Peade > Adams = Woods > Fairchild

Everyone has an opinion and I respect yours. It is like food, everyone has a different taste and fortunately there are plenty of schools that like all four boys and they will all get their opportunities.

Woods and Fairchild were at the same combine in January. You are right Woods was faster, he ran a 4.35 and Fairchild ran 4.36.

In your humble opinion...right? I think that is an important addage which should be posted as a signature on most posters on this board.

Only a few of us on this board are experts. I played the game in HS and college and wouldn't consider myself an expert in evaluating talent.

It takes a special eye to see and thank God that Tressel has that eye. Now back to DJ Woods...

Oh for chrissakes, who directed wolverinetrapper to this board?

Well it just sucks that we don't have numbers like we will next year...

There would be a good chance that we would be offereing all of Pead, Woods, Adams, and Fairchild...

There's always an upside... In this situation, it's that we'll have a lot of veteran players in place for another title run next year...

I think we need some speed in this class, and if DJ is who the staff wants, then it's alright with me...

I agree... when is it appropriate to start discussion grey shirts? Sucks to give away great home-grown speed.

Only one non-kicker "grey shirt" since Tressel's been coach (Boeckman). Cedric Scott (younger brother of Darrion Scott) and Freddie Lenix were given the opportunity, but grades kept both of them out.

It's pretty tough to convince a kid to grey shirt when he's got other D-I opportunities; and if the kid doesn't have other D-I opportunities, then why would Ohio State offer him a scholarship in any year? Plus, the kid has to pay his own way for a while. Not many prospects will fall into the "grey shirt" area.

Too bad my alma mater, Brunswick OWNS them....sorry couldnt resist

Woods looks like a great athlete and i would love to have another Pioneer Conference brethren on the Bucks

[CleveBucks]

Brunstucky? They wouldn't make the playoffs as much as they do if they were in the big-boy region. And their OOC schedule is always horrible. But I digress...

[cbus2005]

I'm pretty sure if you look at the last 10 years, Brunswick's record vs. Strongsville would look similar to the cooper era vs. Michigan.

Coach Johnson told D.J. the staff wants to see him again at camp.

Unless Cooper went 7-4 against UM, you are mistaken. Brunswick is 7-4 against Strongsville in the last 10 years. With the last 2 meetings being won by a combined score of BHS 77 - SHS 31...My original comment about "owning" Strongsville was TIC. Strongsville generally has better talent than Brunswick, case in point high level recruits like Woods and Josh Kerr, to name a few. But BHS is generally more disciplined, better coached, and play harder, much like OSU in comparison to UM...end of the high school rivalry [censored]ing contest and getting back on DJ Woods!

DJ would look great in S&G, and like i said before, i would love to have another Pioneer Conference (J Kerr) on the Bucks. If DJ has a camp performance like he did at the combine, you are probably looking at our next CB commit.

DJ Woods scorched the Pittsburgh field yesterday.

6.75 L Cone, 3.94 shuttle. DNR forty.
