RB DeaMonte “Chip” Trayanum (==> Kentucky ==> Toledo)

[RB07OSU]

Really think DeaMonte has a bigger future and potential NFL paycheck on the defensive side of the ball. But its his decision to make and if he wants to play RB, then have at it. I have been to ASU's campus a number of times and as @brodybuck21 pointed out, there are certainly worse places to land (and as @BuckeyeNation27 pointed out, the most glaringly obvious being Michigan or PSU). I am definitely going to root for this kid to tear up the West even though I would have loved to see him in Columbus.

Huge miss IMHO

We didn't offer as a RB because we had RB's higher on the board still. Plus the staff sees him as a LBer.

Can't help but wonder if he could be revisited and recruited as a RB down the road now that they missed on their bigger targets.

Just found myself wondering the same thing, but this kid may be to jaded and won't be receptive

Anything can happen, and of course with an Ohio kid, BUT, he seems really happy with his decision. He's become one of their key personalities in this class, along with Chad Johnson Jr.. ASU looking good on and off the field, could make it harder to turn the tides.

OSU has snubbed 3 offered recruits at Hoban... which probably was not lost on a superb Off tackle gone to scUM nor the TE going to Bama...
becoming the perennial powerhouse in Ohio, we need to fix that

DEAMONTE TRAYANUM, RB, ARIZONA STATE

Height: 5-foot-11
Weight: 220 pounds
Hometown: Akron, Ohio
Ranking: Position (23), State (5)

Barton’s Take: Get ready for freshman skill players to be making plays all over the Arizona State offense. Trayanum is going to get the biggest workload of the bunch though. He's a big, physical workhorse type that should start immediately.

Attempts are being made as fast as they can be on that side. Good stuff.

Get whatever top talent you can, coach them up and let’s improve this defense.

Is Trayanum better than platinum?

Ah, wit that is not of the “nit” variety!

Ricks is still a head scratcher but other than that, yes.

just a reminder everyone … I dont think he’s a plug and play.. he’s moving over from RB to LB … like Steele … it might take him some time
