What's going on with Ejuan Price?
In short, nobody knows. He's still an Ohio State commitment, but his interaction with Todd Graham and his trips to Pittsburgh tell a different story.
If Ohio State should lose Price to Pittsburgh, we don't feel that the Ohio State coaches would be too heartbroken. Make no mistake, they want Price in Columbus, but they also have two other linebackers currently in this class along with a possible commitment from Curtis Grant on the way. Ejuan Price is a talented linebacker but not a physical behemoth like Curtis Grant.
There are only a handful of Curtis Grants at any position in any given recruiting year, but there are plenty of Ejuan Prices. Linebacker is a deep year in the Midwest next season, and with a strong linebacker class this year, we don't see the Buckeyes giving Price the hard sell before Signing Day. They don't want a player on the roster who does not want to be there, and if Price is seriously torn between Pittsburgh and Ohio State, the coaches may just encourage him to go with his heart, no matter where that may lead.
Will Ejuan Price sign with Ohio State?
Cliff says: Remember when Price suddenly had Rutgers in his top 3? His teammate and good friend Lafayette Pitts had just committed there. The problem was the Scarlet Knights wouldn't take a 3rd Woodland HIlls player & Lafayette's cousin, Jevonte Pitts. Guess where Jevonte just committed to? Here's a hint - it's the same school that just offered Lafayette, has been ratcheting up the pressure on Price, and convinced him to surreptitiously take a visit there last weekend. Oops, I guess that's 3 hints. Price stays home to be a Panther.
Tyler says: I have nothing to add to Cliff's summation of events. Pittsburgh wants Price and is doing whatever it takes to convince him to stay home for college. He's a Panther.
They are all in for Grant (or at least as "all in" as tOSU staff can be) and have been for a while. That decision was independent of Price.I haven't followed this much, so I'm just reading what's here.
But if Price ends up a Panther, do you think that means staff goes all in for Grant?

Lafayette Pitts and Ejuan Price will sign their National Letters of Intent tomorrow morning at 8:00am. Pitts is expected to choose between Rutgers and Pittsburgh. Price, is committed to Ohio State, but Pittsburgh has been making a strong run at him.
