I like the sounds of the scout interview from the Cleveland combine. From all he's said, it appears all the other schools need to catch OSU. No immediate plans to visit any other schools, going on the Ginn bus tour, and plans to camp @ OSU in the summer. The only way this situation gets any better for the Bucks is a committment.

Jonathan Newsome (6-3, 215), Defensive end (Cleveland/Glenville)
It's hard to say Newsome's stock went down because he graded out fairly close to where we had him off our film reviews (76). We were looking forward to getting a good look at the Ohio State offer at defensive end, but unfortunately, he decided to compete with the outside linebackers most of the day and was not really impressive.

While he showed a good motor and a great frame for continued physical development, he struggled moving laterally in space and looked a bit stiff trying to mirror running backs in open-field drills.

If the Ohio native decides to commit to the Buckeyes, we feel it will be strictly as a defensive end, and he will need a lot of work in the OSU weight room to physically develop.

This seems to have been the story all along, which is why I question if we hold a spot for him. I know he is a Glenville boy, but I've always been curious...

Did you read the article?

If so then you know more than I, but it appears you took that as a negative, but couldn't it just as easily be a positive remark meaning rather than do the "Glenville thing" and wait until next Winter he could commit earlier (to OSU)?

I'm no expert but I highly doubt that the staff is pressuring Glenville kids to commit early. JMO.

I wouldn't think the staff is presuring him either but maybe he realizes that the class is filling up and thinks that there is a chance he could be left out. I'm just taking a shot in the dark here BTW.
