The way I've heard it, Sweat went into the spring game wanting to verbal to
OSU. Its obvious he didn't commit. The message board chatter I saw painted it that he wasn't unsettled by his fellow recruits, so much as it was the actual Buckeye players, that they were too arrogant for his liking. I took the liberty of piecing two and two together. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was fabricated, or started by guys "reading in between the lines". ND fans thought our latest commit, Brandon Newman, was turned off at his spring game visit, and he just pledged his verbal on Saturday.
And all in all, I don't think I'd chalk up any of these rumors to any "Weis arrogance" angle. It's not just one school's fanbase that spread biased rumors. A poster mentioned Brandon Beal nearly verballing to
OSU. Latest report is his leaders are UF and USC. Its not just us.
Its mostly the nature of the beast. Recruiting rumors are about 75% crap stir - I've heard just about everything, about everyone, from dozens of guys who "work with a guy who's brother is a friend of ____" . For example, I heard Stoneburner was ND's to lose, and that Kyle Rudolph was a Buckeye - and the complete opposite happened. To think its
all ND rumors is folly. Everyone contributes to half baked rumors.
Everyone.
