Reportedly, he can throw it 85 yards, with accuracy.

I can throw the ball that far - just find me an elevator and an open window (deadly accurate too if there is no wind).

I would have figured that Hakes, Tebow, Schlitcher, or Hartline would have received an offer before Williams.
|
I understood that Schlichter and Hartline would get any offer after camp, but I agree it is interesting to see anyone get an offer ahead of them (unless they are all world). It is interesting to see dual threat QBs getting offers along with pocket QBs. That is one characteristic teams tend to commit to rather than float between. If you are a pocket team bring in half a dozen and go with the best of the lot. Troy Smith may have had a bigger influence on the thinking of JT than I gave him credit for.
From what I know of Tebow I have to believe any offer is simply waiting on an indication he would accept it. You throw letters in front of everyone in the elite 11 and you quickly lose credibility with anyone else you might otherwise have had a shot at.

Apparently we are Isiah's dream school... and from what I hear of him, he could be a great one here at Ohio State.

Hartline might get an offer, Schlichter probably not. Glenville's Arvell Nelson might also be in line for an offer, as might Adam Weber from Minnesota (had a great Nike camp, our film study team likes his game, and Adam has OSU in his top tier and will camp in Columbus). |

How many QB's do you see us offering? With two already out there, would the Bucks really send out that many more?

Ohio State has offered the following QB's: Isiah Williams (very possible), Demetrius Jones, also from Illinois (highly unlikely), and (apparently) Harry Betsey, from Florida (also unlikely); the Bucks have also shown serious interest in Tim Tebow, who is one of the top QB's in the nation, but they haven't offered him yet (of course, he would also be a long shot). The Bucks might offer another QB, if one really shines at camp; the most likely candidates are Weber, Nelson, and Hartline.

Oh, I didn't know about Betsey.
Anyways, I really like what I've seen of this Williams kid. He's cut, fast, strong, and has a cannon attached to his shoulder. Also, from what I understand of Jones, Tebow, and Hartline, all of these kids are extremely athletic QB's who can run. I love that in a college QB.
