Pitt, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Virginia and Virginia Tech have visited recently. Evan visited Penn State but did not feel comfortable there. Pitt and Ohio State are his leaders with Notre Dame, Clemson, Iowa and Virginia in the mix.

[Brutus1]

He's gonna be a Buckeye.

 

[scarletngrey11]

He's gonna be a Buckeye.

Is that just a hunch?

 

[Brutus1]

Is that just a hunch?

Yep. I was listening to him before the Iowa game. You could just tell by looking at him that he loved being there. He was happy to say it was his third game he's attended. He looked very good for a late 16, early 17 year old.

After hearing his Penn State remark, I'm counting on him coming to Columbus.

 

[dfaulkne]

What kind of prospect is he expected to be??

National Top 100?
Top 10 in PA?

A 5, 4 , 3 star prospect?

I know all that stuff isn't that important, was just wondering....

After hearing Blankenship's comments regarding Penn State expect MarshCreek to rate him a 2 star prospect and just outside the Pennsylvania top 100.

Pretty much dead on. I have him at #104.

Sarcasm?

 

[sears3820]

Yeah that was sarcasm. Blankenship is one of the top prospects in PA next year.

 

[scarletngrey11]

Does anyone know if this will be a long recruiting process, or has he said if he will commit early? This guy has to be a top-3 OL target for this coming year.

 

[HotMic]

This guy has to be a top-3 OL target for this coming year.

Nation-wide or for us? For us he is, I don't think nation-wide though. Can you guys imagine an O-line class of:

Blankenship
Oglesby
Shepis

I'm not sure but if the staff offered him this early, he has to be up there near the top 100 I would think. Probably a 4 star. Also my wish list would have to be Oglesby, Blankenship, O'Dowd, and Shepsis. Also would love McCoy and Davis but they are more longshots.

 

[wadc45]

no to get off track but Weterer may be more of a target in-state than Schepis. Be that as it may, the staff is obviously turning it's attention OOS for OL in the '07 class, with early contact going out to guys like Blankenship, O'Dowd and Oglesby.
