I felt really good about Davis until Grad mentioned Rutgers. With Coker on the hot seat at Miami and USC a world away I thought we had a great shot. In addition to Zutha I recall with in the last year or two a 5 Star DL spurned Miami to stay close to home at Rutgers.

Not in the 7 years I've been here... and I know fellas that went to high school with Charlie... If anything, that would play much better in northern Jersey where the major Catholic powers like Bergen Catholic and Don Bosco are located...
If I had to guess... I'd be surprised if we weren't very close to the lead... Even Anthony would have to be intrigued walking on Rutgers campus and seeing OSU apparel... My daughter wears OSU gear...

How will USC play in his recruitment? Is that talk about USC just lip service because they're the hot team right now, or is he genuinely interested in possibly moving 2,000 miles away (ala Jerrett) to sunny Cali?

Apparently USC hasn't been recruiting him very hard and there is also some talk that his grades aren't where they need to be.

How does that affect our recruitment? Are USC's standards higher than ours?

Simply put, the staff might not want to take a risk on a borderline academic recruit, especially with the crop of Oline players Ohio State is in on next year. |

USC is a private school... admission criteria is totally FLEXABLE... albeit still under NCAA Clearing criteria

Apparently USC is set for the OL in last years class, this one, and looking good in '08. In turn, fans are saying since Davis is borderline on academics, that there is no reason to apply full court press on him being on the other coast.
