The Buckeyes' Top Prospects for 2008
Speed
1. Mike Floyd, St. Paul Cretin-Derham Hall (6' 3", 195 lbs, 4.55 forty); Ohio State (offered) and Notre Dame (offered) lead. Some people consider Floyd to be the best wide receiver prospect in the country for the class of 2008. As a junior, Mike caught 63 passes for 1,240 yards and 16 touchdowns en route to being named the AP Player of the Year for the state of Minnesota. Floyd was long considered to be a strong Notre Dame lean, but the Buckeyes have recently pulled into a tie with the Domers. Update 03/30 - Nothing new to report here - Floyd is still very interested in Notre Dame and Ohio State, but he will check out several other schools (Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, and Florida to name a few) before deciding.
2. Kenny Tate, Hyattsville (Maryland) Dematha (6' 4", 210 lbs, 4.4 forty); Ohio State (offered) in the mix. While Tate hasn't posted outstanding statistics in high school (362 yards rushing, 365 yards receiving, 10 total TD's as a junior), he has the "off the charts" measurables that all college coaches are looking for. Ohio State is thought to be Kenny's early leader, but many other programs are in hot pursuit, including Florida (offered), Maryland (offered), Illinois (offered), Notre Dame, and Penn State. A reported 2.5 GPA may be some cause for concern. Update 03/30 - Kenny's offer list looks like a Who's Who of college football. Expect one of the "glamour" programs (USC, Florida, Texas, Notre Dame, etc.) to get a commitment from Tate, probably late in the process. Illinois has done well in the DC area in recent years, so the Illini might be a dark horse in this race.
4. Dan McCarthy, Youngstown Cardinal Mooney (6' 1", 190 lbs, 4.5 forty); Ohio State (offered) and Notre Dame (offered) lead. McCarthy is one of the many stars on a Cardinal Mooney team that won the Division 4 state championship last season, and is set to make another title run in 2007. Dan is a versatile athlete who plays quarterback on offense and safety on defense (his probable position in college). McCarthy's older brother, Kyle, plays football for Notre Dame, and if the Domers offer, look for him to follow his brother to South Bend; if not, then Ohio State would be his likely destination. Update 03/30 - Even though Notre Dame has now offered, Ohio State still seems to be the slight leader here. The fact that McCarthy's recruitment is still at issue says something about the respective states of affairs in Columbus and South Bend.
5. Cordale Scott, Cleveland Glenville (6' 5", 181 lbs, 4.46 forty); Ohio State (offered) leads. Scott is yet another in the long line of athletes who will matriculate to a Division I program from Glenville High. Cordale has excellent size for a wide receiver, and he should be a featured member of the Tarblooders' offense. Like most Glenville kids, Scott currently favors Ohio State; if the Buckeyes don't offer, then Cordale will have several other options, including Wisconsin, Bowling Green, and Akron (all offered). Update 03/30 - The Buckeyes have now offered, and everyone assumes (with reason) that Cordale will follow the Glenville pipeline to Columbus. That being said, don't expect an early commitment, as Coach Ginn requests that his players announce late in the process.
7. Richard Watson, Tallahassee FAMU High (6' 1", 225 lbs, 4.5 forty); Ohio State (offered) in mix. As a junior, Watson rushed for over 2,100 yards and 34 touchdowns for a playoff team. Although Ohio State is Richard's current leader, the Buckeyes were the only major program to extend him an early offer, and things could change drastically as more teams become involved in his recruitment. Other schools of interest include several southern powers such Alabama (offered), Florida State, Florida, Miami, LSU, and Georgia. Watson could be the ideal "big back" to replace Chris Wells down the road. Update 03/30 - With Ohio State gaining a verbal commitment from Devoe Torrence, it is unlikely that Buckeyes will continue to pursue other running back prospects such as Watson. Look for Richard to stay somewhere in the South.
8. Lamaar Thomas, Fort Washington (Maryland) Friendly (5' 10", 166 lbs, 4.36 forty); Ohio State (offered) in top 4 (Illinois, Maryland, Boston College, all offered). Thomas is a versatile athlete who could play running back, wide receiver, or defensive back at the college level. As a junior, Lamaar accounted for 800 yards from scrimmage, scored 14 touchdowns (7 rushing, 5 receiving, 2 on kick-off returns), and made two interceptions. Thomas claims written offers from his four favorites, and he plans to make an unofficial visit Ohio State some time this summer.
