With the recent happenings with Bowman (PSU) and Lenix (UC), and the uncertainly regarding Johnson and Gibson, we really need to land Colin...at least in my opinion

I, for one, will be very surprised if McCarthy doesn't end up a Buckeye with what has been happening with our other 4 prospects (Bowman and Lenix to other schools; "grade issues" with Johnson and Gibson) and the depth at LB that Miami has. AT THE LEAST, McCarthy is ours to lose at this point.

As it stands right now, your thoughts would be correct barring a huge play an in-state school.

I question the wisdom of McCarthy delaying his decision (or perhaps I should say the public announcement of the decision) until after the all star game. IIRC he is through with his visits and has plenty of time to mull it over prior to that game. If I were his dad, I would encourage him to make an announcement prior to the game to "lock in" the school of choice. There is always the chance of an injury and while a school wouldn't be legally bound by a verbal, most of the big time schools will honor the offer and verbal even if a kid gets injured.

On the other hand, maybe if he waits until after the game, people will stop saying Tressel can't close on OOS kids.

In regards to the Cali-Florida Bowl. I see tha above post and link that shows the game being played in Fla. on January 14th, but could there be another? McCarthy's update quotes him,"I'm going to California for the All-Star game." Then on TheInsiders.com Hot West Board a poster says,"the Cali-Florida Bowl to be held (at) Cal-State Fullerton on Dec. 31st. The game will be broadcast live on Fox Sports Net."

It looks to me like the 12/31 date in California is the correct one. I found this blurb using Google:

"The CaliFlorida Bowl will be Dec. 31 at Cal State Fullerton at 3 p.m. Mater Dei's Bruce Rollinson will coach the California squad against the team from Florida. Servite coach Troy Thomas will be among the assistants. The county players in the game are Chane Moline of Mission Viejo (UCLA), Parsons (USC), Romney Fuga of Edison, Ben Terry of Capistrano Valley, Joey Tavarez of Mater Dei and Ryan Hurtado of Mater Dei. The team will practice at Cal State Fullerton starting Dec. 26. Colton's Allen Bradford, regarded as the top recruit in the state, leads the California squad."
