WR Ricquan Southward (Official Thread)

[Buckrock]

Tressel actually insisted that his commits go ahead and take their other officials if they could. But, Tressel isn't the coach now...wow, that hurt just to type that.

His HS Coach should be able to help this young Man. He's already made one switch. It's getting late in the game. "Dont miss out on a Buckeye in the hand for a Gator in the bush!!"

Southward and tOSU scholarship limits

With everyone trying to figure out how many 2012 scholarships remain, now that the NCAA stuff is final, I'm wondering about the current status of Southward. He plans to visit other schools [Florida] and there are rumors about his academics not being in order.

What's the best guess right now on Southward actually being in the 2012 class and the likely effect on the reduced scholarship count?

FWIW, we only had 79 scholarship players last year.

Southward is in this class as of now. That's all we know. As I've said, I don't like to speculate about certain things...transfers and the academic status of recruits being two of the biggest ones. If he wants to be a Buckeye and takes care of everything in the classroom, he will be in this class.

It?s Lakeland senior wide receiver Ricquan Southward?s highlight tape on Vimeo. Opening play is pretty sick. Southward, an Ohio State commit, goes over the top of a defensive back and comes down with the ball for a score.

Check out the 2:40 mark, too, where he takes a punt back 55 yards for a touchdown. The thing you?ll notice on that play: Southward?s vision.

Scout $ - Mike's Take: Florida Top 100 (41-50)

Cracks the top 50.

Interesting. A lot of highly ranked players lower than him(Jordan Diggs, Noor Davis, Evan Goodman, Travis Blanks, Latroy Pittman).

He does look talented, we'll see if he signs with us on NSD.

Wish we could get a visit from his teammate, Evan Goodman, who seems to be looking around...

Agreed. I look forward to seeing him, and it's also good to know his academics are in order. :)

7th Buckeye LOI is in!

 

[Merih]

YES! This kid is gonna do things here, mark it down. So glad he made it in the class.

 

[Taosman]

He became even more important with recent off field troubles of another recruit. A solid kid.
