someone should let Rittenburg know that Braxton is already enrolled at OSU....


from his recruiting needs column
OHIO STATE


Quarterback: Ohio State needs someone to take the snaps during Terrelle Pryor's suspension, and it's unknown whether Joe Bauserman or Kenny Guiton will be the answer. The Buckeyes also must address life after Pryor in this recruiting class.

Just like Pryor, Miller's best fit is as a WR.

That one kind of surprises me from Ritt.

The column basically was a needs list for each team. I don't think he was taking any recruiting data into account for any team.

It was a dumb article to release the week before signing day...then not include any info regarding current recruits. I can see not taking into a account a verbal but if a kid is enrolled and taking classes...might as well cross that need off the list.

Best in the Midwest: OSU's Braxton Miller the next Terrelle Pryor?

A 12-year-old Braxton Miller sports his Western Ohio Junior Football Springfield Broncos uniform.

Tom Bolden was excited on Aug. 24, 2007, his first game as head coach of Cincinnati Colerain, a national high school football power.

His excitement multiplied when his defense knocked the opposing starting quarterback from Huber Heights Wayne High School out of the game late in the first half.

"We thought, this is pretty good," Bolden said last week. "You never want to see a kid get hurt, but we knew the extent, and he wasn't going to be hurt too long. We thought, we know we got them now, they've got to go with their backup.

"He came running out, we looked at the roster and said, hey, this kid's a freshman.

"We're in business."

That was the last time anyone said that about Braxton Miller.

The freshman, who had moved to Huber Heights from Springfield, Ohio, before high school, went from unknown to well known in that second half, connecting on 10 of 15 passes for about 150 yards.

"He came in and basically the whole second half he was pretty much running for his life, we were getting after him pretty good," Bolden said. "His ability as a freshman to break tackles and continue plays and make something out of nothing, when any good athlete would have been tackled, was absolutely phenomenal to see. We said this kid's going to be absolutely amazing."

Three-and-a-half years later, Bolden is glad now he can cheer for Miller, already enrolled at Ohio State as the key piece in the 2011 recruiting class and rated as the nation's No. 1 dual-threat quarterback by Rivals.com and the No. 2 overall quarterback by Scout.com.

It's the realization of that freshman promise that has made Miller the Free Press' 2011 Best of the Midwest top player. Ohio State refused Free Press requests to interview Miller, saying the quarterback would not be available to the media until Wednesday's signing day.
