I can't believe Ohio State is stealing kids out of Miami Freaking Florida!

And this kid is a top player, not a Rivals 2 or 3 star player!

Congratualtions Tressel,
You know that you can't play with the boys if you only recruit in B10 Country, nice pick-up.

Maybe when he's a junior he can show up at award banquets and actually win something.

OSU is a national program under Tressel, because you cannot win with only player's from your home state. Tressel has always a few player's from Florida!
