I sure hope we don't have to have the same exact discussion everytime sutton's thread pops up. I am just passing along more info on this Ohioan's blooming career, especially b/c he was a longshot to make an impact like this.
Maurice Wells had serious ties to columbus and liked
OSU. Pete Carroll didn't look at Sutton, he and every other DI coach coveted wells. We also wanted a big back, so we went after Gwaltney.
I seriously doubt they would have tried to bring in 3 rbs last year. Nobody in their right mind would have offered sutton, who liked UM better, and committed WAY before the recruiting heated up. Had he wanted to become a buckeye, he wouldn't have verbaled so early.
Congratulate the kid on his success. I love watching small kids prove the world wrong about measurables.
OSU did not make a mistake. As pointed out, this kid was 3rd on the NW depth chart. We got the parade all-american.
As for the poster who is judging wells by his fumble, Pittman did the exact same thing a few times. In both cases, they were undersized and it cost them fumbles. Notice how much better Pittman's ball security has been this year, and he is not exactly huge. Give Wells 10 lbs this season and then reevaluate.