9. Johnny Adams, Akron Buchtel (5' 11", 157 lbs, 4.37 forty); Ohio State (not offered) leads Akron (offered). As a sophomore, Adams racked up twelve touchdowns, a rather modest number until you learn that not a single one was on offense! Johnny scored nine times on punt returns, twice on kick-offs, and even took an interception to the house. Last season, Adams scored another 17 times (11 receiving, 2 interception returns, 2 punt returns, 1 kick-off return, 1 fumble recovery). Johnny is a tremendous athlete who is rapidly developing as a football player - he will attend Ohio State's camp this summer, and should be a serious candidate to earn a Buckeye offer, possibly as a cornerback. Update 03/30 - If Adams gets an Ohio State offer, it will be as a cornerback, as the wide receiver slots are already full. Johnny will have the opportunity to prove that he is a "lock down" corner during the Buckeyes' summer camp. At the recent Rivals combine, Johnny measured 5' 11" and only 157 pounds, which could be a concern, especially for a player who had injury/durability issues last season.
10. Isaiah Pead, Columbus Eastmoor (5' 11", 184 lbs, 4.41 forty, 38" vertical); Ohio State (not offered) leads Penn State (not offered) and Cincinnati (offered). Around Columbus, Pead is known as "Baby Bush" (as in Reggie, not George), which should tell you something about his athletic ability; as one of the top running backs to come out of Columbus in recent years, he has also been compared to Archie Griffin, who graduated from Eastmoor as part of the class of 1972. During his junior season, Isaiah had over 2,000 yards from scrimmage and scored 29 total touchdowns; despite all of that success on the offensive side of the ball, the Bucks are recruiting him as a cornerback. Pead loves Ohio State (he attended all of the Buckeyes' home games last year), but he is also very interested in Penn State. Update 03/30 - With the Torrence commitment, the Buckeyes have already filled their need at running back, but Pead could still get a look at cornerback.
11. Brandon Green, Chicago Robeson (6' 1", 190 lbs, 4.5 forty); Ohio State (not offered) leads Illinois (offered) and Notre Dame (not offered). Green has already been touted as one of the top wide receiver prospects in the midwest. Last season, Brandon caught 49 passes for 874 yards and 18 touchdowns; while on defense, he made 8 interceptions (returning 3 for TD's) and also returned two punts for scores. Green was a fan of the Buckeyes growing up, and he calls Ohio State his "dream school". If the Bucks end up offering, then Brandon could be headed to Columbus. Update 03/30 - Still no offer from Ohio State, and the Buckeyes will likely be satisfied with a receiver class of DeVier Posey, Jake Stoneburner, and Cordale Scott, with Mike Floyd being an outside possibility.
12. DeAndre Preaster, Utica (New York) Proctor (6' 4", 205 lbs, 4.55 forty); Ohio State (not offered) in top 3 (Pitt, Syracuse, neither offered). Preaster is a playmaker who is a threat to score any time he touches the ball, whether receiving (33 receptions, 640 yards, 6 TD's), rushing (19 rushes, 206 yards), on defense (3 INT's, 96-yard fumble recovery for TD), or returning kicks (17 returns, 347 yards, 1 TD). In addition to his success on the gridiron, DeAndre is also an All-State performer in basketball. Preaster attends the same high school as Buckeye legend Will Smith (Proctor class of 2000), and Ohio State is in his early top three. Update 03/30 - Preaster calls Ohio State his "dream school", but with so many other wide receivers already in the fold, it is unlikely that the Buckeyes will jump into the mix. DeAndre has recently received an offer from Syracuse.
13. Jamal Womble, Sierra Vista (Arizona) Buena (5' 11", 215 lbs, 4.47 forty); Ohio State (not offered) in the mix. Womble has an excellent combination of size and speed, and last season, he rushed for over 1,200 yards and scored 14 touchdowns. While he admits to being a fan of the Buckeyes, Jamal is looking at a host schools from across the country, including North Carolina, Clemson, Florida, Georgia Tech (offered), Notre Dame, Colorado, and UCLA. Jamal could be a prospect who emerges during the summer camp circuit. Update 03/30 - Jamal recently picked up an offer from Oregon State; the other OSU hasn't shown any interest to date, and likely will not in the future.
