Gary Housteau posted over on BN that Boone should find out in a few days whether he will be able to enroll early at osu or not. I'll see if I can dig up the link.

Boone coming in early would be a very good thing. Rehring came in early and he is getting ample PT.

Ronnie Wilson and Cordle are also coming in early. It looks like the OL will be a dog fight for PT next year. Maybe that is what needs to happen.

It appears Boone's school wont allow him to graduate early. BUT Gary Housteau said on wednesday that boone was meeting with school administration to try and graduate early; hopefully that works out.

Edit: I see this has basically been posted already, but it didn't say anything about the school being against it.

This was an unofficial for him while his official will be on Dec. 10th.

He was overwhelmed by the crowd and visit. He can't wait to play in front of a crowd like Sat..

He hung out with Kevin Bemoll and Ryan Williams the most. They had a nice dinner together.

He also tried to recruit MoW. He told him that he needed to come to tOSU.

His principal and guidance counselor have told Alex that they are not sure yet about him graduating early. Hopefully he knows something soon. His goal is to start at tOSU next year. :)

Division I AP Offensive Player of the Year

http://www.cleveland.com/hsfootball/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/sports/110181069162790.xml

Boone, whose dominance at tackle has earned him a scholarship to Ohio State, garnered a share of the big-school Offensive Player of the Year Award on the 2004 Associated Press All-Ohio high school teams for Divisions I and II.

St. Edward's tower of power, the 6-8, 320-pound Boone was so impressive that he edged out some highly productive skill players in grabbing a share of the Division I award, a rarity for an offensive lineman. He graded out at better than 90 percent on his blocking assignments, did not give up a sack and totaled 47 knockdown blocks during the regular season.

"I never imagined anything like this," Boone said. "I don't know what to say. I'm so honored and so grateful. My teammates were so special, that I'll never forget the time I spent with them."

Alex Boone is in C-bus for his official visit. He is very excited and says he can now start calling himself a Buckeye. :)

JT just met with St. Ed's principal in an attempt to try and help him graduate early and enroll in January. He is optimistic now because he believes that JT said what needed to be said and the principal understands.

Mangold is hosting Alex and he will get to hook up with some of the other recruits (Jim Cordle, Brian Hartline and Doug Worthington).

scUM continues to recruit Alex- great quote from Alex

"Michigan is still annoying me," he said. Hopefully Michigan will get the clue. Maybe they don't read the papers -- I guess not.

Another great quote

"I'm going to have to tear myself away on Sunday when I have to leave," he said. "Every time I go down there I just want to stay. It's amazing. I can't wait to get down there."
