outstanding article from dawg nation about derrik and especially about how ohio state under meyer outclasses the competition in recruiting:

“They are recruiting him better than anybody else,” his father Derrik T. Allen said. “They call him weekly and go through the film. They talk about what they see and what they think he can do to get better. They reach out to my wife and I and send us stuff about the school. They know he wants to study computer science, so they send him stuff about that program.”

...

“They are just very consistent,” Allen’s father said. “Ohio State is. You have to give them that. Derrik talks to Urban weekly. That’s about a 5- to 10-minute conversation they have weekly. No other head coach is recruiting him like that.”

...

“If you look over the course of their conversations over an entire month, then maybe one or two of his conversations (with my son) are about football,” Derrik Allen said. “They are talking about his class schedule and the computer science program and usually not about football.”

...

“My wife Chinita is a lifelong educator, and she’s ultimately going to be the one these coaches have to sell,” Derrik T. Allen said. “Ohio State is selling Mom right now. No other school is working on selling Mom about the value of their education right now. Academics are going to be huge for her.”

Great read about a kid I love to see OSU land. Jeff Sentell is pretty plugged in from what I understand but @BigWoof31 surely knows better. What I do know is academics will be huge with this kid and his family. As such I expect ND to be a factor (he was at the ND/MSU fiasco). He has already said Notre Dame, Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia and NC State will make his top 10. UGA should and will be a huge factor as well...his HS coach played for Smart.

Should be noted also - as far as public schools go - Lassiter is a one of the top 20 in the state of GA. So he's been pushed academically thus far.
