'08 PA LB Shayne Hale (Pitt signee)

Just to clarify, that update is by a national reporter, Mike Farrell, not anyone from BuckeyeGrove...

Now all we need hear is this ...

Kurelic that says OSU is cooling on Hale.....

I'm nowhere near the ledge, but one has to imagine that - for the class of 2008 - WVU is turning into the major competitor. With Hale, Jenkins and Pryor all considering WVU (and presumably in contact with each other), they could all just as easily collectively decide to go that direction.

Do I think that's how it will work out? No. But this is recruiting and there are still months to go...

According to this Cameron Saddler interview, they will unofficially visit Virginia this weekend.

Not sure how to be on the ledge if tOSU is the one cooling on Hale. (If, in fact, that is the case.)

I didn't mean just about Hale - I just wanted to point out that the recruits (Pryor, Hale and Jenkins) could just as easily be discussing WVU as tOSU. Sometimes its necessary to point out that you're not panicking on the recruiting threads.

If in fact Saddler and Hale were both in Charlottesville this past Saturday......they picked a great weekend for their trip

[Buckeye Nut]

Hope they didn't see that Wyoming game.

[wadc45]

I know Saddler definitely did not make it to UVA this weekend...as such, I doubt Hale made it either, although I don't know that for sure.

By Farrell...talks about how glad he was he visited WVU this weekend. Says Michigan, Ohio State, West Virginia and Virginia are even.

From the UVA site...more of the same although does seem to favor WVU slightly over the other three schools he is looking at. Says he may not officially visit OSU because he has not heard much from them lately.

This ship is officially starting to sail, and it is being replace by another ship called Etienne Sabino, which I am 100% okay with...not a knock on Shayne, just a reflection of how good of a get I think Sabino could be.

More proof that OSU appears to have cooled on Hale.

Ohio State has picked up two linebackers for the 2009 class already. I don't see taking another linebacker in 2008 as being very important.

[unionfutura]

he doesn't want to play DE, which is where he'll end up. Here comes the false promises from other teams......
