By Bone...Oklahoma has offered, joining the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Miami, Ohio State, Tennessee, Texas and USC. Says he would like to make unofficials to Clemson, Michigan, Miami, USC, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Ohio State.

You have to pay for your own way on an unofficial, correct?

Yes.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Yes.

Then unless he's extremely well-off, I don't know how he'd think traveling across the country to 8 different places is realistic.

Thus the words, "he would like to"...

Good point.

FWIW, I didn't actually expect him to go through with those visits. I was just surprised he thought it was even possible.

 

[wadc45]

Sometimes assistant or head coaches of high schools will help facilitate visits for their players...there are updates all the time about a kid driving with one of his players to make an unofficial visit. Think of all the kids who get to see so many different schools that they never would have had the chance to thanks to the Ginn Bus Tour.

Taking a guess his likely destination is Alabama?

Has there even been a recruit from Alabama that OSU has come close to landing or signed in recent times?

 

[pnuts34]

Wow, I was just about to ask the same question. I doubt this kid makes out of the SEC let alone Alabama, but he'd be a great get!

 

[crazybuckfan40]

I believe Phelon Jones from a couple years back had some solid interest in us and ended up choosing Miami...

This kid is a top 5 talent in the country IMO and number one CB...

I don't know man....but with a recruiter like Nick Saban around with the Tide, it's gonna be near impossible to pull any blue-chip talent out of AL now.

 

[MONTbigBuck]

A few years ago Mich. got Max Martin out of Alabama, and I think they had some punt returner committed the next year before kicking him loose. So I guess it is theoretically possible to get an Alabama kid to look up north. Having said that, I won't be following Dre's recruitment with any thought that we could get him.
