If I remember correctly (it was said earlier in the thread), they didn't want a promise for early playing time... they wanted the promise to have the opportunity for early playing time, meaning he's preparing himself to work really hard to play early, and maybe even earn that starting spot. I like that attitude.
The best opportunities for ya are right here in Ohio. Stay REALLY close to home, be part of our family, work with some of the best coaches in college football, great academics, play in front of 100,000+, GREAT jobs after college, GREAT opportunities to graduate to The League, you get to beat michigan for 4 years, and you certainly have the talent to not only play early, but possibly even start (replacing 2 starters after this year, 2 starters next year). You can't go wrong picking Ohio State, bro!
