Which USC?

I don't think South Carolina goes after very many IL recruits...

 

[bobcat84]

I like a DT who has top shot putter and wrestling skills...shot putting requires nimble feet.......grappling--balance, technique and leverage. This kid has it all including nice academics...

Ohio State offers Lane's Tomlinson
May 29, 2009 BY TAYLOR BELL

The recruiting stock of Laken Tomlinson soared Friday when Lane Tech's 6-5, 285-pound offensive lineman was offered a scholarship by Ohio State.

He has 14 offers, including Illinois, Northwestern, Michigan State, Indiana, Purdue, Boston College, Arizona, Vanderbilt, Syracuse, Duke and Iowa State.

"He impressed a lot of people on film during the May evaluation period. His recruiting really took off," said Lane Tech coach Rich Rio. "Boston College saw him on film, came in to see him in person and offered right away. Ohio State came in twice and offered."

Seriously, I like what the staff has done recently. Seems like they are really turning up the heat on the recruiting front, hopefully we can snag a handful of these studs! Go Bucks!!!

From the OSU site...talks about looking forward to visiting OSU this summer...a visit which could be very soon...no preference about offense or defense.

Will be tough to pull out of the state...word is Illinois and Northwestern will be the teams to beat here...
