If your a 5'5 150 pound slot reciever would you be considering a pro style offense? Hell no you wouldn't!

6-4 (probably more like 6-3) 340 (probably more like 360) is fat. I'd want to measure and weigh him myself before offering.

HAHAHAHA!!!! I didn't even notice that!

Carter looks enormous, but he seems to move pretty well. . . trim some baby fat off him and he could be solid.

Safety Damian Swann from Georgia is the latest offer.

It is nice to see OL and S are the top priorities. However, we need more DT offers.

Interesting that Harley and Holts have not been offered yet. There must be some issue.

It looks like OSU has a different strategy this year than previous years. Most of the kids that are offered are consider ohio state highly and could be early commits. There are only a few national offers like Wilder, Dorsett and a couple of LBs. Especially at safety it looks like they will be going for a first one in gets the spot mentality a la Texas. Looks like they are going that route with the OL too... except most of the OL offers kids are huge OSU leans.

^ Yes. That is the strategy this year and I have no problem with it.

We need 5 OL. We have offered 4 in state and 1 out of state (Bobek) that are all the same calliber. Take the first 4 of those and then hold onto one for a bigger fish.

I believe OSU offered Aaron Lynch, DE/OLB, from Cape Coral Island Coast HS

Just happened on Feb. 18 according to scout.com.

I watched him play several times and have spoken to him before. Real good kid. But an intense player with a good work ethic.

He's about 6'5/6'6 245 lbs. Still growing.
