Honest question: does this stuff with the Tatted 5 really do anything to negatively affect recruiting? Tressel and the staff didn't go up to players and say "Listen, you play for OSU, you'll get free tattoos for all 4-5 years you're here". It was 5 guys that went out of bounds according the NCAA. If anything, it should boost recruiting, since spaces have opened up that wouldn't have otherwise. In my opinion, at least.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tressel talked to all the recruits about the situation before they publicly announced the wrongdoings. That includes current and possible future commits. And yes, that would possibly give the recruits more of a chance to play as well.

Gilman's Darius Jennings focused on three
A preview of how Gilman quarterback Darius Jennings could be used in college was on display Thursday night at the inaugural Chesapeake Bowl at Towson University's Johnny Unitas Stadium.
With Greyhounds coach Biff Poggi manning the sideline for the South roster, Jennings took handoffs, threw the ball and split wide at receiver en route to a 150-yard day. The four-star prospect completed passes of 20 and 49 yards, in addition to scoring on a 10-yard run to propel the South to a 30-27 win over the North.
After the game, Jennings spoke about the three college programs still in the mix for his services.
?Ohio State, Virginia, Wake Forest,? said Jennings, who trimmed Maryland, UCLA and Virginia Tech from his list. ?I take my official to Wake Forest on Jan. 14. I?ve already been to Virginia and Ohio State. Sometime after Jan. 14, I?ll make my decision.?
Jennings has apparent ties to all three programs. Greyhounds offensive lineman Hunter Goodwin -- who also participated in the Chesapeake Bowl -- committed to the Demon Deacons in April. The Cavaliers? 2011 recruiting class already includes six players from Maryland, including Boys? Latin defensive end Marco Jones -- another Chesapeake Bowl participant. And Gilman defensive coordinator Stan White was an All-American linebacker for the Buckeyes before starring for the Baltimore Colts.
?[It?s] kind of an even playing field,? Jennings said. ?I?m going to wait until my official to Wake Forest, compare all three and then I?ll go from there.?
Jennings, The Baltimore Sun?s All-Metro Offensive Player of the Year, finished his senior season with 1,592 yards rushing and 19 touchdowns on 165 carries, five kickoff returns for 220 yards and two touchdowns, and 29-for-50 passing for 425 yards and three touchdowns. He is scheduled to play in the Under Armour All-America game at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla., on Jan. 5, but said he doesn?t have any concrete plans for announcing his decision.
?I?m kind of a low-key guy,? he said. ?Just when I feel is right, that?s when I?ll do it.?

Will not be playing in the UA bowl due to concussion received in a different all star game according to ESPN.

OSU wants him as an ATH, UVA wants him as a slot and Wake wants him as a QB...not sure which position he would prefer to play in college...visiting Wake on 1/14.
Hard to pass up the prestige of being a college QB...Wake just put themselves in a great position to land Jennings...

Is this one of those situations like MSU telling William Gholston he will play LB and then moved him to DE after one practice? Tell em what they want to hear to get em on campus...wadc45;1847658; said:

Not only that, but Wake already has a commitment from another QB in Kevin Souza.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Re: "Right now I am open. I had two really good trips to Ohio State and Virginia. Ohio State likes me as a cornerback. Virginia likes me on offense at receiver. I may get a chance to play quarterback at Wake. We'll see.
It always amazes me when a high school player always wants to play the glamour positions (i.e. QB or RB) in college. They also want to eventually "play on Sunday". You would think they would want to play the position in college that best develops their natural abilities and increases their changes of playing professional football.
Hint: There is a premium on "shut down" cornerbacks in the NFL.
