Mooney wins again

Simon played a big part in that. The 6-3, 266-pound performer gets plenty of attention on the field, but he's also gotten looks off it. He already has offers from Ohio State, Notre Dame, Stanford, Nebraska and Akron, although he said he's not worried about that decision yet.

"I'll look into it after the season," he said. "I'm sinking everything into this season for now."

Kid is beast. When does he follow suit and join Klein and Whiting?

If someone had a clue, I think they'd post it...

 

[BGriffBuckeye]

OK, I will rephrase that. I hope Simon soon follows suit and joins Klein and Whiting in the '09 class.

I wouldn't expect any movement until at least after his junior season and even then this could play out for a while, which is fine. Mooney kids are astute when it comes to the recruiting process. They know how the process works and how to approach it. Simon got to watch Beachum, Zordich, Hill and McCarthy go through it this year. That being said, I don't think OSU could be in any better shape with Johnny.

Scouting Ohio from BN

Film.

My Take: He changes direction and moves laterally like a linebacker...yet still has plenty of room for polish. If you have any doubts about a 5-star rating, watch this kid redirect and recover on the speed option. I was excited about John before, but this film just amplified that.
