Osu Says No To Collins!!

I take what i said about JG back.. i want him now more than ever, maybe we already have JG & Wells???


Here is from Daune Long today..

Conredge was dropped by FSU so he decided to commit to Ohio State...Snyder told him they were only taking two backs and they were confident they landed the two they wanted.

I'm not going to try to read into this too much, but it sounds like we are in very good shape at the RB position.

Yep, I agree. Now just about 4 weeks where we hopefully (a) "close the deal" on who we think we have and (b) make sure we keep them. :)

NOTE: This isn't a gloom-and-doom post. Just a note that all teams (OSU included) have had players change their minds at the 11th hour.

Guys, let's get back to the topic at hand. I think Snyder's comment that "we (OSU) should be getting what we need," speaks to Maurice Wells being "in" and the staff feeling they have "a fighting shot" at Gwaltney. If Jason goes elsewhere staff turns all eyes to Chris Wells ('06). With Grady coming in, Michigan is going to have its 1-2 punch solidified with he and Hart. The depth chart is a lot friendlier at OSU. I don't think OSU is taking a chance on a guy like Collins who may have academic issues and thereby push C. Wells to Michigan. I expect to land Maurice Wells but not Jason Gwaltney.

johnathan stewart

why did tressel and gang wait so long to call this kid, and why didnt we go after him hard and heavy as our 'big' back prospect.. his tapes are amazing.

i have known about stewart for a long time a s a top big back, but why did we wait until December to contact him?

is there some reason we never really went after thim? i thought i saw JS said he would be interested in looking east back in the fall...

Mr. Stewart already has his own thread on here, but you can bet that grades are a factor. Plus I think the staff realized that realistically, their chances of convincing him to come and getting him admitted didn't warrant the effort it would take to recruit him too heavily.

It's gotta be Lenix, if it's somebody already committed. For one, Russell said the staff was recruiting him as a safety. Two, Russell has been committed for quite some time, and apparently, so has Wells. If this is true, why would they keep recruiting Collins and Gwaltney? If it is Lenix, then I guess Gwaltney is too good to pass up on the chance we get him, but my guess is they're feeling good on Gwaltney. Freddie did say he was being recruited as a S or RB, but I can't imagine that they'd turn down a verbal from Collins just because they had Freddie, as he looks to be much more natural on D.

I honestly think that Gwaltney gave them some good news after the WV visit. I dunno. Why else would they still be recruiting him if they were happy with Lenix and Wells?

Ohio State is only recruiting Lenix as a fall-back you have to think, in case they don't land other HS backs. Look at the films, Lenix is a dominate defensive player who bared played RB in HS. I don't think the staff say no to Collins at RB with the addition of Lenix.

Collins isn't even fully qualified yet. I'm sure it mostly has to do with that. Many schools will recruit a player that appears to be close to qualifying until the point is reached where you still aren't sure about it so the schollie gets withdrawn.
