Tressels stage a friendly recruiting battle
It's a congenial tug of war over prized high school recruits when members of one family represent three different college football programs.

Dick Tressel, the former Hamline head football coach, is now the running backs coach at Ohio State under his brother, Jim, the head coach.
Dick's son, Mike, is the linebackers coach at the University of Cincinnati. And another son, Luke, who played football for his father at Hamline, is the wide receivers coach for the Gophers.
Now all three -- Dick, Mike and Luke -- are recruiting against each other for Bryce McNaul, the outstanding Eden Prairie linebacker.
You would think a father would have a hard time feeling good about trying to outrecruit two of his sons.
A year ago, Ohio State successfully recruited Wayzata linebacker James Laurinaitis.
"No, we don't have a family problem," Luke said. "This is our job."
