'06 FL S/WR Jamar Hornsby (official thread)

[schwab]

No matter what the reason, if OSU can get Hornsby to the 'Shoe in any way, shape, or form, then I would put the Buckeyes down as a possibility. It may be a long shot, but like Lloyd Christmas said, "..so you're saying there's a chance?" If he shows up for the Texas game, then imagine how many text messages Urban Meyer will send him. "Did you see how bad we blew up LA Tech today? That could be you next year!!" JT wouldn't have to use text messages at that point, rather, speak to him in person, which goes a long way. I would love to see a huge gathering of Hornsby, Wallace, Gibson, Brown, Rose, Small, Thomas, Walton, Schwartz, Moeller, Reuland (?), Tebow (?)...along with the guys we have already solidified. Wells, Homan, Smith, Coleman, Ballard, Chichester, Henton...Maybe each of these guys would look around themselves, and say, why not join this group? These are all recruits that we have a decent-to-strong-to-unbeatable chance at landing. I know it's like a pipe-dream, but a Buckeye fan can dream, right? Can you imagine what that class would look like? Can you imagine what the guru's would say? Bottom line I guess, is that I wouldn't visit OSU unless I was interested. If I have 5 official visits, I'm gonna think along the lines of vacation, and especially if I already knew where I was gonna play. Columbus, Ohio, is not really a place to go for free, just for [censored]s and giggles. I realize OSU has an outside shot at JH, BUT things can change, as I know they did for me when I was 18. We have to outshine the homestate Gators, and the "I'm from Georgia" Bulldogs, but honestly, if Jamar Hornsby would give us a chance, and visit OSU on September the 10th (the day after my B-day), then I really think he would like what he sees. Safety? WR? You name it, Jamar. Go Bucks

Oh yeah schwab? well september tenth is my b-day. so maybe JH would like to give me a birthday present and commit to OSU after the game. That'd sure be nice

I dunno...Maybe Im the outsider that thinks hes keeping OSU on the list to show the nation he has big time offers? Or maybe some other reason, but when he talks about us not being the right "fit" and/or that Mo Wells isnt going to be a big time influent (even if hes his friend).

I just dont think we have a great chance at him...I dunno, maybe we do and Im just not reading it all right??

Isn't he considered the top dog in Florida for this class? Regardless, he could remove OSU from his list and still have a Who's Who offer list.

Thats what I like to hear.

[bobcat84]

awesome news...he won't find any better atmosphere ----then 9/10 in the Shoe.

[G8erBait]

Hornsby is a lucky guy. 9/10 at Columbus for OSU-Texas and then 9/17 at Gainesville for Florida-Tennessee. Both night games and both will have a great atmosphere. How lucky...

lol kinda makes me wish i was a bigtime hs recruit. id love to go the biggest games in the country w/o paying a dime.

[tazbanksjacket]

That's big for OSU to get him up there for the Texas game. I think he fools us all and waits until the Army All-American game before saying his pick, even though he will know for a while.

I think his final 4 will be Flordia, Michigan, OSU and Tech. Flordia is still probaly the top dawg, but I think is is a little more open then a lot of people believe.

Do you have any proof that it is more open thatn people belive or is it a speculation on your part?

One of the former coaches at Sandlewood, now coaches with me in Atlanta. he still talks to him, he said Jamar loves Flordia, but is still thinking about the other schools.

Coach Hazell has been doing a great job with him. Perhaps his visit with us will help lower his excitement about UF. Unfortuantley, he isn't all that close to MoWells, although he does have some influance.
