As for Fellows I hope he stays committed to us. He seemed to really love Champaign and Coach Zook. It's very early though so anything can happen.

James never got an offer from tOSU...
Melvin now has the offer he's hoped for... We'll see what he does sooner rather than later IMO...

I guess if you accept an offer early, it is like an insurance policy. You are pretty much guaranteed to receive a scholarship to college regardless of how your senior year goes (as long as you keep your nose clean). and since it is only verbal, the school is bound to it, but not the player.
Probably not the reason in this case, but it could be for some kids

I don't believe this is correct. It doesn't guarantee anyone anything. |

It is unusual for a school to pull the scolly away from a recruit who has verbally accepted one that was offered to him unless....academic, or legal issues come into play.
Not saying it never happens, but it is rare

From the OSU site...reacps Garfields struggle this year...and talks about trying to stay humble after the offers started rolling in. Talks about why he chose Illinois and talks about why he really likes OSU.
