By BK...Richard talks about receivng his offer from OSU (offered on 12/1) and his family in Ohio. Some of the schools he is intersted in are Ohio State, Notre Dame, Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma and Florida.

Rivals lists Watson with OSU being the only high interest. Man this would be a big time recruit to pull out of Florida. Hope this kid is serious and not just putting us up there to get more interest from other schools. It would be nice to see the big 4/5 pull in Watson and Pryor.

By BK...RIchard has been in touch with the staff. OSU and Alabama have offered and he is also looking at Notre Dame, Miami, Florida, FSU, LSU and Georgia.

I like where OSU is at with Richard at this point...

Saban is dangerous at Bama... He and the school both aren't above underhanded things... Let's hope that Richard doesn't fall for any of them (were they to be used) and sees a great opportunity here...

I wonder if Brewster or Adams has contacted him yet, if not I am sure they might soon...

Richard is not the Jr. RB prospect I was talking about dozer...

Obviously it's Womble, because Watson already has an offer. But it's good to see that we are favorites for a couple of elite backs.

So what does the promise to Devoe Torrence mean for this recruit? If Devoe is promised that we won't sign another RB, does this mean we stop recruiting Richard Watson?

I would assume so. Ohio State already has running backs and this upcoming class will be small, so one running back as talented as Devoe Torrence would be more than sufficient.

From FlaVarsity...Clemson has offered. OSU still leads.

Just out of curiosity, from those of you in the know..... how would you rate Watson vs Devoe?

DeVoe > Watson

DeVoe has great speed and has that homerun hitting ability along with the ability to get the tough yards...

Watson reminds me a lot of Robert Hughes last year a big back that doesnt have that top end speed, but has good vision and finds a way to get yards...
