I think Larimore is on track towards being an NFL caliber DT and Denlinger may be as well.

By Heath Schneider.....Adams makes it clear Ohio State will get a visit (along with his father). Orginally from Massillon, him and his father are Buckeye fans. Still has not narrowed down a "top" list.

Also guys that some are looking for are very hard to come by and there are maybe 5 or 6 a year in college football...

That's why taking Rowell shocked me even when he got done to 300. I think you need a big guy and a quick guy inside personally. I think Adams could be up to 300 easily by the time he gets to college and would be perfect to go with Simon. On top of that, it sounds as if we have a legit shot and I've always liked our chances if we make him a priority.

In terms of heavy guys, I mentioned in another thread about olineman, but I don't think they like guys with bad weight...If a guy weighed 380 and it was good weight they would go after him, but they want someone with their weight in control, can continue to go hard play after play, and make plays, not just take up space.
And there aren't that many guys over 300 with good weight...Those are the top 1 or 2 DT's in the country every year...
I still think they want to see kids from out west kinda make the first move and visit on their own dime or be very interested in scheduling an official visit, but if there is someone they like about as much, or someone showing more interest from the midwest, they pass on the guy from out west...Much like the O'Dowd situation, where he kept saying he was going to visit, but never did...

I agree completely. A lot of Buckeye fans who are worried about our lack of size in the middle seem to forget that our great d-lines in '05, '03, and '02 didn't have a big 330 lber. Our '02 d-line was relatively small and didn't have anyone listed over 300 lbs on the depth chart. The top 2 DT's last year in cfb, Dorsey and Ellis, were about 6'1" 305-310 lbs. It's really not about size.
Back to Adams though.

Sweet, sweet music!! His hinted of previous interest now confirmed...and explained; Ohio roots! If we can land him w/Simon inside, what a haul it would be, indeed!! | |
