VG, any idea why Ohio State hasn't shown must interest? I've read people say it's because it's lack of height but Shaun Lane isn't tall by any means. You get the feeling if they wait on Harrison after they see what they can get oos it may be too late. Since you've seen him in person I was just wondering if you saw something.

i think it is two things. one a numbers crunch (especially at corner) and two the height. while harrison does have some decent muscle mass he is just very short. antoine winfield was very short too though but nobody hits like antoine though either.

Harrison measured 5-8.5 at the Nike camp. Does that concern anyone else? He's not slow (ran a 4.25) or skinny (weighed in at 190) by any means. How is his tackling ability? His numbers almost make me think he'd be a better safety, where he doesn't necessarily need the height to go one on one with a 6-4 receiver every play.

I also wonder how serious him and Ringer are with playing together. Just about everybody in the know believes Ringer won't get an offer. I wonder if they both end up at Iowa when it's all said an done.

I wondered the same thing about Harrison possibly ending up at safety but VG, who has seen him, doesn't think he projects there.

I see Harrison strictly as a corner. But since the trend toward tall receivers is still growing, I hope he is too! Love the speed and strength combination, though.

Do these guys have the skills to make it on the other side of the ball? Their numbers and size sound a little like Barn Childress...errr Bam (thanks keith jackson), is their a possibility as skat backs or third receivers or even as return men with the speed?

DDN- Harrison article

It takes more than a wayward starting block to irk Brandon Harrison of Chaminade-Julienne. But Ohio State University might have found a way.

"I'm not that mad because track isn't my main thing like football. I already got my 4.25 in the 40."

Harrison, an explosive 5-foot-10, 185-pound defensive back, lit up the recruiting chart with that 40 in a Nike camp at OSU this spring. According to Harrison, the immediate fallout was football scholarship offers from every Big Ten, Big 12, PAC and SEC school, "except Ohio State, and I'm in Ohio," he said.

"(OSU) came down and got my film, but I'm not gonna say they offered until they offer. I'm hoping (for a Buckeye offer), but I'm still undecided."

Harrison's top three college choices? "Still undecided," he laughed.

C-J also has running back Javon Ringer returning. All he's done is crack 2,000 yards rushing the past two seasons. And he's bigger (5-10, 204) and reportedly faster than Harrison. We'll find that out next spring when Ringer likely will run track for the first time.

Like Harrison, Ringer also has been linked to big-show offers. "Yeah, I heard there might be a package deal for us," Harrison said. "You hear everything on the Internet."

Harrison also was in C-J's backfield last fall, gaining 500-plus yards and scoring six touchdowns. "That's all I need," he said. "They only run me a little bit. You don't see them putting Javon in my (defensive) spot when I get tired."
