'11 OH ATH Akise Teague (Cincinnati Signee)

[BuckTwenty]

Talked to one of my buddies who was at the game this weekend who compared his game to Jacquizz & James Rodgers from Oregon State. Not a bad comparison, I'd say.

By Bill Greene...talks about what a big part of his life Coach Reardon has been...says this was exactly how he wanted to go out...has officials set-up to Wisconsin, Penn State and Cincinnati...hoping for an OSU offer.

He has to be a reciever at tOSU, I am not sure if he will have a huge impact at tOSU because of that, but I do know if he goes to another big10 school it will come back to bite us whether he plays WR or RB.

He could be the 3rd reciever we've been missing the last few years with the speed to take short slant or cross make one guy miss then go all the way.

Why do you say he has to be a WR at OSU? I don't see any reason he couldn't play RB. Not saying he should play one or the other but I don't think either (or DB) should be ruled out. Just bring him in and see where he fits best.

Exactly. He's not small, just short. Jordan Hall & Jaamal Berry were similar body types.

First thing I thought of when I read this was that he "Reared" him haha

DB is his third best position and RB is a log jam. I think you sell him on being a WR. He can make the biggest impact there the quickest at tOSU. At other schools he could have more of an opportunity to play fast anywhere.

You sell him on being a Buckeye. If that ain't enough....

Like so many in this '11 class, you get him because he's a gamer and he is versatile. He could play, contribute and maybe even start at a number of positions: KR/PR, special teams, DB, WR/Slot, RB. If he proves good enough, he'll be an effective Buckeye and will end up contributing significant playing time after every game.

I don't think he'll need to be "sold" on being anything. IMO, all he needs is an offer, then it's game over, in favor of the Buckeyes.

I am really, really hoping he gets that offer!

 

[OneBuckeye]

I agree with everyone but when I say sell I mean I would want him at WR the most at tOSU. I understand he wants a buckeye offer badly and that is the reason he should commit if given an offer. I am saying if he were to commit I would want him to work on being a WR and the skills associated.

19 carries for 249 yards and 4 TD's ... plus 4 receptions for 94 yards and 1 TD ... Ursuline wins the Division V title over Coldwater 51 to 21.

Several of his runs were apparently highlight reel material.

Tressel and 4 other coaches in attendance.

Fpr those who think that he is too small for running back:

Akise Teague: 5' 8", 178 lbs
Lionel James: 5' 6", 171 lbs
Joe Morris: 5' 7", 190 lbs
Warrick Dunn: 5' 8", 187 lbs
Barry Sanders: 5' 8", 200 lbs
Tyrell Sutton: 5' 8", 213 lbs
Javon Ringer: 5' 9", 205 lbs
Emmett Smith: 5' 9", 216 lbs

Teague will probably add a few pounds in college and should play in the 190-200 range.

Very nice post, and a nice later addition of Archie by another poster.

Bottom line is, this kid can "play the game." I don't give a dang how tall a player is. If he can play, give him a shot.

Peace

Looks like he could be a Percy Harvin type player. Use him in the backfield, use him in motion, the slot, line him up at WR, use him in the kicking game...

Me likey... I'll tell Coach to give him an offer this week.
