You're right. I deleted it just to make sure we don't get off track.

Why does his thread say Official offer?

There were various reports on the internet that he had an offer, apparently they are wrong, per Kraig.

Thanks are in order to Bukibill & wad. Great news.....I'm excited about these kids. They would be a great addition to what is already a stellar class. With scholarships running out here at tOSU, all these kids must be under a bit of pressure to pull the trigger early and commit here....which is a good thing!

We are still waiting on confirmation on the Appleton offer. Last person who reported on this was Allen Trieu and he and [I believe] Kurelic both state that Appleton had not yet been offered.

Kraig lists an offer from OSU and has a top 3 of LSU, Ohio State, and Illinois with Wisconsin and Michigan in there too. Says OSU is competitive and he wants to win, also likes the idea of playing with Terrelle Pryor. Talks about some of the other schools recruiting him.

Like this update... sufficient confirmation of offer? Sounds like Illinois will be tough to beat out but some real nice comments about OSU.

I would like for this offer to finally come to frutation...

I truly believe that he is the best WR left on our board...other than Shaquelle Evans who I don't believe we have a shot at...

I know the staff really like Jackson...Appleton just brings the size with his game as well as the speed...Fields is the same mold type receiver as Jackson...

Does that have something to do with bananas?

[wadc45]

This isn't the first time he has claimed an offer from OSU...

Agreed, he definitely said he did, but on 4/2 he said he did not. I'm not in the know but maybe he thought he had an offer before 4/2 but realized that it wasn't concrete (the opposite of the Travis Howard situation). With the BuckiBill information and this new article, it seems like something has changed.
