really? there is nothing of this in Cbus Ohio......

Get 'em young, eh?

Although if the dude is 6-7 and 303 lbs. as a sophomore in high school, I can see why you would. Damn.

Well, good gracious, the kid's like 15, there won't be any word of him in Columbus for another year and a half. Just a local paper trying to play up a high school hero.

The only recruits you hear about here are the O lineman they landed and the big IF that is Pryor....

This isn't exactly the right thread for it, but does anyone have any good information on why the 2 defensive backs have been suspended from the team for the BCS Championship Game? I think that's better T&R fodder anyway than some giant high school sophomore.

Washington (starter) and Clifford (backup who sees decent playing time) are who I am referring to. The timing of this is horrible.

Not sure what the deal is, team rule infraction, is the most I've heard. Washington is a loss but Chekwa will fill in just fine. Clifford got some snaps but not enough to make a difference....

Official word is "unspecified rules violation." There are rumors on some boards that it involves possession of a substance, possibly marijuana. But that would contradict the official statement that this is not a legal matter.

Here's the newspaper report:

By Ken Gordon and Tim May
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Ohio State starting cornerback Donald Washington and reserve corner Eugene Clifford have been suspended for the national championship game because of a violation of team rules, a source close to the team confirmed last night.

There were no details on the nature of the violation, except that it is not a legal issue.

2010? We cannot begin to discuss the things that could change or happen between now and then? This is just stupid.

Wow, Truth and I agree on something. Look up folks, and check to see if Jesus is a comin'.

As an aside, that kid's mother deserves a medal. Must have been like popping a bowling ball through a garden hose.

"Must have been like popping a bowling ball through a garden hose."

Best I've scene today, thats hysterical! LMAO!

HAHA!

yea never heard of him but if we land him.and if he is any good. our 2010 O line will be the greatest o line in the history of college football.
They are all gonna be 6-7 310+
that is definitely the biggest 15 yr old ever

By 2010 shouldn't Orlando Pace Jr. and Herbsteit's kids be ready?

Sign the duffers now I say!

Truth: Funny. I think Herbstreit's kids are more like 2015 to 2020.

The kid should go to FSU for the education.

How'ld you like to be the poor 195 lb high school sophomore who has to line up across from him in a game...

...or worse yet, the poor 170 lb scout team lineman who had to line up opposite every day for practice...
