I love the part where he said he was so impressed with the Alamo victory but what stood out the most was that the offense was only losing the tailbacks....
Great update...

Mr. Such and Such
it may be advantageous to osu if gwaltny does announce at the AA game instead of waiting. if he waits, and coaches get in home visits, petey may work some of his magic.
of course the flip side is deciding immediately after his wvu visit may be problematic.
either way, this update makes it appear osu at least has a chance.

Ginn for Heisman in '05
By announcing on Feb. 2 he could be saying 'in your face ESPN'.

I have been struck by how many so-called experts accept as gospel that Gwaltney is going to USCum. "Don't get your hopes up. He's a USCum lock!", simply because of the reports that he committed while out there.
I have no doubt at all that he 'committed' while he was out there, at the famous stand-up-for-USCum dinner. I also have no doubt that he committed to WVU too. Why believe one is valid when the other is obviously not?
The only 'commitment' that counts is the one he signs in February. If you look soley at what is best for Gwaltney's career -- collegiate and professional -- tOSU makes a ton of sense for him. TOSU wants a big back [even had one win the Heisman a few years ago]; Columbus is closer to home than USCum but not significantly further away than WVU; he'd get tons of media exposure in 'big games'; and he'd likely play right away.
No brainer, Jason. Rock the world and announce with Mo Wells at the Army AA game!

All of the pieces fell into place immediately after his visit...it was not a huge reach to assume he was a USC lock. However, as kids are oft to do, he had a change of heart...MegaWoody said:
As for the experts, they are still split...some say he is still locked while others say USC is all but eliminated

This comment right here gives me the impression he is leaning towards OSU and that Wells is virtually a lock in my opinion. I believe at least one of these blue chippers come to C Bus.

Be water my friend.
If Jason wants to play in big games, then WVU is out of the picture no matter what he says. If that is truly one of the criteria then WVU loses.
They play the likes of Central Florida, East Carolina, Rutgers, UCONN, Temple, and Pitt. The Big East is going to be out of the BCS in a few years (if not next year) and that will be it.
It's not like WVU is going to be better next year either. They lose 3 O linemen along with their 2 best receivers and their QB. They might not win 5 games (although it is the Big East).
Jason can come in and contribute right away to a National Championship contender. While Pittman and Haw will have the advantage, if Jason isn't afraid of the competition then tOSU is the only school that makes sense.

If I have to go with my gut feeling, I would still say USC. He makes sense for their offense, believe it or not. USC needs a Lendale White type of bruiser who can keep the defense off balance to complements its finess passing scheme. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Haha, confirms my suspicion that verbals made during USC visits are much likely to leak than verbals made on OSU visits. We'll see, we'll see.

Stripes told me about the triple commitment over a month ago so it is legit info and not sour grapes before anyone makes that connection.wstripes said:

There is only one thing that matters...who he commits too on Feb 2nd!!!! USC is loaded at RB and OSU is not. WVU got handled by Fl St. in thier bowl game and OSU blew Okie St. out. IMO it has to be down to OSU and USC.

I'm all in for Oklahoma tomorrow night. Let's hope they give Petey a black-eye and muss up his Golden Boy image a little. That might be enough to tip Jason's scales.
Or perhaps Stoops could make sure it leaks from Youngstown that Petey's off to the 49ers after the Orange Bowl.
