"It is really down to Indiana, Illinois and Ohio State. The only other place he might even consider is Nebraska. But I think he's always had the incredible dream to play at Ohio State and it is starting to finally materialize for him."
That was a quote from his coach.

Sign him up. A talented kid that want to be a Buck, let's go...Now on the other hand this kid would probably not get as kind of a reception on BN

I really love this kid, for reasons I am not aware of right now. He is not highly recruited, but just strikes me as having some untapped talent our staff could bring out of him. Hopefully he commits this weekend, along with Robiskie, on his visit. Maybe get the ball rolling for some of the others guys to jump aboard.

I wonder if OSU is really interested in taking both or if this is a first come first served situation.
BTW - I reallly appreciate the way the Mods keep info on a recruit in one thread. It is great when a kid resurfaces like this and you can go back and revisit his history. In that context he doesn't sound like the 'reach' he might otherwise appear to be. |

I don't see why they wouldn't take both. Unless we get a few guys on signing day out of the blue, we are really only in on 3 guys: Wilson, Gwaltney and Ashley. Getting both Washington and Robiskie makes 20 for the class, which is right around where we all thought we would be at.
Plus he is an athlete really, not just a WR. He, Hartline and Amos all have the ability to play somewhere int eh secondary. So, it may have something to do Dukes.. or may not. I just think it would be a pleasure to bring in 4 solid WR/ATH to go along with our studs already. |

Agreed. Especially with the Dukes situation undecided, picking up additional WR recruits makes sense.

Washington does indeed have an offer. He says that OSU is his leader, kinda (not my words!), and that he could commit this weekend although he isn't sure. His preference is to play offense, the Buckeyes want him at safety, but he could play either at OSU.

No offense to either of these kids, but being invited this late screams 'Plan B'. Two plan B guys is fine. A plan B speed guy plus a plan B power guy or big speed guy I can see. Two plan B 'speed' guys would surprise me - especially when most of the guys who have been up in the air for the past couple of weeks have been power and big speed. Not questioning it in any way if they both come on board, just wondering if - given that this is the final weekend - they are making sure they get one. JMHO.

Wasn't Troy Smith a "plan b" type by your definition? IIRC he was set to verbal to WVU until OSU came in late in the game to offer. |
