The praise is nice and all, but "bend" "body quickness" and "naturally strong" are the kind of recruiting and draft lingo that drives me insane.

The kid is big, strong and athletic, but anyone can say that so I have to use made up phrases that mean the same thing but are fancier and make me seem more like an expert.

Measured in at 6'5 in bare feet and 312 lbs...very impressive. Gerald is already a true brute, so once he redistributes some of that weight with Coach Mick, I really think he is going to be an overwhelming force for us inside.

Like that he is red-headed. The last red-headed OL worked pretty well for us, if I recall...

Visiting this weekend. Also out for the season due to a hand injury.

Strong possibility that he's transferring to IMg Academy in Florida to face better competition in order to be prepared to play early at OSU

Does this mean he'll have Florida speed?

I thought IMg was more like the football version of Oak Hill to basketball. A minor league for college sports and sending kids everywhere

No reason for concern here...all Buckeye...

Naturally, when new opportunities begin to arise, there will be concerns from Buckeye fans that maybe the commitment will consider them. Gerald said he does intend to make official visits next fall but that doing so will change nothing in respect to his college plans.

"I'll probably take my official visits," Gerald added. "I might go enjoy a few games but I'll always stay loyal to my Buckeyes. I can't wait to develop into an immediate impact type of player for my boys up in Columbus, and I can't wait to be a Buckeye."

Gerald plans to enroll at Ohio State next January.