Big Speed
1. Terrelle Pryor, Jeannette, Pennsylvania (6' 6", 220 lbs, 4.4 forty); Ohio State (offered) in top 5 (Pitt, Penn State, Michigan, Notre Dame, all offered). Pryor is one of the top recruits in the country, regardless of position. As the quarterback for his high school squad, Terrelle completed 92 of 163 attempts (56.4%) for 1,732 yards and 15 touchdowns, and rushed 197 times for 1,676 yards (8.7 average) and 28 touchdowns; he also had a TD receiving. Although he is already being compared to Vince Young, Pryor is one of the nation's top basketball recruits (he originally committed to Pitt for basketball), and he is the rare athlete who might get a chance to play both sports in college. Location will definitely be a factor in Terrelle's recruitment, as he does not want to be more than a six-hour drive from home. Ohio State is currently in good shape here, but it is a long way till Signing Day. Update 03/30 - Not much new here - Ohio State is still near the top of Pryor's list, with Penn State, Pitt and others also in hot pursuit.
4. Andrew Sweat, Washington (Pennsylvania) Trinity (6' 2", 225 lbs, 4.55 forty); Ohio State (offered) in top 6 (Notre Dame, Michigan, Pitt, Penn State, Wisconsin, all offered). After posting 165 tackles, 13 TFL's, 4 sacks, and 2 interceptions as a junior, Sweat quickly gained notoriety on the recruiting scene. Although Andrew's father played football for Syracuse, the Orange currently trail Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, and Pitt, each of whom is seriously pursuing this first team All State selection. Sweat attends the same high school as current Buckeye tight end Andy Miller, and that connection should help Ohio State's chances. Update 03/30 - Ohio State leads, although Florida has recently made a strong push.
6. Shayne Hale, Pittsburgh Gateway (6' 4", 218 lbs, 4.5 forty); Ohio State (offered) in the mix (Michigan, Penn State, Pitt, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, all offered). Hale is on track to be one of the top linebacker prospects in the 2008 recruiting class; as a junior, he was named first team All State after recording 105 tackles, 13 TFL's, 5 sacks, and 4 forced fumbles while playing against premier competition. Shayne admits to being a fan of the Buckeyes, but Gateway's coach Terry Smith played at Penn State, and former Gateway star Justin King (who happens to be Coach Smith's step-son) is currently playing for Penn State, and those connections should keep the Nittany Lions near the forefront. Update 03/30 - Ohio State currently leads, but several other major programs (Penn State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Tennessee, etc.) are still in the hunt. This recruiting battle probably won't be decided for a while.
7. Michael Zordich, Youngstown Cardinal Mooney (6' 2", 220 lbs, 4.7 forty); Ohio State (offered) in the mix (Penn State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Iowa, Pitt). Michael's father (also named Michael) played safety for Penn State (graduated in 1986) and in the NFL (12 seasons). The younger Zordich currently plays linebacker and fullback for Cardinal Mooney, whose state championship also has top prospects Brandon Beachum and Dan McCarthy. Michael is a "throw back" player who always gives maximum effort, plays with the right attitude, and delivers lights out hits. Obviously, Michael has strong ties to Penn State (in addition, his mother was a cheerleader there), but Notre Dame, Ohio State, and a few other local schools should get a serious look. Update 03/30 - Despite the Penn State connections, many insiders feel that Ohio State is the team to beat.
8. Christian Wilson, McKees Rock (Pennsylvania) Montour (6' 3", 235 lbs, 4.65 forty); Ohio State (offered) in the mix (Pitt, Michigan, Louisville, Virginia, Virginia Tech, offered; Notre Dame). Although Wilson plays running back for his high school team (920 yards, 15 TD's last season), he projects as a middle linebacker in college (73 tackles, 3 TFL's, 3 INT's). Ohio State has not yet offered, but the Buckeye staff is very interested, and an offer could materialize in the near future. Wilson is close friends with fellow Keystone linebacker Shayne Hale, and there has been some talk that the two players would like to attend the same college Update 03/30 - Ohio State has now apparently offered, and the Bucks are near the top of Wilson's (long) list of favorites. Still too early to call a leader, but we wouldn't put any vCash on Ohio State.
