BN$--Michigan Prep Star Kearney Considers Ohio State

Brandan says Coach Matta told his coach that the Buckeyes will be coming after him hard. Also, his cousin Braylon Edwards told him to go to tOSU if he has the chance.

his cousin Braylon Edwards told him to go to tOSU if he has the chance.

That is something I would have never expected for Edwards to say but I certainly hope it becomes a reality and Brandan ends up at t OSU.

That is very strange to hear! Would you guess its because of respect for Matta over Beilein? Or where the programs currently are ( rebuilding bigtime versus the edge of brilliance/dynasty )? Either way its refreshing and cool to hear - if true!

[gracelhink]

Recalling Braylon's battle with RR for the #1 jersey, could that unresolved dispute cause disdain for his alma mater?
Maybe it is all about "family values"

Looks like he would be a great compliment to Teague in the backcourt...A guy that could handle the ball if needed and has the game of a SG...

Brandan himself talks about the visit...talks about how he liked the facilities...his father talks about sitting down as a family with Coach Matta.

[crazybuckfan40]

Awesome news, I really hope he gets the offer...Teague is a long shot at best, and I really like Kearney's game, even tho it may be more of a 2g, and we would still be looking for a pg as well.

What is the signifigance of June 15? Kearney's dad is expecting an offer on the 15th and it sounds like many are expecting Aaron Craft to issue a verbal to OSU on the same day? Do they have visits lined up or is there something going on that day specifically?

First day you can officially offer players who are not yet juniors in high school...

I would have to expect then that the following receive offers then:

PG Marquis Teague
PG Chasson Randle
W Brandan Kearnay
F Percy Gibson
F/C Zach Price

Kearney has been said to have a game much like Turner's. I like these combo 1/2 guards we bring in (Turner, Lenny Smith, hopefully Kearnay), esecially when we don't quite have a "true" point guard to rely on, though Offutt and Craft should provide solid depth at the position.

We've been on Kearnay for a while. Looks like the added attention is paying off.

It has been posted somewhere on this site that Offult will not play PG next year which means he probably will not PG the following year but this type of discussion does not belong here. Back to Brandan.
