'07 IL RB Robert Hughes (Notre Dame signee)

[wadc45]

Based on what I've heard (mostly from UF) I would be surprised to see Hughes go through the process and not end up with an offer from OSU at some point...

lol, i think Hughes would agree with you, OSU knows it doesn't have to be in a rush to offer any RB's this year.

a) 4.4 is not most likely

b) your favorite team i believe is michigan right? Michigan has him 7th on their RB board, meanwhile Michigan has Hughes 2nd on their board

c) he's a real good player who could benefit going to a team like Wisconsin, Hughes will probably land at either OSU, UM, or ND.

Did you mean to say that we have him second on our board??

OSU does its evaluations a little differently and a little later than the national recruiting powers do. As of now I believe they have Hughes #1 or 2 depending on where they project Saine. Michigan has Mark Tyler #1 from what I understand (even though he's a super duper long shot)

Ok thanks. So he should see an offer soon then??

a) 4.4 (for Clay) is not most likely

He just won a 55 meter dash meet in Madison where he posted a time of 6.59, and beat fellow Wisconsin football prospect, DB Victor Reynolds. Reynolds has an offer from Nebraska, and interest from Ohio State and Wisconsin. He's known for his speed and tremendous athleticism and also claims a 4.4. http://wisconsin.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=528801 And Clay beat him. I'd say near 4.4 is legit. And actually, it's been claimed he's run as low as 4.33.

Robert has offers from Mississippi State, Minnesota, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Illinois, Virginia, Purdue and Michigan. He enjoyed a visit to Illinois and took the ACT on saturday.

 

[crazybuckfan40]

Hopefully he gets an offer after those results come back.

At least we know that he will receive an offer and most likely the hold up is the ACT score.....we will probably see movement after his results come back.

In a very leading interview, Robert says Michigan is his favorite school right now and he is very comfortable in Ann Arbor.

No big surprise there.

Michigan is the only school in his top-3 that has offered him a scholarship, so its easy to understand why they are the favorite right now.

Not so fast....

From what I hear, this is an UM-UM battle pretty much. I really only see Virginia or ND changing his mind, and that is extremely unlikely based on interviews he has given.

I will just have to disagree with you on this one.

Brandon Saine to UM would change his mind. I bet OSU quickly becomes a major player if/when they offer Hughes.

Hughes top three consists of OSU, Michigan, and Notre Dame.

Hughes is not worried about competition at all, and has openly stated that at least once.

OSU is definantly a player in this race if they offer.
