relaxxxxx...........this isn't a flame, just a tidbit from the BN recruiting board from Chris Pool (the Scout Midwest guru) i thought i would share for those that are interested...........as for my 2 cents, i think Mr. Ginn obviously sells the benefits of OSU to his guys, and the benefits of going to OSU are MANY, including the teammates.........but i think this should help put into perspective that Glenville to OSU is not as much of a rock solid guarantee as some would like to believe
Bucknuts,
I saw the thread about Daven Jones developing so I thought I'd share a little something with you.
I spoke last night in length with Tedd Ginn Sr. and we talked about the Glenville-Ohio State pipeline.
Coach Ginn told me that there isn't a pipeline. He said his job is to develop the kids and help them get their education. If it's Kent or Ohio State, it doesn't matter.
He did say something that did make a lot of sense to me. He said people may see that we have an Ohio State pipeline here but the truth is that a lot of these kids have former teammates at Ohio State and the kids that he has at Ohio State want their former teammates to join them.
Coach Ginn says he takes his kids to a lot of camps during the summer and has respect for every college coach. He mentioned Kirk Ferentz and Barry Alvarez by name.
Lastly, Coach Ginn said to me..."Chris, Ohio State can't take everybody and I have 11 D-1 kids."
