The one good aspect of the "package deal" is that it's always Saddler hyping it up. Hale has never said that it's a done deal; in fact, he's mentioned how "each one" (read: he) will pick the best school for themselves (read: himself). I still think it's Hale to
OSU and Saddler to WVU or UV. Saddler has done a really good job riding Hale's back to get extra offers. I still think there is a high likelihood that Hale (and maybe Saddler) will schedule an official to
OSU during the year. If that happens, a split decision becomes more likely, one would think.
