Like you, I'm a Buckeye diaspora living elsewhere, except my place of residence is in the Buckeye safehaven of Alabama. If only it were a safehaven. Big reason Gabby and I do this is to to find some kind of place to vent, good to hear there are others out there that know we all wanna go back, we all gotta go back, to O-HI-O. Dave, curious, what are your HS allegiances in the state of Ohio? I'm from out of state, but I'm adopted Reynoldsburg fan because my good college friend took me to a few games, and, well, I enjoyed the experience so I wish them well. Same conference (and division) as Coffman. I remember going to one of their games in 2002 or 2003 and watching Reynoldsburg run all over one of the Dublin schools, and in their home turf too. I can't remember which of the Dublins it is, but probably Scioto. Coffman had Quinn back then, and I think I would've remembered that. Go Raiders! Heh, thanks for the well wishes.

As an Ohioan living in the high school / college football backwaters of western New York (no offense to UB's Turner Gill) I enjoy reading tOSU blogs. Although a Fighting Muskie (Muskingum College '73), OSU sports are 'the connection' to back home. In fact my son (mid-20's and living in Vegas, good God!) has grown up as a faithful Buckeye fan. Ah, the seed doesn't drop far from the tree... Again, I appreciate the efforts of you OSU bloggers specifically, and B-10 ones in general. Thanks. Vico,

I hope Stoney pans out the way he should, it'll be nice to have a WR/TE (come on, they've got to give him a look on the line) with his build. And, while my allegiances lie elsewhere, it'll be interesting to see if Coffman starts getting mentioned in the same breath as Colerain, Glenville, Massilion, etc. when it comes to Ohio recruiting. I think all it'll take is for Adams and Stoney to breakout around the same time, toss in the Quinn connection... Great reports, boys.

With the height and hands he's got, he looks ready for prime-time right now. His speed against secondaries was very impressive.

He's a good-sized kid with a nice arm, but I don't think he was what OSU was looking for. Also, one year of starting experience (Zak Kristan was their 2006 QB, I think) meant limited observation of Stoudt. The sky is the limit, but he really had no chance of getting an offer from the Bucks. Stoudt would eventually commit to Pitt to follow his father Cliff (the one who replaced Bradshaw with the Steelers), before decommiting after noticing the Fightin' Wannies had 2 other QBs with 3-stars with solid verbals to Pitt. He signed his LOI with the Cardinals. From that Dublin team, why Trey Fairchild didn't get a harder look from the Buckeyes is something I don't know. 4.3 speed (and that's not a misprint), 3.7 GPA, and really hard to pinpoint and tackle. If I had to guess: Fairchild wants to play slot at college, OSU was looking at him as a DB because of the receiver talent coming in. Outside of that, I don't know. Thomas is a better player coming in for what Fairchild did at Coffman, but still. given Pryor being in this class and being top priority and Ross Oltorick (Moeller HS) finagling a position as a walk-on with a baseball scholarship, I don’t think Stoudt stood much of a chance.

So what's the story on Coffman's quarterback? Looked to me that he had a couple nice tosses. Nice article, thanks. So what’s the story on Coffman’s quarterback?
