considering official offers can't be given out for a few days, possibly a little bit of both, leaning on the side of bad journalism

Yeah, my guess is that 80% of the population doesn't know that so just print it and run with it. I guess what I was getting at was the fact that some of the '12 recruits have (verbal offer) in their thread title, Shell does not; I was wondering if BP had heard anything supporting or discounting the claim in the article, assuming it meant verbal.

We learned that it doesn't matter who blocks for Hopewell junior running back Rushel Shell. He gained 173 yards on 19 carries in a 14-7 victory against a good Belle Vernon Area team. That does not include the 89 yards Shell had in returning the kickoff for a score following Belle Vernon's touchdown in the second quarter.

The preseason thinking was that Shell, who has already rushed for more than 4,000 yards in his career, might have some problems gaining ground because all of Hopewell's usual starting offensive linemen last season graduated. It appears that thinking was off a bit.

Is he the only one playing? How do you rush for 318 yards on 34 carries and lose?

As a Bengals fan, this kind of thing isn't unheard of. I still remember the sting of Carson Palmer's 6 TD performance in their season opening loss to the Browns. Hopefully we'll get the chance to see what this stud can do when he has a whole team of quality Buckeyes around him!

How come Ohio State hasn't offered? This kid is a monster. I can't believe his team continues to lose though. It's mind boggling.

It's likely due to the stable of RBs Ohio State already has in Columbus.

I wouldn't worry about it too much quite yet.

Ball already on board and Dunn may be on deck. I wouldn't worry. Chances are, two of the three end up in C-Bus and that is quite a haul...
