purdue, Iowa State, Kansas State, Iowa and Missouri. He will visit OK.St. for a spring practice, and will probably stop and see N. Dame. He will decide this summer as he will graduate early.

Says Nick Patterson, former teamate, is recruiting him hard core to tOSU.
He is aware of the commitment of Chris Wells, but says you will see competition everywhere.
He was here for Junior day and loved Ohio Stadium.
Really positive sounding article for Ohio State.

It would be great to have our RB recruiting wrapped up before April...would let us focus on our other needs in this class such as more OL and LB's

Aldridge has good size at 6-1, 215. He definelty has some skills at the position and it would be nice to add him to go along with Chris Wells. I think we have a pretty good shot with Aldridge.

This one looks very do-able.
1. He has a good friend and mentor in Nick Patterson, who loves life at tOSU and is urging him to join the team. 2. We've been in on him since he was a Freshman on Nick's old team. 3. His other favorite is Okie State, who we absolutely crushed on national TV not three months ago. 4. He's seen and loves the Horseshoe. 5. He wants to commit early so he can enroll and play early, which gives competing programs less time to turn his head. And 6. (the clincher) -- Columbus is near home. That's nearly always a huge difference-maker for kids and their families.
Come on, James. Join the fun. Get a great education and play on a very special football team.

It is just not right for a post to be that positive or make that much sense....Oh wait this BP. |

no...both are being recruited at RB, and that's where they will start out. If anyone is better suited to be the 3rd LB in this class, it's Aldridge. | |
