    We hear so much about the dark side of recruiting these young men. It's good to hear a story about a kid attracted by something other than false promises....to me it says as much about the kid as it does the good guys! 8)

    Wow, great pickup for the already loaded Buckeye class! Sounds like a good kid as well.

    that does sound like a great pick up. I wonder if ESPN will now say he is a defensive back since he committed so soon? :p

    Nice story. Great kid. Shows a lot of maturity and humility....two rare qualities in 18 year old superstar HS athletes..

    Oh don't you know it!! I hate those recruiting services but ESPN's is the biggest joke of them all.

    Next thing you know, the kid's level of competition will be questioned.. then the next thing you know, you will have beaten out Ball State, La Monroe and Iowa Pre-flight for his services..
