Rodriguez is claiming an offer from tOSU along with Tennessee, Florida, LSU, Alabama, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Georgia Tech and Georgia. His brother currently plays at Tennessee.

Film:

My Take: Rodriguez goes after the ball and adjusts well...shows good body control. However, that was about the only thing that stood out to me. The competition level is questionable...he seemed average in the open field and while showing an adequate top speed, he did not have that "pop" coming out of cuts/stop-starts. No DB highlights so maybe Im missing something...not sure if this is a written offer.

Wilks brother would be Marsalous Johnson

One thing that stood out for me from the two Wilks interviews hosted on Scout's sites was a certain lack of trust with some coaches ---

All of the coaches tell you what you want to hear, so I want to hear it straight from the horse's mouth."

I am trying to find a school that wants me the most. I want them to tell me the truth."

Rodriguez does not have an offer from tOSU but says he is interested in the Buckeyes. He does not have any favorites.

According to him...we aren't even listed in his Rivals profile anymore. I think it is a moot point regardless...Fuller, Floyd, Scott, Thomas, Bayless, etc. are all a little higher on the staff's board, IMHO.

But I will change the thread title for the sake of tradition...

Talks about his team's first game. Focused on football and putting recruiting on hold. His brother is a starting CB at Tennessee and would like to see him end up in Knoxville.
