Ashley had an inhomes with Petey and 3 or 4 assistants on Monday and with Coach D. Tressel and Coach Heacock on Wed. Petey sold him lack of depth at DT and the chance at early PT next year. The Coaches for tOSU have been very professional throughout the whole process. Coach Paterno will be in on Friday. USC leads slightly in a 3 team race between tOSU, USC, and Minny.

If he is convinced that he can get early playing time at USC, he is all but gone. We cannot give him that, our DT depth is probably tops in the country.
I thought we had a good chance with him wanting to play DE and us at least offering that. I also thought he was heavily interested in playing the Big10.
Good luck to you Walker. |

Housteau thinks it will be a coin flip on signing day. Says staff is comfortable at this point and likes our chances of landing him.
I say its 50/50 right now.

JoePa is due in for a visit today. He spoke with Pete Carroll and asked him about the rumors of being moved to the OL. PC said he had no idea where those rumors came from but it was not in the plans. However, Walker still had some doubts about the truth behind that rumor. When asked about a decision, Walker replied,
Quote:
<table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td class="alt2" style="border: 1px inset ;"> Ashley told BWI last night "I love Penn State, but if I had to make a decision today I would choose Ohio State."
</td> </tr> </tbody></table>
He will visit Minnesota unofficially this weekend to see some friends.

Wow. Everybody grab something to hold on to. Let's hope when the roller coaster is over the Buckeyes end up on top. First OSU on top thread for Ashley that I've seen in a month or so. |

The visit to Ohio State "was better" than the one to Penn State, he said, and the Buckeyes told him he could play early on defense.

I have to admit that I am pleasantly surprised by that statement. This seems to be a case of a kid who is genuinely unsure of where he wants to spend the next 3-5 years.