9. Brandon Moore, Trotwood Madison (6' 6", 220 lbs, 4.6 forty); Ohio State (not offered) in the mix (Georgia, offered; several others). Moore is an excellent athlete with good body control, fine hands, and rare fluidity for a big man, but he also enjoys blocking, which of course is a benefit for a tight end. Besides excelling on the gridiron (19 receptions, 286 yards, 1 touchdown last season), Brandon is also a top student who sports a 4.1 grade point average. Although Georgia, Clemson, LSU, Oklahoma, and Stanford are in the mix with early offers, Moore is an Ohio State fan from a Buckeye-friendly program, and the Buckeyes should be in good shape if the staff decides to extend an offer; if not, then the Bulldogs will be tough to beat. Update 03/30 - Still no Buckeye offer. Now that Kyle Rudolph has committed to Notre Dame, Ohio State might start looking at Moore more seriously.
10. Jon Major, Parker (Colordao) Ponderosa (6' 4", 220 lbs, 4.58 forty); Ohio State (not offered) in the mix. Major is an explosive athlete with extreme versatility, a sound football IQ, polished technique, and a nastiness that you just can't coach; he reminds us a bit of Bobby Carpenter (without the Viking hair, of course). In just seven games last season, Jon racked up some truly impressive numbers: 107 tackles, 16 TFL's, 4 fumble recoveries, 3 forced fumbles, 6 passes broken up, and an interception. Although Major does not have a Buckeye offer yet, he made an unofficial visit to Columbus for The Game, and Ohio State remains at the top of his list along with Colorado, Michigan, Illinois, Washington, Wisconsin (all offered), and Notre Dame. Keep an eye on this kid. Update 03/30 - Although Major has nearly 30 offers from around the country, Ohio State has shown little interest.
11. Brandon Beachum, Youngstown Cardinal Mooney (6' 1", 209 lbs, 4.65 forty); Ohio State (not offered) leads. Beachum is a versatile athlete who could play running back or linebacker at the next level. However, there are some questions about Brandon's speed (he posted a 4.87 forty time at a recent combine), as well as his ability to deliver the big hit on defense. Beachum favors Ohio State, and if the Buckeyes offer, then Brandon could be the first Youngstown signee since Louis Irizarry in the class of 2003; if not, then several other schools will be in the mix, including Pitt, Nebraska, and Oklahoma (all offered). Update 03/30 - Ohio State has still not offered.
12. Justin Staples, Lakewood St. Edwards (6' 3", 210 lbs, 4.65 forty); Ohio State (not offered) leads Michigan (not offered). Staples is a versatile athlete who primarily plays outside linebacker in high school, but who also has the potential to be a wide receiver, tight end, or defensive end at the next level. As a junior, Justin was a mainstay of the Eagles' defense, as he recorded 59 tackles and 4 sacks. Early indications are that Staples favors Ohio State, but he will also check out Michigan, Notre Dame, Pitt, North Carolina, Virginia, and a few other schools. Update 03/30 - Although Staples might still earn an offer from Ohio State, the Buckeyes are currently pursuing other options at linebacker (Sweat, Hale, Zordich).
13. Douglass Rippy, Columbus Linden McKinley (6' 3", 225 lbs); Ohio State (not offered) in top 7 (Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Duke, UConn, Boston College, none offered). Rippy emerged as a serious prospect at last January's Army All-American combine in San Antonio, where he was named to the All Combine team. As a junior, Douglass recorded 148 tackles and 9 sacks, but he did not receive much attention because his team went winless on the season. After his strong showing in San Antonio, Rippy has "recruiting momentum", and with a solid camp season, the offers should start to roll in. Update 03/30 - Nothing new to report.
Power
2. Michael Brewster, Orlando Edgewater (6' 6", 305 lbs, 4.63 shuttle); Ohio State (offered) leads Florida (offered). Brewster is one of the top offensive line prospects in the entire country (he projects as an interior lineman in college), and he plays for one of Florida's top high school programs. Currently, Ohio State leads for this "five star" recruit who made unofficial visits to Columbus last season for games against Penn State and Michigan. Brewster and Mike Adams (who are reputed to be close friends) could be the cornerstones for a phenomenal Buckeye recruiting class in 2008. The University of Florida is currently making a huge push, and the Gators should be considered legitimate competition for this Sunshine State superstar. Update 03/30 - Brewster still favors Ohio State, but he might want to take some official visits to other programs (LSU, Florida, Alabama, USC) before making his decision final.
