Recruiting Tips from boobs

This may or may not mean anything but, I was at the Cincinnati Zoo this past staurday May 9th with my daughter and son. While passing the new education center, walking up the path toward us was none other than Jordan Hicks and a girl. What is significant is that he was decked out in Ohio State gear and colors:osu:. I acknowledged him and said I hope you choose TOSU, he said "Yes Sir"

After the Rico McCoy incident I don't really take much from what gear a recruit is wearing. That being said, I'd rather hear a story like this than to hear about him wearing UT garb.

I'd advise that everybody be more careful in saying that we hope you come down to OSU because of NCAA recruiting violations. I am not sure what the rules are, but that seems like its on the fence.

A chance meeting like that woudn't constitute a violation, provided born2baque didn't try to persuade him to go to Ohio State. His saying "I hope you choose OSU", in passing, is safe enough...probably about as far as he could've gone without falling on the other side of the fence, though.

I'll take this as a positive any day. I know it could totally mean nothing, but I would believe the longer this kid waits, the better it is for the Buckeyes. By the time the season starts Texas will have there 25 recruits already. Not that they wouldn't leave a spot open for Hicks though. Hopefully USC or another school doesn't emerge as a challenge.

I REALLLLLLY HATE THE NCAA. i will tell a kid anytime i hope you choose osu and how in the hell are they ever going to find out. THAT MAKES ME SO ANGRY TO HEAR STUPID STUFF LIKE THIS. GOOOOO WORRY ABOUT WHAT USC IS DOING. I MEAN UNREAL.... like it really matters what a random person says to a recruit

m*ch*g*n, what's that? Offer #228? :roll1:

Not counting the 10 commitments:

Rivals: 30 scholarship offers out
Scout.com: 51 scholarship offers out

I hope Roderick realizes he's one of many with TSUN and if you walk and play football, more than likely, TSUN will offer you a scholarship.

I know some recruits frame scholarship offers. Framing one from TSUN equates to framing a Chinese restaurant menu.

Weeks ago, according to Beaver, they were in the one teens, he's been reporting anywhere from 5-6 new offers every couple days since then. Like jwins said, they have to be approaching 200. M*ch*g*n is the new Illinois.

Since we're already well off topic:

I believe they're north of 180. ....... 80 off, 100 def, give or take a few.

I don't think anyone has ever offered the entire rivals250 before, or even the scout100, but the fans said they needed a huge shake-up to the program.
