Who's Kelvin Grady
Click to expand...

Kelvin is a Michigan basketball commit that is Kevin Grady's cousin... I believe he is one of the better QB's in the state as well...

Michigan fans can complain or say what they will, but TW had an offer from them, so their staff was indeed interested. Happy to have him as a Buckeye. I rewatched his films this morning and the guy reminds me a lot of Santonio (I believe someone mentioned that earlier)... He's a playmaker...

Some TTUN pm'd me (why me I don't know, unless other folks got a similar one) stating that the whole thing is an elaborate ruse intended to stick it to osu/fsu and both will announce for michigan. I figured most would get a chuckle out of that.

Well you can let him know he's 0-1 as of now, Allen made his verbal official to FSU earlier today.

Hey, Doug!

Got an Ohio State question? Send it in. Plain Dealer Ohio State beat writer Doug Lesmerises will choose several to answer each Sunday. Submit your question to www.cleveland.com/heydoug. Read Doug's answers each Sunday here in the sports section. All of Doug's answers are archived online.

Q: Hey, Doug: Any updates on recruiting for the '07 class? - Richard Figgish, Strongsville

A: Hey, Richard: Receiver Taurian Washington would bring Ohio State's 2007 class to seven players, with rivals.com reporting his oral commitment and Duane Long of scout.com saying he's certain Washington is in the Buckeyes' camp. Scout.com has yet to officially list him as a commitment, and Scout's Michigan site quotes Washington as saying he'll announce his pick between Ohio State and Michigan on Tuesday.

Washington would be the most significant OSU pledge so far, with Long comparing the 6-foot, 180-pound receiver with a 4.5 40 time to former Buckeye Santonio Holmes. But the impact is not just the who, but the where.

Washington plays at St. Mary Prep in Orchard Lake, Mich., the same school that brought the Buckeyes freshman safety Aaron Gant. It's also the home of cornerback Dionte Allen, who recently chose Florida State over Michigan and Ohio State, among others. Those are three big home-state losses, potentially, for the Wolverines.

"Michigan cannot afford to lose players like this," Long said. "Ohio is a lot bigger football state, so if Ohio State loses a blue chipper, it's not nearly the big deal that losing an in-state kid is for Michigan. This is major for them to lose these kind of players."

Defensive tackle Joseph Barksdale, 6-6 and 323 pounds, is another top Michigan player targeted by Ohio State. Long thinks Barksdale's choice will come down to Ohio State and Texas.
