Perhaps you don't follow Ohio State recruiting very closely, so let me explain my position by giving you some reasons why Ohio State might not want to schedule a visit with Rahim: 1. Rahim has already issued a verbal commitment (albiet a "soft" one) to another school;
2. Rahim does not have a written offer from Ohio State, and Ohio State usually doesn't schedule visits with players who do not have "official" offers;
3. Ohio State has already filled at least half of its 2008 recruiting class;
4. Ohio State has a good-to-very-good chance to get verbals from the following offered players: Scott, Goebel, Mobley, Hale, Pryor, Jenkins, Koger, Zordich, McCarthy, and Wells. Even landing half of those prospects would pretty much close out the 2008 class;
5. Ohio State usually offers one or two kids at camp, and those kids usually accept their offers on the spot. This year there are many "local" candidates such as Rowell, Woods, J. Admas, Pead, Rippy, Gardiner, Staples, Beachum, T. Hill, Craig, etc., not to mention Sam McGuffie....
6. Safety is not a position of need for Ohio State, especially in a small class;
7. Ohio State has already offered a "local" safety (Dan McCarthy), who is down to Ohio State and Notre Dame. If McCarthy selects the Buckeyes, then I can't see them taking another safety in this class. So, there are a few reasons why there might not be "mutual interest" between Ohio State and Rahim Moore. But I suppose that Ohio State should send every kid with a passing interest in the Buckeyes on an all-expenses-paid trip to Columbus.
