There is talk on one of the Ozone message boards about being offered by Tresel this morning.

what a great photo...

[BGriffBuckeye]

Ditto on the picture Wadc. Is Kurt projected as a safety or CB?

[wadc45]

the folks on O-Zone are saying that it is indeed true that he was offered this morning...DL is looking into it as we speak.

[HabaneroBuck]

I remember reading about him last year. It is not mentioned in the first post, but he would be offered as a tall Cornerback, in all likelihood. He had a boat-load of interceptions as a Junior, although Northmont didn't play the toughest schedule in the SW. 9-1 and they didn't make the playoffs. Tough region.

That photo was originally taken by a DDN staffer. The thing that amazed me about it was that it was a game photo! That is a picture taken during their meeting with Troy. At the very least, the Dayton Daily News presented it as though it was an authentic game photo.

It would be nice to have a tall true corner to turn to against 6'3"+ receivers.

As to the picture, it may be a game photo but I doubt it looked exactly like that when it was uploaded from his camera. Great photography, but there are plenty of things you can do to make the photo a lot different even if its just blending mode changes.

[jimotis4heisman]

that pictures looks like a movie poster or something...WOW

There are some discussions on BN that he did indeed get an offer including by someone who states they know him. This has not been confirmed/denied by any of the insiders as of yet.

[stxbuck]

Northmont plays a quality schedule-GWOC plus CJ. Some of the teams in the GWOC like to air it out-Vandalia, Springfield-South-so Coleman probably saw more action in coverage than your average high school CB.
The photographer should get some kind of award for that photo if it is a game shot.

[Folanator]

D-wayne at BN is making it sound like a verbal might be on the way or even done. Something sounds like it is hapening here.

Offered friday by JT. Kurt can play either safety or corner but he prefers corner. tOSU is his favorite right now. He hopes to make a decision by summer.

[badphish]

Story is up now, he has his offer.

Most Dayton kids are just waiting for an offer from OSU. Daniels was coming from an environment that was not pro-OSU, for whatever reason, and had a bunch of friends at Minny.
