Thats like Jimmy Davidson, recruit WR from OH. His father, uncle, and grandfather all played at tOSU. If Henry's father played at Kansas, there is probably a good chance Henry follows his fathers footsteps and heads to Kansas.

Well I guess that question has been answered how many ships that we will have...

It is nice that Thad isnt just settling on a player, as he is saying that he wants the best available...You can't tell me as a kid, that if a coach told you that, that you wouldnt want to play for him...

I guess Henry is Matta's number 1 guy...

either it's a statement that matta is expecting to sign (or at least really pursue) another scholarship player for the 08 class or that he is resigning himself to the fact that he must leave a scholarship unsigned due to the apr situation. considering that matta very recently offered negedu, who then committed to arizona, perhaps it is the case that matta wants only one player for 09 because he does want another for 08. then again, perhaps matta wants only one player for 09 because he prefers to sign possibly 3 for 10 (2 who have direct osu ties). 3 added sholarships for 10 would require that two players leave early from a full roster, which is not unreasonable (koufos, mullens, buford).

I go with this reasoning but hopefully we don't lose all three of those guys.
