In 2009 I will be playing for the.......................................

haha no idea as of now, hopfully I can break it down a little further in June

Has Rutgers offered you yet??? I saw a scout when I was In Gym today and I'm assuming he was there for u.

yea they offered about a month ago

I'm an Illini Fan. Your from Illinois. Illinois went to the Rose Bowl. They have to be right up there right???

yea they definately are, I really like coach zook alot and coach wolford is a great guy as well

Are you considering enrolling early at whichever school you decide to attend?

no, I really want to enjoy my senior year because it only happens once in your life

What role is Garrett Goebel's uncle playing in your recruitment and is there any pressure from him to go to OSU?

I havn't really talked with him in about 2 months, so I havn't experienced any pressure from him lately

As transparent as always, lopo.

a little off topic. Are u playing basketball your Senior Year for West. I go to ur school (I'll be a sophmore next year) and I think I have the talent to be on the Varsity team.

yea definately I love basketball and its helped me alot...who is this by the way? haha

Will the quality of your education play a large role in your college choice, or will it be the best football school?

yes it does, but I know that every school has a good business school, some are better then others but its all how you value your education

Will the decision of other top Oline men affect you. Like Hall if he goes Ohio State and how Shrive skipped out on Notre Dame and Illinois to go to PSU?

a little bit its just about communicating with the coaches and finding if they are still interested

Is the Rich Rodriguez situation swaying your decision of whether to go to Michigan or not? Just all the stuff that is going around, New Coach, Feud between Him and WVU

not really, ive had some good talks with him and hes a really good guy

Hypothetical between OSU & UM. They are the only teams that want u, who do u choose. Be Honest.

both would be tied right now, however I have known osu longer so maybe a little edge

Is It true that Jim Tressel (football coach) came to one of the basketball games?

R u considering playing basketball in College too.

he came to a practice, doc tressel came to a game...and no

have you had any contact with committed Penn State offensive lineman or the coaching staff recently? Has Penn State given you a verbal or written offer?

just the coaching staff and it has been a verbal

My question is.....What position would you like to play on the next level? Most have you pegged as a Guard. Is that a position you like and why?

what I like about OSu is they think i can play all 5 of the positions on the oline but must likely OG

I know that ur a huge USC fan, have u gotten an offer from them.

no I have not, but Im not going there even if they do

Beautiful..

I saw UCLA at our school a few days ago. Did they offer you. Rick Neuihesel is a great coach and who wouldn't want to go to college in LA

yes they have offered, I was able to talk with coach the other day as well and I like him alot to...feel free to ask more questions Ill respond to them later, I have one of my finals tommorow

I would like to clarify one point regarding why Chris Watt (& family) requested my assistance in helping to manage his recruiting process. Due to my familiarity with numerous programs / recruiting coordinators as a result of managing my nephew Garrett Goebel as well as a former teamate of Watt's they (the Watt family) realized that it can only benefit the recruit to NOT PUT THIS ENTIRE RESPONSIBILITY ON High School Head coaches. Fortunately for Chris, Coach Hetlet has done an awesome job getting Chris recruited. After OSU offerred Chris I realized that in all fairness to the Watt's I HAVE TO BE OBJECTIVE AND NOT ATTEMPT TO PERSUADE HIM TO BECOME A BUCKEYE.

Also having been familiar with the Buckeye's recruiting if I was to pressure Chris I would be working against OSU's low key approach.

Overall my involvement in Chris Watt's recruiting is VERY SIMILAR to Garrett Goebel's.....sending out his film, following up to make sure film is viewed..THE REST SELL'S ITSELF DUE TO THE RECRUITS SUPERB ABILITIES!!!

A solid contribution to the recruiting world and pertinent information for BP once again XP! Many here at this board appreciate your efforts, regardless of what college choice Watt makes. Thanks.

 

[C-busBuck]

The QA on the Villanova site was ran by a bunch of teenagers and was a Joke of an interview. Everything about it was Illinois slanted. Hardly any of the tOSU and scUM questions actually got presented to Chris for an answer.:(

For those of you who followed Garrett Goebel's recruiting journey may recall that the last school Garrett visited was U of MICHIGAN. However at that time (July) Garrett was already 95% sure that the Buckeyes were the "perfect fit" for him. Since MICHIGAN was late to offer Garrett he did not even want to look into their offer. As a reputable program & to ensure no regrets I ENCOURAGED GARRETT VISIT THERE......I knew it was a mute point though as Garrett's heart was with Buckeyes for months prior. But you must leave "no stone unturned" in today's complex recruiting environment.

I feel that once Watt makes a second visit his mind will be close to a final decision......IMO
