“I never grew up a big Ohio State fan like most of the guys in Ohio. I want to get away from home and experience something different.”

I think that "sour grapes" may be pretty close to the mark...

Rivals on Greg Orton (6/30/04)
Quote:
The 6-4, 190-pounder has gotten "about 18" offers from schools ranging from Michigan State to Iowa to Pittsburgh to Wisconsin and to Boston College.
But he'd like for Ohio State to come through with one. The Buckeyes haven't thus far, but Orton is remaining patient.
"I've been there unofficially for games and things like that," Orton told BuckeyeSports.com. "The atmosphere is something else. It's one of the best in the nation."

He currently favors Ohio State and Michigan State...

"I like both programs, but Ohio State just has not shown as much interest as the others to this point. I've gotten a few hand-written letters and such, but not much else. Michigan has shown a lot of interest, but I haven't been offered yet. I'm just showing loyalty to the schools that have been with me since the beginning."

In any event, I think that Greg is a very good talent, and I'd really like to see him get an offer. With Amos leaning to Purdue or Michigan; with Robiskie thinking seriously about Miami; and with Lymon being somewhat of a long shot; I hope that Greg holds out for an
OSU offer, as one might be forthcoming.
