I wonder if the power of ESPN will eventually make that the premier game. It also seems smart that they are "offering" kids earlier than the AA game and getting them to commit to that game early.

Here is a list and bio of all the players in the game but yes, there is a ton of top players in the UA game this year. The downside of them grabbing all these players early (for both games that is) is that I think many talented players will get left out. I think neither game should be able to invite players until some camps and combines are over.

Thanks for the list. It seems as though almost half of the guys we have offered are in the game. I may actually even check out a few of those practices they show this year.

As far as them taking players early, they are sort of the newcomers as far as games go, so it makes sense that they would try to go out there and make the offers first, kind of like Illinois in Ohio.

Wow. Sometimes you see a guy with 18 offers and it is a bunch of MAC teams, Northwestern, Indiana, Cincinnati, etc. That 18 is pretty much a who's who of college football powers.

Adams and his father talk about the family's Massillon ties and recruiting.

I don't post on here often, but if you look at my post history I've never hidden who I am. I wrote the article. My take, from an Ohio State perspective, is that if Corey Adams ends up at Ohio State it's not because he is an Ohio State fan. It's because it's where he feels most comfortable at. My intent with the article wasn't to press recruiting, more just to put out his families' Massillon ties to our readers. I think people who check this site out also might be interested in that part as well.

I will say this, just with my short conversation with him and his dad, they seem like good people and I know I'll be rooting for him wherever he ends up.

Nice article, sounds like we have a shot.

Sounds like a good kid and a good family. Cool that he still loves Ohio. Just reading between the lines, it kind of sounds like good news for USC. He doesn't seem to fell any pressure to stay in-state and will get out and visit schools. From some of his dad's comments, he doesn't seem too high on ASU or AU. So OSU has a chance. However, it seems like even though he has a soft spot in his heart for the Buckeyes, he is more of a west coast kid.
