I'm sure that there's a fine line to walk between getting your name out there and getting noticed by schools, coaching staffs, and even to a lesser extent fans to generate a "buzz" about you and self promoting vs. jumping into a big ole can of worms that the recruiting process can become when the fan(atic)s of college sports get involved and start to report whether you're wearing scarlet & grey underwear or maize & blue on a particular day.

I don't think many of the student athletes truly know how overwhelming the hype & pressure & expectations put on them can become.

Kindof makes me think of Eric Haw's (paraphrasing) "You all know what I did...it's Ohio State" quote discussed a few days ago in his thread. Well it's Ohio State and Big Ten and SEC football, etc., etc. And sites like MySpace obviously 'feeds the monster' so to speak, to get inside these kid's heads and learn who they are and what they potentially bring to the table for our football programs.

I'm as 'guilty' as anyone searching for the latest info...any little piece of info suggesting that we have a shot with a future hopeful next Buckeye Great. I guess as Fans we have to find our own line to walk and be careful not to slip too far over to the fanatic side of that line.
