"If we lose an exceptional prospect because a couple of assistant coaches bicker over where he should try out, then I'm not gonna be a happy camper."
I agree, why not say, we think you project to an OLB and will likely end up there whereever you go, but if you can prove yourself at SS then we will play you at your prefered position. I think there will be a lot better chance at playing OLB in the next few years then SS, especially if we get AMW. Don't lie to the kid, but we went through a similar situation with Sian a couple years ago, eventually he caved, but it worked out for him (somewhat) and he has stayed on the D-line which is what he wanted.
I am not super high on Alex, but looking at him he sure looks like a LB, people have made the shaun taylor reference, but he is built nothing like shuan taylor. ADW is more like Taylor, which is probably why he may stay at SS even if he gains weight. I hope they both end up at tOSU.
