'09 PA DL Tyron Ezell (Pitt Verbal)

[Taosman]

You don't mean.......Pitt has a shot?

Rivals $

Tyron says playing for a NC is not as important to him as being close to his family so Pitt is leading over tOSU. He feels he would be another number at Ohio State.

Edited for clarity.

Doesn't Tressel constantly stress family? Makes me wonder if there's a little negative recruiting going on.

Maybe he means playing close to his family.

I worded that poorly...he meant being close to his family is more important.

I have no knowledge of this but I wouldn't be surprised if Wanny was playing the "you'd just be another number at Ohio State" card.

[C-busBuck]

Not the another number theme!! I am sure he will have to compete for a position at Pitt as well.. Man!!

[OregonBuckeye]

Ahh, I see. I thought the "just another number" comment was curious too.

He has an offer? Seriously?

I wonder if Wanny used that tactic in the pros.. "You'll just be another number.. You know $7 or $8 million!!"

If by high draft pick, then yes Ezell. You'd be just another number at tOSU.

I'm sure our coaching staff will be talking with him soon to qualm any fears he has about just being another talented prospect on a team like ours.

That article really soured me on him. The fact that a national championship is not that important and the fact that he sounds a bit scared of our recruiting class is two big cons in my eyes.

Some kids are confident in their ability to compete. However, you have to believe as an OSU fan that the competition will be much tougher to get on the field than at Pitt. If not, we are going to have some rough times up front in the next couple years. With Simon, Fellows, Bellamy, and Newsome in, I'm sure he feels better about serious playing time at Pitt.

I didn't want to straight forward call him out on the competition thing!!

BN$--Ezell Has His Focus On Two Schools

Tyron says Pitt is his favorite but he wants to continue talking to tOSU and take all five visits.

Very telling that he tried to call Fickell but there was no answer.
