Agree with pnuts34. Kid has talent, undoubtedly. However, if one reads tOSU boards (specifically this one), one would come to believe that tOSU has probably one, maybe two 5* RBs all but locked up. Soooo, the question becomes, do I want to play and showcase my skills, or do I want to take a chance and maybe ride the pine. Not being in his shoes, I cannot say whether tOSU recruiter was slow-playing him, or not. Offer comittable or COMITTABLE? And maybe he doesn't really want to be a 'fallback' option. He might not ever be in a position to dictate terms, bathe in the glory, etc, so why not go where he will be wanted. Heck, as soon as he reports to campus, he's nothing more than a freshman player, and all that supposed glory goes away anyway......PS, he could always flip back to the Buckeyes :)
