Funny how recruiting works...tOSU told him last week that he would not be offered. He then talked about facing Jacoby Boren this season and proving he was better...

Now he is offered.

 

[Cavfan89]

Just committed according to Mark Porter.

 

[osugrad21]

Wow. Sudden turn of events...

Nope.

Mark Porter says yes...Simone Scott says no.

...and The Bank has now spoken with him...no commitment. However, according to the BN guys, he will commit tomorrow in person.

Great offer, and hopefully soon, great commit. We need all of the O linemen we can get now. There's still some quality players in OH, we're just gonna have to dig a little deeper to locate them due to the off the field issues

Now he is offered.

Capo, what's your take on this kid?

From the brief highlight video posted above, it looks like the refs do a better job of getting in his way than the defense does lol. He fires off the ball and stays fairly low, and looks good pulling. If he's already committing - then he definitely wants to be a Buckeye which is good enough for me if the staff is offering.

Capo, what's your take on this kid?

What I've seen and read...I like the combo. Kid has a nasty streak you don't coach. In the Rivals article last week, he talked about whipping on Boren...I like that fire.

He is a wrestler...always a plus. He is lean up top with a solid lower body. That is good.

Folks are looking at this as an OL offer but don't commit him there...he reminds me of Bellamy with a touch of Tim Anderson.
