Zook encourages kids to take their time before they commit.

Tressel has always done the same thing, up until this year. By how many offers we are throwing out to recruits, it seems we want to have our kids all committed before the football season starts.

That theory of recruiting has cost us some recruits in the past, but it really shows the recruit a lot about your coaching staff and your program. The recruits seem to really respect that because they see that the coaching staff is putting the recruit's interests in front of their own. It is also nice because after that recruit finally DOES verbal to a school, that kid bleeds the school colors because he is absolutely sure that he committed to the right school for him.

I kinda wish we weren't going for an early end to the recruiting season, because I think we will see more kids verbal to hold their spot and not wait until they are 100% sure they want to be Buckeyes (ala Darrell Givens). Zook's doing the right thing, even if it costs him a recruit here and there (ala Fellows), because those kids that they get will be 100% Illini (ala Scott).

Because clearly Scout article > Jheranie's own words...

I mean its not like Jheranie would know where he actually wants to go to school or anything. I definitely believe the Illinois Scout writer with no agenda and his incredibly good sources.

I don't read scout. I don't care to. I don't need to. I keep up with *Buckeye* recruits here on BP.

But, that aside, I don't understand why the fact that it seems that another board changed their position on a recruit's interest in *another* school should be particularly "interesting" here.

Listen... If you know something, share it and prepare for the consequences. If you don't, then just sit back and watch things develop.

i just ask for accurate reporting.

You only get that with the $79.95 package.

EDIT: Send a PM to osugrad21 and communicate your displeasure with the inaccuary of the reporting here on the free board and tell him that you'd like to have an upgrade. He'll hook you up...
