Glad to hear it...I really would like to see Buford in the '08 class with Mullens, Offutt and Crater.

Good thing I wasnt on to see you leave Roe out or you would of had an earful.

I really hope that Buford has an offer. I honestly havent seen him play, but from all the stuff I have heard about him, and the way he has skyrocketed up the charts, I think he would be a great addition to the 08' class.

I keep hearing Buford game compared to Cook's game. One thing is for sure, Burford has turned some heads this summer with his play. Is he the #1 player in Ohio? I am not sure, the class is very good, but adding him and Roe would be huge.

At the ABCD camp....Buford was named the underclassman player of the week.

I don't know where Lamb at BN gets his information from but he has consistently said on free threads that Buford is the #1 priority for the 08 class. I don't know if this has changed in the past week with Roe blowing up.

Should this type of discussion take place in the Basketball Recruiting thread? I was not sure where to put it.

Buford was very impressive at the ABCD camp this past week. Buford averaged over 15 points at the camp, good for second in the class. He finished as one of the top 5 ranked players in the camp. Buford recently took an unofficial visit to tOSU. Ohio State and Michigan State are on his early list.

Article with Buford's HS coach. His coach mentions he has been to Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State and liked each visit, he feels location may be factor.

why? I think location would be an advantage for tOSU, although I know Toledo is close to Ann Arbor. If you have a chance check out the free edition of Schott in the Arm by Kyle Lamb, he has some insights into Buford's recruitment.

Junkie, that was the difference in distance that I was referring to.

I could not find this on BN after much searching. Are his insights into Buford's recruiting positive? Thanks.

It's positive for Ohio State at this point....

It isn't a free article for non-premium members anymore. It goes to the annual pass screen now. Just an FWIW to the poster who asked for it.

Thanks for the update Hotmic.........unfortunately, due to the article now being premium, I can't give details but I can say that Ohio State is heavily involved.
