'07 OH DE Ben Martin (Tennessee signee)

BN $

8/27

Great read where Ben discusses his preference for DE and his hopes for this season.

told ya he preferred DE. :biggrin: :wink2:


I watched him play LB yesterday (I know...this is not recruiting info, but I think its important to note) and he just does not look comfortable playing the position. His first steps were backwards and stiff and he looked like he was thinking instead of reacting and not playing agressivley because of it...Ben is a DE and a damn good one. ND has told him they wish to move him to LB and I know for a fact this is weighing in his decision.

Thought Ben's comments were more positive than that...

OSUgrad,

Know you can't post premium info, but personally, reading it, I came away feel pretty good about our chances with Ben.

He seems to like the coaches, players and Columbus in general.

I don't know if we would be considered the favorites, because anyone new can come along, but it's pretty clear to me that we at least have a good shot along with ND.

Just feel the statements by Ben are good reasons for optimism at this point.

:oh:

Talked to my source last night...

he said if vegas took bets, he'd lay money on Ben and OSU...kind of a detailed conversation that involves a lot of info that I would never be able to verify unless I were a fly on a wall in the ND coaches offices, but it comes back to Ben really not liking the LB position...I think, but I am not 100%, that LaSalle's LB coach is an ND grad...Could be more to this story that won't come out until after Ben commits. I'll keep you posted as I get more info or verrification.

Does Ben have a nickname? If not I suggest "The Ghost."
