Okay, can anyone with an information on this kid explain why he didn't get offered?

He's an Ohio kid, highly rated at a position of need, etc. etc. I'm assuming there was something else going on. I hope there wasn't and we're just so happy about our standing with others that we didn't need him.

Anyway, any information would be appreciated.

1) OSU has other players rated higher on their board, who they have a legit shot at.

2) It's not like he has other big time offers, except for OSU.

1) Ohio State hasn't offered.

2) Scout is often wrong but it states Georgia has offered. Even with that said Boston College, Illinois, West Virginia, and Minnesota aren't bad offers.

Now if you said PSU, ND, and Michigan instead of Minny, WVU, Illinois, and BC, I'd be wondering also. I'm sure he's a good prospect, but those offers are a tier below the big boys.

I know OSU hasn't offered. I guess I should have said, "He didn't have bigtime offers from everyone but OSU"

Barksdale, Martin, Jeremiah, Morgan, Thomas, Still. Those are the reasons OSU hasn't offered.
