Kris says he was offered personally by JT last summer and he does not see tOSU as too far away. He will begin to narrow things down this summer.

I think Kris would be a great get for this class. Has he announced which schools he would like to take an official to? Has he said anything about any camps he may attend? Gotta love guys who are high on tOSU without seeing it or being at the Shoe for a game. Climb aboard Kris and enjoy the ride, there is nothing like being apart of the Buckeye family in Buckeye country.

The staff has had some success in the past few years in the west....Kris would be a great addition to our depth at offensive line....great looking prospect that has some potential down the road in my opinion.

 

[scarletngrey11]

In all likelihood Kris is one of the top prospects we are after.

His offer list speaks for itself. I believe he has offers from every school that he is currently listing. Hes also probably the top player in Arizona, and among the top linemen in the country.

Kris attended Ohio State's camp last year, but probably will not return this year. It seems that there is a good chance that Kris will make an official visit to Ohio State.

See the earlier posts by "BigBroO'Dowd" (Kris's older brother) and the interview with Kris on the front page for some more details.

I'll be pretty excited to see Kris come to tOSU. I think that our recent ownership of the Fiesta Bowl is starting to pay recruiting dividends.

I am still watching out for USC in this race.

 

[Itownbrowns]

Thanks LJB for the info. I guess the fact that he has already camped at tOSU says alot about his desire in the school. I would'nt think you would go across the country to camp unless you were pretty darn serious about attending that school. I see he thinks Kris may decide by the end of summer, imo that only benefits tOSU's chances. But I hate to be overly optimistic. Either way, I hope Kris does decide on the Buckeyes.

 

[NFBuck]

Securing Kris would make a huge statement of tOSU and Coach Tressel's presence on the West Coast. Like said above, our Fiesta Bowl success's could be really paying dividends. Come join the Buckeye family Kris!

 

[BuckTwenty]

Kris was the first tOSU offer for the entire '07 class that was documented on BP, even beating out Oglesby. That says a LOT!

You would look awful good in Scarlet & Grey, Kris!!
