Great game so far, my thoughts:

- Sign up Grunder for Massilon...what a player, he is really fun to watch.

- Sturdivant is VERY impressive...I would be schocked if we don't offer.

- Cardale Jones has the tools but his mechanics are horrid at this point, and I mean horrid. Very, very raw but I think an Indiana or a Minnesota would take a shot on him. If he progresses, he could get serious consideration from mid to upper Big Ten schools.

- I wasn't that impressed by Foster's sophmore video, but he looks spectacular this year. Big time RB and likely a top 30 player in the state.

- Glenville is loaded. I could see Walker, Sturdivant, Wynn (already offered), Anderson, Bryant, and possibly Foster all as Buckeyes.
 
Posted this in the 2009 playoffs thread but i'll copy it here.

Massillon vs Glenville is an entertaining game thus far. 17-10 at the end of the 1st half. Glenville started slow but then in the 2nd quarter the big play ability took over and it wasn't Latwan, Christian, or Shane for them. Cardale has looked good and bad at times. Had some nice throws, and certainly throws with some zip. Shown great running ability as well, and he reminds me Pryor where he doesn't look like he's running fast but he's so long that he just chews up yards with his strides. Unfortunately, his field awareness while running reminds me of Pryor some too as he had a long run where he coulda got another 20yards easily but he stepped out of bounds with no one on him. He's thrown behind a few receivers at times as well. Massillon is playing TOUGH though, buncha scrappy kids. Bo Grunder(think?) has been lights out for Massillon on both sides of the ball. He's had some very big stops defensively on Foster, Anderson, and Bryant. He's broken up a couple passes with big hits. He's got the sole Tiger TD on about a 25yard TD catch over the middle in traffic where he made a great adjustment. He also had a ridiculous catch where he was laying on the ground on his side and the ball was going over him and he plucked it out of the air with his elbows on the ground lol.

I think for Massillon to stay in this game they're going to have to go back to the inside power running game that served them well at the end of the 1st quarter. They were able to move the ball and chew up some clock. That's what opened up some play action passing for them, and it also keeps the high octane Tarblooder offense off the field. Massillon can't win a shootout vs Glenville so i'd say that's their best chance for success.

edit: and to add to RB07OSU, Foster is looking like a beast out there. He probably needs to add a little more weight to get an OSU offer but he runs hard, has decent speed, and excellent vision. Those two runs he had were phenomenal(too bad the 2nd got called back).

31-17 Final. Massillon had their chances in the last 5mins. Twice had it inside the Glenville 30 yard line driving and just turned it over on downs after missing receivers in the endzone. Well played game though from both teams.

Hilliard Davidson vs Glenville next week for the title.
