I am sure some kids would take this the wrong way, but in the coaches eyes that might show that the kid wasn't dedicated to the program anyways and they will move on...

Rivals has the certified weight at 189. 15 pounds puts him at 6' 204.
With the type of back he is, this is not an unreasonable request imo.

I agree, and I was just going off the 200 that H&G said...

Right on. I was using your quoted material...I knew we were in agreement. Big difference between 189 and 204 for a back like Bud.

agreed...but why must he put the weight on BEFORE an offer is extended especially if he's going to redshirt as a freshman at OSU? I do think it's an unreasonable request and smacks a little of stringing the kid out as a back up plan. Bud would be better suited looking elsewhere in my opinion because it doesn't sound like OSU really wants him.

I can see that point of view also. He is obviously not at the top of the board so looking around or even committing to a good situation is definitely a valid decision.

i think you also have to look at it that the coaching staff is coaching bud, they are looking to get these kids to improve themselves. i also think you have to realize that a writer wrote this through the quotes of a 17 year old kid. play telephone twice, see what happens. now play telephone twice off of advice of a 17 year old.
look at it this way, if bud puts on 12 lbs does it mean he automatically wont get an offer?
if bud gains 17 lbs does it mean he automatically doesnt get an offer? |
