BN $ - 4-Star Talking Three OSU Visits

3/7

By BK...interest in OSU started when Jamal Marcus signed...knew Coach W from UNC...no favorites but has a couple of visits to Columbus planned.

Going to start adding names to the spring game visitors list...

Josh's potential has turned him into an elite recruit. #5 TE in the new Scout 300. Mike Heuerman is #9.

This kid is impressive!!

Would be awesome to get both Josh and Mike. We already have Jeff, Nick and Blake. I wonder if the staff prefers 4 or 5 TEs.

Can someone tell me what is in the water at that HS? Kids as big as Jamal and Josh should not be able to move that well.

First time seeing film of Josh. Simply put: Beast!

All the physical tools to be great. Only played organized football for a year, and once he starts to learn the ins & outs he's going to be a good one.

Two things stood out to me about Josh's video.

1. He has excellent hands for a guy who's generally new to football. He has to go up and get almost 50% of the passes he snags in this highlight clip. 2. The athleticism. He makes some really nice open field moves for a guy his size and thickness. Wouldn't be at all surprised if he pushes for a top 3 in the nation TE slot. He's raw and exceptional now. With a little polish...watch out. Love Heuerman, but if I had to pick one, I'd take McNeil.

If it came down to it, I think OSU would take both McNeil and Heuermen. Both are Top 5 TE's and have rare athleticism for the position.

Nice to finally see some film of Josh. That being said.......WANT.

Nice to finally see some highlights of Josh. It's easy to see what the staff likes about him. :)

Scout $ - Top TE looking at Clemson

3/17

From the Clemson site....Offered & plans to visit. Plans on coming up with a top 5 in the Spring and making a decision before or after his season.

 

[Buckskin86]

set his decision date for May 25th but rethinking whether he wants to decide then...Fla, GA, tOSU and Miami are recruiting the hardest

Gators offer N.C. tight end McNeil
April, 3, 2012
By Derek Tyson

GAINESVILLE, Fla. --Florida, Florida State and Pittsburgh are just a few top colleges to recently offer Durham (N.C.) Hillside HS tight end Josh McNeil.

The 6-foo-4, 235-pound athlete committed to East Carolina in November but quickly opened things back up after receiving offers from larger BCS schools.

Though McNeil remains wide-open, he says the Florida offer will put the Gators in his list of top schools when he narrows things down.

I assume with Baugh committing, McNeil is out?

Very disappointing if that's the case, as I would prefer him to Heuerman all things being equal.
