How legit are those numbers?

[BGriffBuckeye]

probably not very

[wadc45]

They aren't verified...but the fact is the kid is starting to garner some serious attention makes me believe that they might not be too far off (standard recruiting website inflation). The fact that PSU has offered tells me this kid is for real.

He wants to decide in late August/early Sept... OSU better get goin if they want to have a shot.. Rutgers and PSU seem to be well ahead of the pack

I love the the fact we are recruiting a kid that looks like Jay-Z and most likely sounds like Lennox Lewis

Haha. I think with DiLillo's commitment that Crawfords chances go down. I had been hearing about him on the offensive side of the ball for the Buckeyes.

Still think he'll get looked at as a DE. If Gholston bails to the NFL, we'll have only five scholarship DEs and that's counting 2008 commit Williams...plenty of room for another DE commit in this class, especially a 6'6", 250-pounder with 4.55 speed.

From the PSU site...intro to Jack, who is a London transplant and grew up playing rugby (my new favorite recruit). Offers from Pittsburgh, Tennessee, North Carolina, Boston College, Iowa, Rutgers, Arizona State, Northwestern, Minnesota, Syracuse, Maryland and Penn State and interest from Michigan, Ohio State and Miami (FL).

His measureables are just sick. I am assuming he just doesn't have the technique right now, but that will come. A former Rugby player on the Dl would be nice!! Hopefully we can keep in touch and an offer could come in the future.
