Back to Bud, why did he not mention his offer from tOSU, was the interview conducted before it took place?

Hardly.

Sycamore is one of the finest public high schools in the state and the number of national merrit finalist it produces each year rivals St. Xavier and Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati.

back to Bud.

Wadc45,

I'm sorry to hear that the OSU offer is not official. Bud is probalby the best 'skill' guy in Cincinnati this coming season. I hope we don't have to wait too long to change the title of this thread back to 'Official Offer'.

Good article, thanks, 45, for heads up. Curious about the circumstances regarding his injuries, though.

Particularly: What kind, how often, how severe, how long affected, etc.
Plus, how MANY times does he carry, how good is his line, what offense do they run, does he catch out of the backfield, etc.
The guy looks spectacular on the tape I've seen in a very good conference!

Anybody in the know when time permits, please...much appreciated!

Sycamore, like most teams in the state, run a variotion of the spread. The numbers I posted a couple of pages back are misleading. While the numbers looked almost balanced between run and pass, you will find that the QB has an abundant number of carries.
In 2006, Bud caught two passes against Colerain for 50 yards and looked explosive doing it. But he rarely touched the ball then because Mike Latessa was the starter, a senior, and a good player. Bud, to the best of my knowledge last year (Colerain and the Aviators did not play in 07) was troubled by an ankle and a hamstring. But he played and played well the entire season until he was hurt in week 10. He tried to play in the Moeller playoff game but couldn't go.
I don't think he's injury prone. He played with some pain last year and put up some very good numbers. I look for Mr. Golden to be a 1st team all-state perfomer this year.

Thank you very much, Honor&Glory! And I am very aware of the level of the competition. But one thing you didn't cover, if I may bother you one more time, his line. Are there, were there any D1 prospects in the mix? He really impressed me with his explosion. How much of that was all him? I really like this guy, otherwise I wouldn't bother you.

I did not see much of Sycamore last year. From what I did see, I would rank their o-line in the middle of the pack of the GMC. Colerain's line was the class of the league, Lakota West's line was outstanding, Lakota East's was very underrated and Hamilton's line was better than Colerain fans want to give credit to. Sycamore, however is beautifully coached by Datillo and his staff. They are very smart and some what athletic. They are just undersized. perfect unit for the read option, in my opinion.

I do not believe there are any D1 prospects on the Sycamore line. I'll have to do some more research and get back to you.
