If so, there could be a couple surprises in the next couple days. |

I think given the fact that there are still options on the board for tOSU (Grant, McDaniel, Peters) that will play out by signing day, the staff may be taking a wait & see approach. IMO, if we still have a spot that the staff feels they would like to fill with an incoming freshman (we have kickers & walkons that Tress may want to ship) after tomorrow, there is still a chance for Derrell. I am pulling for him, wherever he ends up, as he sounds like he has work hard at turning his life around at a young age - certainly the path less travelled.

I agree. If you look at the ships available, and the number of kids that we are on (publicly), there is gonna be some "where the heck did that one come from" threads.
I am saying two additional names that aren't Grant. |

Pretorius is already on a full scholarship and has been since September 2005. |

I would like to see this kid get a 'ship as well. He is a talented kid no doubt!

Not to beat a near dead horse but..
I'm curious, last recruiting year did we have any guys send in thier LOI after signing day? I'm thinking no?
But Tressel on the press conference said they arn't opposed to offering a WR later during this signing period.

Are you sure? Our scholarship chart didn't show him with one. We only had Huston and Trapasso as kickers with schollies.

Pretorius was said to be on scholarship by JT during the press conference. Said that they didn't do much kicker looking because they already have him on scholarship for 3 more years and Petrey for 4 years. My ears arn't great, but i'm fairly certain thats what he said. At the very least they are both on 'ships next year for sure.
