Didn't an OL or TE named Gardner (2013 class I think) also earn a scholarship by fulfilling the requirements? He didn't have a brother who was an all american on the team though. But temper your expectations. I am happy Hooker got a schollie though.
My expectations have been tempered, it's not like I said he's the next coming of Mike Doss. But praise is deserved for going to camp and earning an offer from the school that you really want to attend. He could have very easily committed to a number of schools that had already offered him, and not to the school that his brother has put a stamp on. I don't for a second think that Urban would offer Marcus based on his brother, our scholarship numbers are too tight and he's not that type of coach, though I believe Tressel would've offered him because of Malik.
