Disagree with you here. Big time. LaTwan is an absolutely incredible athlete who could play CB or S or even WR at a high level, and USC would have already offered him if it we weren't already set at DB and it there weren't some underlying issues and questions in his recruitment.

I'm hearing that LaTwan got an offer from OSU yesterday from the man himself...

I'm stoked about the offer! Say what you want about the kids "problems", this is true testament of how hard he's been working!

Great job buddy

Your info on Anderson has been pretty spot on...you were talking about a "plan" for Anderson months ago and it appears as though, if this news is true, that Anderson has been following that plan...hopefully he visits with Bryant this weekend.

I would be okay with a DB class that includes Anderson, Bryant, Shaw and Joyner, with Hagan at OLB...

Another source is reporting this news...

Gridironstuds.com Blog

There had been much speculation as to whether or not he would or would not get one but he did. Ohio St. finally offered highly touted in-state talent and Gridironstuds.com member Latwan Anderson.

Anderson's reported 4.29 speed and entertaining highlight video sent him up the charts in recruiting rankings this past spring. While colleges were jumping in making offers for Anderson's services next Fall, in-state powerhouse Ohio St. hung in the background wanting to see more. More is what they got.

Anderson made a publicized move from St. Edwards High School to Glenville High School in April. Glenville is coached by Ted Ginn Sr. who has obvious ties to the Buckeye's program (his son Gin Jr. starred at Ohio St.). Then this summer, Anderson went out and lived up to the hype at various camps. He displayed his athleticism, competitive nature and play making ability while standing side by side with some of the other top rated players in the country. His most notable performance came in the Gridiron Kings event in Orlando where he was the defensive MVP in a pool of very deep prep talent.

Since that performance, Anderson has landed an offer from the defending national champion Florida Gators and now yesterday, the Buckeyes landed their offer. With that, Anderson's list is likely complete. He has stated his list of final schools consist of West Virginia, Georgia, Cincinnati, Miami (FL), Florida and Ohio St. A notable team missing from this final list that was on it before is the University of Michigan.

Well he did perform well against top competition in the camps, my only hang up (and annoyance) was that everything else wasn't in order for him to be an Ohio State student athlete. I don't mind the offer at all, it at least explains why Dietrich Riley hasn't been getting more love.

Does this have anything to do with Hagan's long-term health?

I've never questioned his talent, but from what I've heard, I didn't think he was an OSU-caliber person. I'll trust JT on this I guess...

IMO, Hagan and Anderson could not be more different prospects...one is generously 5-foot-11 185 lbs and could play corner or safety...the other is 6-foot-2 230 lbs and projects as an OLB.

Im guessing this thread will be moved shortly...

Also, now that he has his offer does the BPRT feel confident in OSU's chances?

Congrats on the offer LaTwan!
