Winning the WR/TE MVP was Kraig Appleton of East St. Louis High School in Illinois. Appleton, 6-foot-2 1/2 and 190-pounds, was one of the best receivers we have ever seen and the best receiver to date at the National Underclassmen Combine. He is big, strong, fast, and smooth, and just as with Milner, he is destined to become a 20-offer kid down the road. He also had a 28.5-inch vertical, 8?11? broad, 4.57 shuttle, and 4.66 40.

Let's see. He interested in the 3 schools that have beaten Ohio State the past two years - and the media's darling, USC. So we stand what of a chance?

I have a feeling the kid is interested in the last two national champions, the closest big school in the big ten, and one of the best teams of the decade

Why can't you just let me be pessimistic?
