The kids video is very impressive, and you a kid like this you tell him that you are recruiting him as a rb, but if he isnt playing up to par it is very easy to move him to the other side of the ball...Versatility is the key word...

Through the biggest Irish Eyes ever...Devoe talks about visiting ND for their Junior Day.

This article is a flat out joke...

Because it is slanted to show his impression of the school...his true impression of Coach Weis is left out.

That is why ND is not a threat at all.

If OSU misses on Devoe, it won't be to ND...

I'm guessing we won't have to worry about missing on Devoe, right?

Correct. Also, Davis and Wright are locks, and I'm sure we'll get Barksdale and Claytor. Recruiting is straightforward.

I know the article quotes him as saying so, but how serious is the claim that tOSU is recruiting him as a FB rather than a RB?

I think 40 is right in that approach, there's no reason that he can't be promised a chance to run the ball. Can't a FB/LB switch be made in spring/summer/camp if and when he's been beaten out at RB?

edit: (sorry 40 to basically repeat what you said verbatim)

[wadc45]

It's not that serious...OSU will make sure to show him the love.

I think we have the biggest advantage... his name is Devon.

not entirely true, he has always been in Devon's shadow. He may want to make his on mark at another school. This was eluded to by someone who would know.

didn't seem like he was in devon's shadow this past year, in the game stats that I remember, Devoe was the man 9 times out of 10....and the show should be all his as a senior.

Confirmed by multiple sources that Michigan will be offering today...and that may not be the last one he gets today.