3. Kyle Long, Charlottesville (Virginia) St. Anne's-Bellfield (6' 7", 280 lbs); Ohio State (offered) in the mix. Kyle Long is the son of former Raider great and NFL Hall-of-Famer Howie Long. Although Kyle lives in Charlottesville and his older brother plays for Al Groh at the University of Virginia, it has long been rumored that Ohio State is one of his favorite programs, and that his father (who knows a thing or two about football) shares that opinion. Kyle will be one of the most heavily-recruited prospects in the country regardless of position, but nevertheless the Buckeyes have a very good chance to sign this OOS blue chipper. Update 03/30 - Ohio State currently leads, and the Buckeyes' most serious competition might be major league baseball (Kyle is also a left-handed pitcher with a decent fastball).
4. J.B. Shugarts, Klein, Texas (6' 7", 299 lbs, 4.69 shuttle); Ohio State (offered) in top 4 (Oklahoma, Florida, Michigan, all offered). Shugarts is yet another "blue chip" offensive line prospect who is seriously interested in Ohio State. J.B. attends the same high school as former Buckeye cornerback Ashton Youboty and current Michigan OL Mark Ortmann, and both Big Ten powerhouses are finalists for this top Lone Star recruit. However, other major programs like Florida and Oklahoma are in hot pursuit and will be in the running until the end. Update 03/30 - Ohio State is still near the top of Shugart's list, along with Oklahoma, LSU, Florida, and a few other schools. J.B. is scheduled to visit Columbus for the Buckeyes' Spring Game, and that experience could seal the deal for Ohio State.
5. Josh Jenkins, Parkersburg (West Virginia) Vienna (6' 3", 282 lbs, 4.62 shuttle); Ohio State (offered) trails West Virginia (soft verbal). Jenkins, a two-way lineman, is clearly the top player in the state of West Virginia, and one of the most highly-ranked prospects nationally. Although Josh will likely play on the offensive line in college, he has posted some impressive numbers on defense: 82 tackles, 10 TFL's, and 4 sacks, which earned him All-State honors as a sophomore. Jenkins made an early commitment to the home state school, but due to some coaching changes, he has recently re-opened his recruitment; since then, many major programs (including Ohio State) have been quick to send offers. While West Virginia should still be considered the favorite, Ohio State cannot be counted out just yet. Update 03/30 - Not much new to report - Jenkins should be considered a "soft verbal" to West Virginia with legitimate interest in Ohio State. Despite the early verbal to WVU, don't count Josh out of the "Block O" just yet.
6. Garrett Goebel, Lombard (Illinois) Montini Catholic (6' 5", 270 lbs); Ohio State (offered) in the mix (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Purdue, all offered). Like 2006 Buckeye signee Dexter Larimore, Goebel is a both a top-notch defensive tackle and a state-champion wrestler. Although Garrett would be a college star in either sport, he plans to play football exclusively at the next level. Ohio State has shown a lot of early interest, which has been reciprocated by Goebel. Garrett will make an unofficial visit to Ohio State this weekend, and if all goes well, we have a feeling that he will leave Columbus with the Buckeyes as his clear leader.
7. Willie Mobley, Eden Prairie, Minnesota (6' 2", 264 lbs); Ohio State (offered) in top 4 (Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, all offered). Mobley, a defensive tackle prospect, is a relatively new offeree who is starting to generate a lot of interest amongst the top programs in the midwest. Last season, Willie led his team to a 14-0 record and a Class 5A state championship. The Golden Gophers will put on a full court press to keep Mobley at home, but the top prospects from Minnesota often end up leaving the state (there are many examples, including James Laurinaitis, who signed with Ohio State in 2005). Update 03/30 - The Buckeyes are still near the top of Mobley's list, and he is scheduled to visit Ohio State for the Spring Game.
