'06 MN DT Walker Ashley (Minny...no, maybe USC......no, PSU...no, Minnesota commit)

I read the newspaper piece and I would say it's correct.Print papers have more credibity.This is no surprise to me and it shouldn't be to others who have followed this closely.The newspaper articles about Rico McCoy,and JG were both right,and this will be too.The coaching staff gave it their best shot and nobody should doubt that.

This doesnt really surprise me after Ukofia went to Stanford. If you look at our depth chart DT [I know he wants to be a DE but no way], we are stacked. He could have been this years Darrion Scott though, playing both inside and outside.


Oh well, good luck to him.

Good luck Mr. Ashley wish you would have selected us but good luck anyways. After years of watching recruiting you JUST DON'T get everyone you want no matter who you are. So I am totally happy with Williams, Denlinger, Worthington, and hopefully Wilson!!!

I will be interested to see whether he ends up on the O-line or not...PC must have quelled the rumors that SC intended to move Walker to OT somehow, so let's see if he is a man of his word.

I can't wait for the USC dynasty to crumble already. I knew after last season they had a dynasty setup for years to come. Right now they basically are picking who they want to play for them. They picked up the top players in every position they recruited. Atleast USC lost on the Gwantley and Wells sweepstakes.

OSU FOOTBALL
Update: Defensive lineman picks USC over OSU
Wednesday, February 2, 2005

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
While at least 10 players who had committed to Ohio State already had signed their national letters of intent this morning, one prospect the Buckeyes were still seeking — defensive lineman Walker Ashley — opted to go with Southern Cal.

Mary Traynham, a secretary in the activities center of Eden Prairie (Minn.) High School, said that Ashley announced he is going to go with the defending national champion Trojans, then signed on the dotted line. He also had considered OSU, Minnesota and Penn State in the final days.

Thus OSU fans' attention now will turn to defensive lineman Lawrence Wilson of Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary. He is expected to announce his college choice — OSU, Notre Dame or Florida at about 3:40 p.m. EST on ESPN News.

He is the last remaining prospect on the bubble for the Buckeyes, who were left hanging by running back Jason Gwaltney of North Babylon, N.Y., on Tuesday afternoon. He chose West Virginia, to whom he has issued a commitment in the spring of 2004 before reconsidering OSU and Southern Cal in the last two months of the race.

While awaiting word from Wilson, the Buckeyes are expected to sign 17 other players today, led by several high-school All-Americans: running back Maurice Wells of Jacksonville (Sandalwood), Fla.; offensive lineman Alex Boone of Lakewood (St. Edward's); defensive back Jamario O'Neal of Cleveland (Glenville); and defensive end Doug Worthington of Athol Springs, N.Y.
