If you watch one of the videos on rivals, He clearly says that dorrell was the main reason he decommitted from UCLA. He said when dorrell was at nebraska, he started recruiting him and if dorrell was still at nebraska he probably would have gone there. Dorrell was key for him, WE SHOULD HIRE DORRELL AS AN ASSISTANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET AUNDRE  |

I don't see that 5th gear that Peterson and McFadden have. He has good speed but if he's not running away easily from high schoolers, he's not gonna be able to do it as well as Peterson and McFadden did against collegians. Not saying he's not a good back, just maybe a notch below those two.

I suppose. Running style really did remind me of them. Keep in mind however, Peterson and McFadden got a lot faster in college. They werent necessarily speed backs in highschool. |

Seeing the number 30 in those uniforms, I could not help but think Mike Rozier(sp) Aundre has good burst, good balance, good vision and seems to run down hill and doesn't waste time when he sees the hole open up. I could see him in S&G (specially if it means TP is wearing the same colors )

Yet ANOTHER reminder...THIS THREAD IS ABOUT AUNDRE DEAN. Any other speculation about any other recruits had best be taken to the Mill, and even then you are walking a fine line. We have made our philosophy on this situation VERY CLEAR.

Rivals AMP $ (link to his Rivals bio's video tab --- watch the AMP interview -- for some reason it won't let me post the direct link)
7/18/07
I post this link because of what he discusses as his reasons for committing to UCLA. He mentions his relationship with Dorrell and how he is a family-oriented guy, their strong recruiting class this year, their tradition at RB, etc. He is a very well-spoken kid as well. My intentions were to note the similarities between why he committed to UCLA and what we offer at Ohio State.
Coaching: Ohio State > UCLA
Recruiting Class: Ohio State > UCLA (currently ranked 5th by Rivals; due to 22 commits to our 15, but we have the better quality per recruit)
Tradition at RB: Ohio State > UCLA
He doesn't seem to have any real relationship with the school, but it was mainly to Coach Dorrell & with him gone, as long as we can bring him up for a visit, I think we have a better shot than ANYBODY to bring him in. But of course, these are all just my observations.

If Dorrell ends up at Dook, as is being conjectured, this kid could be a great addition to their recruiting class. If our staff wants him, he must be good. So I want him here!