8. Lucas Nix, Pittsburgh Thomas Jefferson (6' 6", 285 lbs); Ohio State (offered) trails Pitt (offered). Nix is another "power" prospect who recently received an offer from Ohio State. In high school, Lucas plays on both sides of the line, and he is being recruited as both an offensive tackle and defensive tackle (last season, he was a first team All State selection as a DL). Nix's older brother, Nate, a linebacker, signed with Pitt as part of their 2006 recruiting class, and the home town Panthers will be tough to beat. Update 03/30 - Expect an early decision for the hometown Panthers.
9. Gregory Shaw, Miami Pace (6' 6", 285 lbs); Ohio State (not offered) in the mix. Shaw is yet another top national offensive line prospect (Rivals All American, 91 "pancakes" as a junior) who is very interested in Ohio State. However, the Buckeyes have not yet offered Greg, and the staff may not consider doing so until they get the final word from "Block O" candidates Brewster, Long, Shugarts, and Jenkins. Shaw's favorites include Florida, Florida State, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, and Louisville (all offered), with Ohio State consistently being named as a school of interest despite the lack of an offer. Greg is scheduled to visit Ohio State for summer camp in June. Shaw is the half-brother of former high school sensation Willie Williams (a linebacker formerly of Miami, now with Lousiville), and the Cardinals may have an inside track based on that family connection.
10. Nathan Williams, Washington Court House Miami Trace (6' 5", 245 lbs, 4.67 forty); Ohio State (not offered) in top 4 (Michigan, Penn State, Notre Dame, none offered). Williams is currently a running back and inside linebacker for Miami Trace, but he will certainly outgrow those positions at the next level; most colleges are already recruiting Nathan as a defensive end. Although Williams spent some time in California, he is originally from Ohio and he returned to the Buckeye State prior to his sophomore season. Nate quickly established himself as one of the top players in Ohio by being selected to the All-State team in 2005, a recognition which he repeated after the 2006 season in which he recorded 149 tackles including 24 for losses. Despite spending some time on the Left Coast, Nathan is considering primarily at Midwestern schools, although Southern Cal might also get a look. Update 03/30 - Williams does not have an Ohio State offer, but could earn one at summer camp if he can prove that he is not a "tweener". Some think that Nathan might have the frame to grow into a defensive tackle, where his 4.67 speed would be quite an asset.
11. Shawntel "Shaq" Rowell, Cleveland Glenville (6' 5", 340 lbs); Ohio State (not offered) in the mix (Illinois, Miami of Ohio, both offered; others). Rowell is a two-way lineman for the Tarblooders; however, with the wealth of top-flight o-linemen who are strongly considering Ohio State, Shawntel is being recruited by the Buckeyes strictly as a defensive tackle. While Rowell clearly has the size for the position, it remains to be seen whether he has enough athleticism and "motor" to satisfy the Buckeye staff. Rowell attended the recent Army All American combine in San Antonio, and he was described as "unblockable" in the one-on-one drills against some of the top offensive linemen in the country; although that performance didn't generate much immediate interest, Shaq will have the chance to showcase his abilities on the Ginn Bus Tour this summer. Shawntel's "big" brother, Chris (a 6-foot, 180-pound defensive back), currently plays for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Update 03/30 - There are still questions about Shaq's weight, conditioning, and motor, and academics might also be an issue. Rowell probably needs to get a lot of ducks in a row (summer camp, senior season, weight room, classroom, test scores) before the Buckeyes will offer.
12. Zebrie Sanders, Clayton Northmont (6' 5", 275 lbs); Ohio State (not offered) in the mix. In any normal year, Sanders would be one of Ohio State's top o-line targets, but 2008 isn't any normal year, and Zebrie is no better than sixth on the wish list behind Adams, Brewster, Long, Shugarts, Jenkins, and possibly Nix (who is primarily being recruited as a defensive tackle). Nevertheless, Zebrie is a quality player who could eventually earn an offer from the Buckeyes if some of the other OL prospects go elsewhere. Sanders attends the same high school as current Buckeye DB Kurt Coleman, and it is no secret that he would like to follow his former teammate to Columbus. But, with no offer at this early date, Zebrie is also looking mostly at Michigan, Northwestern, Duke, Georgia, Miami, and Clemson (all offered). Update 03/30 - No Buckeye offer yet - if Brewster, Long, Shugarts and/or Jenkins join Adams in the "Block O", then there probably won't be any room left for Sanders.
