Rivals$--'Shaq' still feeling Ohio State

Rashaun had offers from Boston College and Maryland before he played a varsity game. However, he has visited tOSU twice and is very high on the Buckeyes and Coach Meyer.

We were once reported as a leader for Shaq, but recently have been pushed back by Oklahoma. Being so early in the process I'm neither excited or concerned where we stand but here is a question for all of our recruiting buffs.

Now that he is going to IGM Academy, where we has a commit and other targets, is there a thought that this could be a positive for us? Especially after the hire of Alfred and his track record for pulling in Florida talent? Maybe a change in environment actually works in our favor here? Was just thinking that this could give him chance to build relationships with possible future bucks, although I realize the school is a factory for talent for many colleges and it's not like there will not be recruits from many other schools besides OSU.

Will be really interesting to see what happens with IMG. They landed more 2016 top 100 prospects than most powerhouse college programs will. Gerald is there and it sounds like we are in good shape with Barrow also (potentially leading?). I don't think anyone will be able to really get a consistent pipeline going there, but if a bunch of those kids decide they all want to go to college together some year, that could be a program-changing development for some school.
