Laurinaitis verbaled to the Gophers early in the process. He now wants to take some visits. He has an offer from Ohio State and will make an official visit on the weekend of December 3rd.

Any leads on how interested he is in Ohio Stated or is he just trying to solidify his decisions before LOI? He sure seems like a good Linebacker with a good nose for the ball. It would be nice to see him playing in the Shoe all the time instead of the MetroDome.

Alot of new LB prospects are coming out right now. Is it because Ohio State has lost interest in Alex Daniels and Freddie Lenix? Or possibly they have lost interest in Ohio State. I hope not, top notch Ohio kids need to stay in Ohio. I would much rather have Ohio kids playing football for Ohio State then any other state. Everyone talked about Florida "speed", well that was bull[censored] because tOSU beat Miami. Its nice to pick up blue chip prospects, but we need to keep all the crop in Ohio at Ohio State.

Wayzata linebacker James Laurinaitis committed to Mason following the Gophers spring game, but now says he will make visits to Ohio State and Notre Dame before making his final decision.

Wasn't his father a wwf wrestler? Not joking. Ifs its the same kid, he has alot of positives. Good eye for the ball and can shed blocks very well to get to the RB's.

Well, you're referring to John Laurinaitis (don't know if the spelling is the same, just copied it from this thread), known when he wrestled as Johnny Ace. He actually still works for WWE behind the scenes I believe. Don't know one way or another if there is any legit relation though.

I thought he was that guy from way back called the road warriors and he was Animal ... showing my age haha
James is a good LB from what I hear. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

It is spelled the same, and he does still work behind the scenes for WWE. Haven't found any profiles on him though.

Not to hijack the thread, but you might actually be on the right track, because Johnny Ace and Road Warrior Animal are brothers. Man I know too much about wrestling from my past days as a fan  . | |
