Barksdale isn't a Michigan lock like SOJ said he was. Barksdale is open to everybody right now. Michigan is going at him very hard though. It's always tough to beat Michigan for an in-state kid that they really want. Very rarely happens, but it does happen sometimes.

That is awesome news that he will be part of the Ted Ginn bus tour this year. I think that will really help our chances.

Agree, it certainly can't hurt Ohio State's recruitment of Barksdale. Just sounded kind of strange to me at first. Isn't Ginn's bus tour for underprivleged kids that are from Ohio to get a chance to get recruiting exposure from schools? Well he's not from Ohio and he doesn't need any help in the recruiting exposure department, just about every school in the nation is already recruiting this kid. Are other members of Barksdale's football team going on this trip, or is just Barksdale? Not so sure what this all means. Don't want to jump to conclusions, but maybe he's leaning towards OSU some?

Ginn is not going to turn anyone down that wants to go on the trip with him and his team. Also Small and Rose went last year and they didnt need any national exposure.

off
The TG Bus Tour has really been gaining a lot of popularity. I know that several kids from all over the state went last year.
DEFINITELY doesn't hurt our chances with Barksdale...

Hopefully it is a sign that he is leaning towards OSU but many kids look up to Ginn and he may just want to go on the tour with other players. However it definetly won't hurt our chances at all.

EDIT: Question answered.

Ted Ginn is a coach that you want to be influenced by. Classy act, preaches hard work, exposure to big programs. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that! I think the pipeline is branching out. Joseph can ride the TG bus all the way to the shoe!
