'06 CA WR David Ausberry (USC signee)

[OSU Rob]

he's a USC-commit but he has yet to see OSU (his childhood favorite), so if wstripes says he's still solid w/ them after he visits us, then we can forget about it.

Man, Michigan is in on everybody this year.

Wide receiver David Ausberry

The GoBlueWolverine.com brings scouting reports and interviews with two more of GBW's Top Three Stanford Nike Combine performers -- running back DeMarco Murray of Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Nev., and wide receiver/tight end Davin Ausberry of Lemoore, Calif., High School.

Ausberry may have been the most physically impressive prospect there. He ran a 4.6 forty and had a 32 inch vertical jump. Michigan site thinks he will be a tight end in college. He says USC leads but is interested in Michigan.

From the USC site...the match-up between Ausberry and Taylor Mays at the Stanford NIKE camp was highly anticipated and these two did not disappoint. Ausberry shows both great fundamentals and solid athleticism. Both ahve USC high on their lists.

As I mentioned in the Film Study: 101 blog, Ausberry reminds me a lot of Patrick Turner, and I could see him being ranked in the top 3 at WR by NLOID.

David Ausberry is starting to emerge as one of the top wide receiver prospects on the west coast. The 6-4, 215-pound prospect from Lemoore high school (Lemoore, Calif.) dominated defenders at a recent combine in northern California. With a world of talent, this standout is receiving attention from all the top programs from across the country.

From ND site....Ausberry lists 13 offers at this point. Notre Dame was in recently to visit. He says he has high interest in ND. Michigan, Ohio State, California, USC, Ole Miss, Fresno State, UNLV, Nevada, Georgia, Nebraska, ASU, Arizona, and Washington State have all offered.

David is well-spoken and seems like a great kid from the scout interview.

Another tradtional USC-tOSU recruiting battle for a premier WR I see.


Hopefully this one goes better for us... :)

David will take all of his visits and will save one for Nebraska. He claims Nebraska, USC, Michigan, Georgia, and Ohio State as his Top 5 with no favorite.

OK Luke, lay all of our cards on the table---get him here for the Texas game, then let USC try to match that atmosphere...

I couldn't agree more bobcat. Although I imagine we'll try to get as many kids on their officials that weekend as possible. The one negative thing about the Texas game as far as giving out officials goes is that it is SO early in the process. This is a double-edged sword as sometimes getting in there from the get-go can get a kid thinking about your school, but then having visited so early, will they forget how great the visit was in late November or January even?

That said, I would LOVE to get Ausberry. I don't see us targeting a lot of WRs at this stage of the game, but he would surely be a top notch get. I'd take Ausberry and one more WR of the staff's choice and be happy to call it a WR class.

the liklihood of ausberry coming to osu over usc is the same as ray small going to usc over osu.
