"Ohio State" not "Oregon State"

For those who read the Scout.com website with regards to the latest article on Kristofer O'Dowd ... the schools Kristofer has listed as his current three schools of interest are Arizona, USC and Ohio State (not Oregon State as listed in the article).

BIG BRO,
Is distance a factor at all with Kris? I seem to remember you saying that it really wouldn't play into his recruitment, but I just wanted to make sure.

Understandably, it has to be difficult going so far from home at such a young age.

That said, it's going to be tough for him to find a support system as tight as the one that coach Tressel has put together at Ohio State. The Dispatch just ran an article on Bobby Carpenter, AJ Hawk, and Anthony Schlegel and the relationship that they have developed during their time at Ohio State. They were all at the WHAC lifting at 6:00 am the week after the draft. Coach Tressel is all about building a family atmosphere within the team.

Distance does not appear to be a factor because, being from Arizona, you have to go out of state to play for a top 10 program. The only top 10 program even close to AZ is USC ... all of the other Top 10 programs require a varying degree of plane travel.

And, Columbus is obviously not a little or even college dependent town ... but he was visiting Los Angeles (the spawling land of millions) when the quote was made. Plus, he is 17 years old and has limited references.

Most of us from COlumbus spend our natural lives defending the size of Columbus...I lived in NYC for 6 years and spent the entire time preaching to people about how Columbus is the 15th largest city in the country.

Glad to hear he is considering an official out here...whether it's for a game or after the Fall, I'm sure he will enjoy himself.

BigBro, welcome to BP! Hopefully you make yourself at home and enjoy visiting.

Thank you so much for the updates! I look forward to following Kris' recruitment and hopefully watching him in S&G for the next 4 years!

Go Bucks!

Hey Bigbroodowd, quick question. Are you planning on making any trips to columbus to see any games? If so, make sure you make it to the Michigan game. Whether or not Kris is still considering OSU strongly, there isn't a football game in the country better than OSU Michigan. Especially when it's in columbus!:biggrin:

From an outside point of view, good luck in the recruiting process (yeah it's sort of redudant I know).
