By BK...Elliot is a standout football and basketball player.

Man oh man... Ohio has OL prospects coming out of the woodwork for next year... Definitely shaping up to be a good class state-wide...

At 6'6" and 280, coupled with his obvious athleticism from being a good b-ball player, I wonder how he would project to a DT with added weight...ala a Josh Brent?

With the OL talent we are in on for next year, kids like Elliot may need to show some DL versatility in order for a real shot at an OSU offer...Not saying that is definitely the case for Elliot, just more of a generalization.

I think next years camp is going to be VERY interesting. What a strong year for OL/DL in Ohio next year.

Definitely, but the only thing I'm worried about is ND and Michigan signing more than just 1 or 2 of these recruits. For OL we all know we are in on the Big 4. If we sign them 4 then that opens the door for many other schools to grab guys like Stevens, Sanders, Rowell, Whitner, Mealer, and some others.

Mealer looks like he could play DT though with his size so he could still likely get an offer.

Elliot enjoyed his visit to tOSU and holds offers from Purdue, Northwestern, Cincinnati, Duke, Miami of Ohio, Eastern Michigan, and Bowling Green. Coach Doc Tressel told Mealer the staff is waiting to hear from some OOS OL before giving out more offers and he will need a solid camp performance.

Great for Elliot...I really like the frame on this kid. Reminds me a bit of Jake Ballard, although I think Elliot will likely end up at tackle.

[ol104]

Great opportunities for Mealer. Man do the sharks really start swarming around Ohio when they know OSU has a small amount of schollies to give out...The list of kids who have big time offers and not an OSU offer is mind boggling and just shows how the staff feels about some of the OOS kids they are in on...

Kirk Barton mold all the way...

It is just too bad that we arent going to have room for a guy like this...

This is 2 in-state lineman that Michigan has sent offers to that we havent...
