akronbuck;1086109; said:another thing I got at the beginning of him talking on ONN. He said, he graduated from school already and ended it at that. So mods
or fans is he at OSU now or is he waiting for spring quarter, he didn't say or I missed it:(
We listened, and what we heard is that Hazell absolutely loves the trio of wide receivers in this year's recruiting class, beginning with Jake Stoneburner. The very first thing Hazell says about Stoneburner is to forget about anything you've ever heard about him being a tight end.
"He is not a tight end," said Hazell matter of factly.
"You see all these (recruiting web) sights that have him as a tight end but he's a receiver. He's a wide receiver who because of his size people label him as a tight end," said Hazell.
At the national signing day press conference OSU Head Coach Jim Tressel ran a cutup film featuring highlights of all the incoming signees, and Stoneburner's highlights confirmed what Hazell said. Stoneburner is definitely a wide out. In high school his team ran bubble screens to him. It looked a little funny when a screen play went to a 6-5 guy, not some little scat back, but the laughing stopped when Stoneburner got the ball. He had the speed and moves to make big plays, and that's what Hazell sees in Stoneburner. That, and incredible hands. Stoneburner's highlight reel included several one-handed, eye-popping catches that went for big gainers.
"He's a guy who can bend, he goes up and gets the ball, he can run, he's got quickness, he's a true wideout at 6-5," Hazell said.
Stoneburner will create matchup problems for any average to even above average sized defensive back, and that had Hazell grinning. And Stoneburner was just the starting point.
Really? What makes you think that?Apache;1087253; said:He seems to be a great kid. I don't think they (OSU) see him as a Tight End however.

Quickness;1087415; said:The WR coach at OSU does not know what he recruited in Stoneburner? Hmmmm! I would say his words, Hazell, would be as honest and true to the truth as anyone. He is the one that recruited him and was very excited at the press conference when he spoke of Jake's athletism.
