Have you thought about the situation with Seantrell Henderson from the coaching standpoint? Bollman will not be his coach. Does he know that? Is Bollman being his coach part of the decision, or does Bollman not being the offensive line coach have something to do with his interest in Ohio State? By the way, I know there is a story out there that people who know Henderson think he is leaning toward USC and point to his visiting Notre Dame and Ohio State for USC games as the reason they say that. What??? You are a person who knows Henderson but his visit schedule is how you figure out where he is leaning? When was he going to visit either school other than for the USC game??? Ridiculous. Dismiss that report. He may indeed pick USC but there "people who know Henderson" are anything but.
I don't know if you saw this but Mickey Andrews will not be back as DC at Florida State. Ask yourself this question. If your son, nephew, any kid that is coming to you for advice,
would you tell him to get into all that uncertainty at Florida State just because it was closer? I have not heard anything but I would bet LaMarcus Joyner comes down to Ohio State and Notre Dame, not Florida State. He has shown himself to be a level headed kid. I bet he is concerned about what is going on with the Seminoles. Bowden is on shaky ground. Now the DC is leaving. I am concerned with teammate Brandon Lindner seeming to be enthralled with the Fightin' Irish.
A senior to watch late is Jayrone Elliott from Glenville. I saw a good bit of film of him recently. He is looking more like Jonathan Newsome. In fact, I think if we had a full boat of offers this year he would be odds on to get one. Looks great in his senior film. I don't think he can be a strong side end. Size was always an issue with him. If he could be a strong side end he would be odds on to get an offer anyway. I really hope Brian Kelly gets up there and makes an offer. I would hate to play against him for 4 years.
Speaking of Glenville, Christian Bryant and Shane Wynn will be Buckeyes. So will Latwan Anderson if his grades are in order. Both Bryant and Anderson have very very impressive senior films. Having 2 elite safety prospects in the same class really does my scarlet and gray bleeding heart alot of good.
Another senior just off the radar that is having a good year is Leveon Bell from Groveport. He is a big back that I was not impressed with coming off his junior year. Mark Porter nudged me a couple of times to give him a look again. I found he looks leaner and is showing better feet. Not a Buckeye caliber player but a clearly improved player.
Eric Franklin is having a great senior year for Mooney. He has cut what looks to be about 25 lbs off his frame. He is moving really well. He is playing so well that I would like to hear that the Buckeyes are in contact just as a fallback player. We need to add a couple of offensive linemen.
When I look at the offer to Shane Wynn I scratch my head wondering why we would offer him but not Andre Givens. Same kind of player but Givens is bigger and maybe faster.
