Kirk Barton comments on Wilson from Irish Today
Quote:
Ohio DE Lawrence Wilson
Rick spoke with Wilson's coach, Keith Wakefield, for some analysis of this recently offered Irish prospect.
"One of my former players is Kirk Barton who plays at Ohio State," Wakefield explained. "Kirk's an offensive tackle and he saw Lawrence practice and said he didn't think there was anybody at Ohio State right now who could block him coming off the end."
The full article with more great quotes is in IRISH TODAY.

ND insiders premium
Wilson will make a decision next week- The Irish cleared the way for him to play BBall- still don't know if tOSU has done the same- the rumors abound that he will choose ND.
IMO this will be a tough one to lose

Wilson changed his mind and will not decide this week. He can't decide between tOSU, Pitt and ND so he will take his visits.
I like this delay for tOSU. IMO he was headed to ND and maybe a "shoe" visit on gameday will help our chances.

This definately raises our chances of landing this guy. Steve Helwagen said he was a ND commit probably, but the longer he waits the better. Especially if ND sucks this year as bad as last.

Great point and I agree that this bodes well for tOSU. I still think we lose him to ND due to his interest in basketball, but at least Tressel & Co. can get him on campus for a game. |

Hopefully Sian Cotton (ex SVSM teammate) can help us out.  |

This is obviously just my opinion, and it's probably not worth a whole lot, but you get the feeling Wilson was thinking Notre Dame but as the time came to pull the trigger he had second thoughts. I've read that Wilson is a good basketball player but he projects to be a better football player. Maybe now he'll get a chance to talk to Coach Matta, if he hasn't already, to see if he can play. JT let Salley play both so there shouldn't be a problem there. No matter where Wilson ends up I agree with 86, this delay did nothing but help the Buckeye cause.
