Thank you, "certain poster west of the mississippi". I guess this needs to be kept hush-hush since I'm guessing he resides near Area 51. :wink2:

I am very happy for Freddie and his family, he is one of the kids that waited patiently all recruiting process to be offered by OSU and he did that because he wanted to become a Buckeye and although he has had a "bump" in the road, his dream is going to become reality. I am glad we can finally have a happy ending to one of these situations that are becoming all to familiar to people like me who follow recruiting.

Please don't forget that Coach Tressel did not have to offer him the opportunity to gray shirt and that just shows you what kind of young man and talented athlete he is.

This sums up most of it. This is a kid you (we all) just want to see succeed. He's had a lot to overcome, and he's overcome a lot. And we might also mention the classy move by Tressel to help preserve his chance to succeed.

My only question is how a kid who doesn't have two dimes to rub together and who has a kid to support can afford to grayshirt, when that means paying his own way. He's going to need a bunch of support--morally, spiritually, and financially.

Good luck, Freddie. If nothing else, this will make you a man.

Won't he have the whole first semester to work? I agree its still tough but that will help...

Also does he have to go to a Juco to be qualified or can he just work and live at home and then start college halfway thru the year?

We know he'll have some challenges with that last... but he's already surrounded by the right people to provide the first two. I'm just thankful he gets to stay by family and remain part of the Buckeye family.

How he will handle this financially is a fair question.

The latest quote from Ginn Sr: "... he wont waste a year playing special teams. This way he won't have to redshirt and he still will have five years."

This is a kid who considered not going to college because he needed to support his family. Now he may take six years to get through college?

Please tell me he doesn't have a cell phone.

athletes always have lower admission standards than "normal" applicants b/c the coaches are giving out the schollys, so as long as the athlete meets the bare minimum requirements to get in, he/she can accept a scholly. On the other hand, normal applicants might have above average scores and still be rejected. An interesting stat- Stanford rejects 50% of people that score a perfect 1600 applying there every year, which is pretty damn elite company. However, if you're a big time fball/bball recruit, a 1100 and you're guaranteed in. sorry for the digression- back to freddie.
