Kiffin and his 10 scholarships remind me of Jesus and the two fishes.

OSU should take them all if they can but, need some Tim Anderson/Hankins types just like Alabama/LSU has every year to make it a complete line.

I agree, but why have Tim Anderson/Dex Larrimore types when you can have Hankins/R.Pickett types who are have some explosion and playmaking ability

Kiffin does not remind me a Jesus.

Kiffin does not remind me a Jesus.

Well, Jesus cheated death and Kiffin cheated the death penalty...

Kiffin does not remind me a Jesus.

I agree. I don't see the resemblance at all.

Don Bosco's Hamilton adds Ohio State to mix

Darius Hamilton of Don Bosco Prep, one of the nation's top-rated defensive linemen, has added Ohio State to his list of possible finalists after he talked to newly hired head coach Urban Meyer this week.

Hamilton said Tuesday that the Buckeyes were being reconsidered after the hiring, possibly putting the Big Ten school in a group that includes Florida, Cal, Rutgers and perhaps Tennessee.

Hamilton had three of his team's seven sacks in a 42-14 victory over Bergen Catholic in Friday's NJSIAA Non-Public Group 4 championship game, which likely locked up the No. 1 ranking in final national polls and the top spot in the state in The-Star Ledger Top 20.

He will make an official visit to Florida this weekend and has a trip to Berkeley set for next weekend. The son of former NFL lineman Keith Hamilton said he probably would not make an official visit to Rutgers because he prefers to save the visits for schools he hasn't seen.

"I've been down there so many times I'm not sure I need to do that," he said.
Tennessee remains a possibility for an official visit, said Hamilton, who also had been including USC and Oklahoma among his likely finalists. He isn't quite sure where the Trojans stand.

"I'm still talking to them," Hamilton said of the Los Angeles school, "but I don't know how far it is going to go."

Class of 2012 recruiting projections

11. DE Darius Hamilton, Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.)

Considering: Cal, Florida, LSU, Rutgers

Prediction: Rutgers. It's been rumored for a while now: Hamilton, the son of former NFL Pro-Bowler Keith and a bona fide five-star prospect, is likely to commit in-state to Rutgers. It'd be a huge get for Greg Schiano and Co., and it's not inconceivable. Teammate Leonte Carroo already pledged to the Scarlet Knights, and 2011 graduates Gary Nova and Paul Canevari are currently freshmen.

Excellent interview and an impressive young man...tOSU is in the mix for his final visit.

"I am going to Florida this weekend and Cal the weekend after that," he said. "I will also take an official to Tennessee in January and probably to Oklahoma as well. After that I will figure out what my fifth visit is going to be. It could be Rutgers, it could be South Cal because they just came out here to see me recently or it could be Ohio State because Urban Meyer called and when he calls, you are interested. Urban Meyer is a great coach."

Officially visits UF today, Cal next week, interested in OSU due to past success, titles. Knee injury taught him to think & plan for life after football.

Rivals$--Hamilton visits UF, has a top three

Darius says Rutgers is his favorite but Florida makes the decision tougher. He will definitely visit Cal and is considering a visit to Ohio State.

Darius Hamilton of Don Bosco Prep is The Star-Ledger's Defensive Football Player of the Year for 2011

Darius Hamilton of Don Bosco Prep is The Star-Ledger's Defensive football state Player of the Year for 2011.

Darius Hamilton has some uncomfortable memories of his early days at Don Bosco Prep.

There was the campus full of strangers who made Hamilton wish he were with his friends at Paterson Catholic. There was the uncertainty of immediately joining the varsity and trying to fit in physically and socially with upperclassmen who were resistant to embracing a freshman, even if, or perhaps because, he was the son of a former NFL player.

Then there was that day in the weight room when he was caught sitting down, a violation of a coaches' rule that requires immediate punishment.

"I was supposed to do 25 push-ups in front of the whole varsity team," Hamilton recalled. "And I couldn't even do one."

Hamilton's most significant early moment in the memory of Don Bosco's head coach, Greg Toal, was much more favorable.

"I remember all summer long before his junior year we couldn?t run the ball outside of him," Toal said. "He was the defensive tackle and we couldn?t run a play from there to the sideline. He was so dominating in practice."
