From Bucknuts...Joey is getting mail from all the Big 10 schools. He wants to verbal very early.

I saw him play a few times last year and will see him again next year as I grew up in UA and still live nearby. The games I saw he was used primarily as a rush end/linebacker but I think he has the frame to end up as a DT in college. He could even end up as a David Patterson-type player...able to play both inside and on the edge. That seems to be the kind of DL recruit that this staff favors.

D'Andrea is the guy who came to mind when somebody in the Ogelsby thread, said we would be getting a DT committ from an 07 kid on signing day....

[wadc45]

good thought but D'Andrea is not the kid that the poster was referring to...that's all I can say for now.

He is a relentless, nasty piece of work that refuses to stay blocked.

Does anyone know if he is a Buckeye lean at the moment, or can we only speculate?

I thought they were thinking that Oglesby was coing to be committing soon after NLOI day. If it's not him, then I'm thinking it's going to be B Martin?

Ding, ding, ding!!!

Upper Arlington is very close to tOSU. Almost all these kids are buckeyes, and I would think the same. I remember Fraser's comments about wanting to play in his own backyard or something that extent.

And it is not B Martin.

wrong and wrong...although I really can't say anymore at this point anyways without compromising the situation.

and yes, I believe D'Andrea is a Buckeye lean if anything...

I don't want to get too far off track of D'Andrea, but my guess would be Cameron Wade.

let's keep this thread on D'Andrea...none of you are even remotely close so let's just all wait and see what happens around Signing Day as far as the '07 recruits are concerned...it's not that far away!
