ND optimism

IMHO I think we end up with this kid, he could very well see imediate playing time as a freshman, and talk is he is and OSU lean.

I wouldn't be so certain. Barksdale seems to be one of those quiet types; he hasn't said much to make me believe he's favoring anyone in specific. I was pretty confident about our standing with Barksdale until I heard that all these rumors were going around that OSU is in the lead.

Does anyone know whether Barksdale has been interviewed yet about his time in Columbus?

Also, I have to disagree with the person that said something along the lines of "Barksdale didn't have a good time in South Bend"---from what I hear, he did. At the same time I'm a bit worried that too much of our spring game was oriented toward Jimmy Clausen, I think some of our recruits may have felt a little alienated by how much attention he was receiving.

Alright, well, of all the statements I made the only one that comes close to requiring a source involves Barksdale's visit to Notre Dame. So here's the article that left me with the impression that maybe he didn't have a bad time as someone else suggested:

I just think it's odd that you refer to my post as sourceless optimism when the basis for some OSU fans' belief that Barksdale is a Buckeye lock all come from message boards. I'll have no problem taking all of this back the moment someone shows me an article in which Barksdale says OSU is the leader.

Provo, it is just that this website is for the BUCKEYES and people do not like it when someone from another school comes on here and SOLELY talks about another schools chances with a prospect. Just so you know for future reference, so I would watch your statements about ND's chances. Each thread I have read of yours has been about ND's chances.

Yeah, I came pretty much to see what the opinions of the Buckeye faithful were on prospects that we share a mutual interest in, like Barksdale.

But, since I'm clearly not welcome, I'll leave.
