In the O-Zone feature on Rob Rose, he seems pretty confident that Ray will be at Ohio State on Monday for class.

Rose will compete in the North-South game on Saturday, report to Ohio State on Sunday and begin classes for summer quarter on Monday. He will, in fact, have a roommate, and fortunately, it's someone who is familiar with his fastidious nature. Rose will room with his former high school teammate Ray Small. Rose says that Small might not quite measure up to his standards for tidiness, but he'll do.

"We requested it," said Rose of how he and Small ended up roomates.

In BSB last week ,Small said he was fully qualified academically and would be moving to OSU on june 18th. Also. said he stuggled on his test scores, but brought them up and was cleared by the NCAA standards with his graduating gpa of 2.7.

All Smalls words on BSB but, BSB has always been solid and can't say the same about some others

Small was unsure earlier in the week if he would play in the Big 33 due to a lingering groin injury but is now confident he will play tonight. According to Small, the staff has told him to enroll on Monday at tOSU and that he retook the ACT on the request of the staff but he is already qualified.

Making grade goal for receiver
Entrance standards at Ohio State leave Small’s future murky

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH



Raymond Small hopes he doesn’t become the latest in a string of Ohio State football recruits who qualify academically under NCAA standards but are not admitted to OSU.

The receiver from Cleveland Glenville signed a letter of intent with OSU in February but said he now is in limbo. He has moved to Columbus and is living with fellow Glenville alum and Buckeyes receiver Ted Ginn.

"I’m hoping they let me in," Small said. "In the worst-case scenario, I’d have to go all the way back home and go somewhere else."

Both Small and his highschool coach, Ted Ginn Sr., say he has met NCAA qualifying standards.

"I think (Small) is going to be OK, but it’s on (Ohio State officials)," Ginn Sr. said. "It depends what they think. You know how it goes."

In recent years, Ohio State has missed out on a few potential recruits as it gradually raised its admission standards.

Two years ago, the Buckeyes turned away running back recruit Dennis Kennedy, who immediately went to the University of Akron. Last winter, Glenville linebacker Freddie Lenix could not meet OSU’s standards and is now at the University of Cincinnati.

Ginn Sr. said he supported OSU’s tougher standards.

"I think that’s good on their part," he said. "Now we have to raise our standards. We have to do a better job in high school."

Small, 6 feet and 175 pounds, was a first-team All-Ohio pick last season and considered one of the top 10 receivers in the nation.

Penguins are coming


Speaking at a football camp in Youngstown on Monday, coach Jim Tressel confirmed that OSU will be playing Division I-AA Youngstown State. It had been expected since May 2005, when he first told The Dispatch it was a goal of his.

"Hopefully we’ll announce the YSU game before the season starts and all the preseason hype starts," Tressel told the Warren Tribune-Chronicle. "I’m expecting us to play YSU two times in the next five years."
