Bryce Brown’s brother committed to Miami (FL), so it looks like he is favoring them.

As far as I know, Ohio State isn’t pursuing him, and there seems to be a question regarding the status of his offer (Bucknuts still says he has one, Buckeye Planet now says he doesn’t). Apparently he was really interested following the decommit from You-CLA, and his HS coach admitted following the Torrence saga with some interest. As of now, he has no offer or, if he has an offer (as Bucknuts says he does), there’s no mutual interest. Of course, a lot of this is pre-Torrence’s withdrawal, but still nothing suggests a lean to OSU.

Of course, understanding what little I know about the Wide World of Recruiting, if his coach and Dean himself make an impassioned plea to Tressel, I can’t imagine Tressel saying no. As of now, it looks like the Bucks are getting in line to put the full court press on Bryce Brown.

That said, I haven’t the foggiest idea where he ends up.

I know, I was just playing along.

Has anybody heard any news on the Buckeyes chances of getting Aundre Dean?

I know this link says he is committed to UCLA, but most analysts say that he has decommitted.

heh, we’re not from Britain, we just spell things British-ly (Gabby and I that is, Max is an American — a great one at that — and spells like one). British spellings just kind of stuck with us growing up for one reason or the other.

I had to check my globe, but apparently it is not. We, however, are.

At least I think that’s the case.

I forgot about having Lamar Thomas coming next year, he looked good in the Army allstar game.

Well it really doesn’t matter if he’s here or not. They have Beanie, Saine, and BOOM Herron that redshirted last year so Torrence was a luxury pick, they just have to pick up a HB in next years class or another 3 star this year. There were some guys on Rivals that were interested but tOSU haven’t offered yet maybe they will get one of them. Mark D’antonio should thank Tressel he will swoop in and get another troubled Ohio RB.
