Where are you drawing that line then? Oh hey, how tall is that junior QB... let's watch these highlights of this HS stud, does he have the hips to play corner in college... that guy just transferred HS's because his teammate stole his girlfriend... this guy's going to be on campus this weekend... woah, is this RB as ripped as Beanie was as a sophomore?? These conversations are happening constantly in the recruiting forums, and we see all their cool tweets, because we love this game and want all the details we can get.
Checking the OSU directory seems pretty tame compared to a lot of the attention we get (and shoot, OSUFB tweeted pics as soon as some early enrollees hit the WHAC), and ultimately it's about the best confirmation of what we're all wondering: is he a Buckeye? Is it official-official?
