You guys are getting me fired up about this kid! He sounds like exactly the kind of OL we need to get and keep getting. Enjoy the trips to Notre Dame and Ann Arbor Alex so you'll know you've made the right choice in commiting to THE Ohio State University.

Gary Housteau just did a good piece on Boone on BN.

The thing that jumped out at me the most was that Boone reaffirmed his commitment to us 5 times during his interview.

It's safe to say our endzones have Alex Boone painted on them in the familiar scarlet and gray hue.....

I can't wait to see Boone line up next to this guy along with Person in a couple years.

another tidbit from the article that was nice to hear was his respect for Bollman and the fact they talk weekly

I agree 86. It was very nice and rare to hear someone give respect to JB.

How'd you like Boone's training regimen and partner? :lift:

Very impressive to say the least.

very nice- it looks like he is really getting himself back into shape after his elbow injury last year :)

it also sounds like he has alot of respect for Hennis- maybe those two end up being bookend tackles for tOSU??

Boone no longer a Buckeye cinch?
-------------------------------------------------

OUFans.com

While Lakewood (Ohio) St. Edward’s offensive tackle Alex Boone concedes that it is likely he will ultimately be a Buckeye, he said he is no longer committed to his home state power. The 6-foot-8 296-pound Boone has decided to open up his recruitment and that’s good news for the Sooners.

Although, I'll believe it when a credible source says it.

"I'm undecided where else I'd like to go on vacation this summer and fall."<!-- / message -->

I think it is more than that, he is not going to ann arbor and norman for vacation! He didn't say, I'm committed but am still going to take my visits, time to worry about this one.

I agree that it's time to worry about this one. A kid doesn't say that " I think it's obvious that I'm not going to stay solid" when he is just looking around.


Unbelievable. I like to think that I'm up on a lot of other schools recruiting, and I just don't see commits waver the way they do for OSU. :smash:

Earlier in the thread his coach says that "if he were just going to look around I don't think he would go to Ann Arbor or South Bend, he'd probably go to FSU or Miami." He isn't just going on vacations, folks.

Oh, please. No commits ever demcommit from other schools? You can't be serious. The reason it seems like OSU has a lot is because we follow the minutia and the details of every OSU recruit. If you did the same for other schools, you'd see they have the same kinds of things happen.

FWIW, both Rivals and The Insiders still list Boone as an OSU recruit. I imagine we'll hear more from Mr. Boone in the near future, maybe after camp.

For those of you who thought that Boone's announcement was "new news", check out this article from Duane Long dated April 21st:

Offensive lineman Alex Boone has been an Ohio State commitment for about ten months, but he has indeed decided to take a look at some other campuses. One of those is the University of Michigan, which he checked out this weekend.

"I will go take a look at Oklahoma and Notre Dame," he said. "They offered today."

Boone ended the conversation by stating that he does still intend to become a Buckeye.
