Josh will unofficially visit Michigan this weekend. He says his favorites, in order, are tOSU, Illinois, and Michigan.

does anyone find it odd that he told an osu site that questions about depth have Illinois creeping in the picture with osu, but tells a ttun site that osu is #1?

Why? Those two descriptions are entirely consistent with one another.

I think you are taking these snippets a little too literally...remember there is the issue of context and timing. One may have bene written before the other...maybe he has talked to Doc Tressel since then, maybe one reporter chose to focus on the depth issue wheras the other didn't even mention it.

Also, there is the issue of tipping your hand... Recruits that are really into one team will down-play their interest to that team's site...

I think we are in great shape with Josh. We have the last visit for him (realistically at least, I think ASU is scheduled in later Jan., but I don't think he makes that visit), as he will officially visit Michigan 12/1 and us 12/8, plus he'll be in attendance for The Game.

Josh loved his visit to Ann Arbor but says the Buckeyes still lead.

Nice!!!!

As the thin man Duane Long say's "if your team doesn't lead after a visit you pretty much out of it."

Josh again says the trip to Michigan was extremely impressive. He does report a 2.3 core GPA and a 21 ACT.

You have to like the fact that he told a scUM site that we have the lead...

 

[Buckeyecty4]

Wuts up with that GPA... is he going to have problems with admissions or does that ACT score make him eligible?

Maybe less weekends at the ballgames and more at the library...

keep in mind that is his core GPA...Also a score of 21 for an athlete should get you in to about any BCS school.

 

[BGriffBuckeye]

Yeah, pretty sure the 21 is weighted pretty heavily.

I tried looking up the score/GPA in the "Eligibility" thread, but with the new changes to the site, the table got all messed up I think....

Here is the link to the NCAA eligibility table

With a 2.3 Core GPA, Josh needs an 18.75 which rounds to a 19.

Therefore, if he holds his GPA, he will be eligible according to the NCAA...tOSU admissions are another story that none of us can accurately predict anymore.

Josh says he spoke with Coach Heacock about the depth chart and feels better about the situation. The Buckeyes still lead over Illinois and Michigan.

The visit seems to have cooled even more now as Josh says it helped Michigan, but not very much as they are still his third choice behind the Buckeyes and Illinois. He does admit though, that there is not a huge gap between his teams of interest.
