you miss a very important issue with this recruit. He is from Texas and Osu has been trying to get a foot in Texas for years. With Shugarts and now this kid, Tressel has created relationships with some of the high school coaches. Just like years ago, Tressel wanted to recruit Pennsylvania so he offered Jon Skinner, Mitchum, and signed a few other lesser known recruits and pop, the floodgates opened. Smart move for this staff. You have to get rid of the tunnel vision of star ratings and look down the road.

Green committed way back in June. The new date corresponds with Rivals and Scout listing him as a soft verbal because he was taking visits to places like Clemson before confirming that he would stay committed to the Buckeyes.

One small correction, I believe Justin Green committed since Berry…Rivals has his commit date as 1-1-09.

Vico,
Nice write-up, this seems to be pretty good stuff landing this young man. Yep, it seems he may have a few things to work on, but as I remember, our most recent Heisman Trophy winner came in recruited as an ‘Ath’, so who the hell knows? Give the youngen’ a year to run scout squad while TP and JB do their thing; it might all work out.

Woo hoo… look forward to your “know a buckeye” article on him; he’s clearly “under the radar” but we’ve gotten great things out of three star recruits before… glad we have another QB; important to have some depth. O-H
