'13 FL P Johnny Townsend (Florida Signee)

[Muck]

And my goodness, doesn't the Orlando Sentinel use spell check? There are three misspelled words in those two sentences.

Were you "countin"?

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

And keeps implying OSU doesn't have room because of other commitments...they better know something we don't or this is extremely shoddy journalism.

Huh?

I like the commit to Alabam part myself.

Urban Meyer said they are "waiting on one more" signature today. "We've been told we're good and it's been a good day."

I take this as one of Elliot or Townsend is flipping.....

The red squiggly lines under the words in the reply box made it easy.

I don't think we can say for sure that there wasn't a greyshirt offer. It is still possible to have a good relationship with the staff with a greyshirt offer. Something has obviously changed with either Alabama or Ohio State.

A grey-shirt offer in this instance makes no sense. He is likely needed this year.

 

[Swimmer]

Perhaps it's a grayshirt offer today... that could translate to a full one this fall if a space opens up

 

[Hodgepodge]

With the news yesterday that a Meyer tried to flip a Texas WR recruit yesterday, that makes all this even stranger.

 

[Merih]

Commence my hand wringing again. I love hot dogs but don't like seeing them made.

Brandon Castel reporting the same:

Hearing from sources close to Johnny Townsend the punter still has a full-ride scholarship offer on the table from OSU

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

What a very curious series of reports.

 

[starBUCKS]

UM indirectly responding to question about pulling "anyone's scholarship" ... No they have not pulled anyone's offer.

 

[dragurd]

The way the reports are worded almost make it sound like a university issue vs a scholorship issue but I don't know what would be the issue there? The university putting him in the wrong major?

Townsend, one of the top punters in the country, was expected to sign with Ohio State today but an unspecified "family matter" has put his signing of the National Letter of Intent on hold. Townsend's father, Clay Townsend, however, said speculation about any scholarship offer being pulled was "completely false."
Clay Townsend said: "Coach Meyer has not pulled anything and everything regarding the scholarship offer remains intact. We just have a family matter that has required extra consideration and he has not signed, but the status of his scholarship is the same."

Boone athletic director Doug Patterson said the situation is being discussed between the school and the Townsend family.
"Right now it's a personal matter between the Townsends and Ohio State and they are working as fast as they can to make sure that any concerns they have is taken care of," Patterson said."They really want to hold off on a binding commitment until they feel 100 percent comfortable with everything from the University."
