HIGH SCHOOL NEWSWATCH
DiLillo will go to Ohio State
Thursday, August 02, 2007
From staff reports
Madison senior Nic DiLillo was sitting along the third-base line at an Indians game last week when he received a text message from Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel with a scholarship offer. DiLillo thought one of his friends was pulling a gag and responded with a message saying he was a little busy.
Then, DiLillo recognized the 614 area code for Columbus.
"I thought, Holy smokes,' " DiLillo said. "I called him as soon as I got to my car. He said, Hear me out,' and offered me. My buddies and I were all jumping up and down going crazy."

From the CPD article:
"It's worth it to take public criticism to be an Ohio State alumnus for the rest of my life."
Damned straight, my friend. Damned straight.

Probably also why you see most people saying that Stoney is a WR in this class and DiLillo is the only true TE.

...and a good argument can be made that Barton never was a TE that might "slide down." Barton played TE in a classic wing T offense which, in effect, made him an OT. He RARELY went out for a pass. He was recruited from the beginning as an OT candidate, not as a TE. |
