'05 GA LB Tavares Kearney (Georgia signee)

This kid from could be hard to bring North, but he would be a nice addition. Assuming we do get McCoy along with Spitlier and Laur...the kid from Minnesota and Kearney do they all stay at LB. Most times the measurables on these kids are exaggerated, so I wonder if any of these kids have either the size to move to DE or the speed to move to safety or fullback. Anyways I hope Kearney becomes a Buck.

Kearney confirms visit for this weekend. His four finalists (South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, and Ohio State) are all even. OSU is recruiting him as an OLB (weak side).

I don't think that he's ever been to Columbus, which he calls "a fairly small town", but he likes Ohio State because "everyone [in Columbus] knows about Ohio State football" and the Bucks draw "large crowds, they put a lot of players to the league, a lot of great press, and a lot of T.V. time."

I read that small town quote also. Boy, other coaches will say anything to dissuade someone. I can hear it now. Son, why would you want to go to that small town college that will be on probation and have new coach and will be flooded once sometimes twice a year?

I think OSU has a great shot at this kid....he sounds like he is very interested in OSU.

"They seem pretty cool. I can't wait to talk to Coach Tressel," he acknowledged "I'm looking forward to getting to know the coaches, the players, and there. I also am looking forward to see things academic wise to see how the school is and how it feels up there."
Get him on campus and the chances are good he picks OSU in my opinion.

to futher add to the drama, the coaches were spposed to call him with an offer this week, and if so, he would visit. he plays OLB like mccoy. mccoy was supposedly going to inform the coaches of his decision before he went to the AA game.

i'll let you speculate from here.
this is from an article posted today on scout.com

"....This quick linebacker out of Tucker High School is being recruited to play strong safety for Ohio State and outside linebacker by the other schools. "

No worries 'bout McCoy. I think Saturday could be real nice for the Bucks.

Somebody has it backwards. Kearney is quoted on BN as saying OSU wants him as a Will and other schools are looking at him as a safety or OLB.

What are the chances Kearney will be interested in tOSU if Rico hops on board? Assuming Lenix is used as a Cie Grant type, won't that still leave three solid LB prospects, plus Lenix?

I realize Rico isn't a lock and the uncertainty at DB might move lenix to S, but it still seems like a full cupboard for Kearney to be joining.
