Your U.S. Army All-American Bowl Open Thread

Ezekiel Elliott, Evan Lisle, Johnny Townsend and Eli Apple rock the O-H-I-O in San Antonio this week
Time GAME TV INTERNET FAVORITE
1:00pm US Army All-American Bowl NBC   East (4/5 OSU commits)

The granddaddy of national high school all-star games is upon us. Full rosters here. Refer to the master schedule and players of note for other bits. Kyle is in San Antonio for the game at @KyleRowland.

The East squad (black), coached by Louisville Trinity's Bob Beatty, features four future Buckeyes:

  • DB Eli Apple (Voorhees, NJ)
  • DL Michael Hill (Pendleton, SC)
  • OL Evan Lisle (Centerville, OH)
  • P Johnny Townsend (Orlando, FL)

East also features WR James Quick (Louisville, KY), a 6-2, 180-pound burner considered to be a top-10 prospect at his position. He'll be choosing between Louisville and Ohio State this afternoon.

The West squad (yellow), coached by Cibolo Steele's Mike Jinks, features Ohio State commit Ezekiel Elliott (St. Louis, MO), who has seen time at running back and defensive back in camp this week. Linebacker Mike Mitchell (Plano, TX), a freak of an athlete and one the country's top outside linebackers, is expected to choose Ohio State today.

Saw someone from 247 tweet that both Mitchell and Quick are announcing in the 4th Quarter. Quick at the start of the 4th, Mitchell after the 3rd commerical in the 4th. Supposedly.

I am actually looking forward to seeing Townsend punt today.  The kicking in the UAAAG was pretty bad even though the giant kicker is going to be my new favorite non-Buckeye for the next four years.

How do Mitchell and Johnson compare to Anzalone and that other LB that briefly committed to tOSU in the spring?

I'm not surprised about Quick likely heading to Louisville.  Its his home town, I get it.

I am really glad we have Elliot and think he will really provide a different style of RB than what we have on the roster.

That being said-- I really think Derrick Green is going to be special on the college level. Even though he has been a bit of a primadonna during the recruiting process, I like his story. He lost all of that weight to become a RB when the coaches wanted to put him on the O Line. I really hope TSUN gets him because he is a big need for them and he would really elevate the rivalry by making Michigan a better team. I know some fans take the approach that they would like Michigan to lose every game, but I think a better Michigan creates a better BIG and a better Ohio State.

Makes all the positive reports we've heard about him this week even more promising. Reminds me a lot of Andrew Norwell's recruitment. Both guys knew they wanted to be Buckeyes with as little drama as possible. Let's hope Lisle slots in as quickly as Norwell did.

That was a nice tackle by Mitchell on Green. We know Mitchell is ours and I believe Green ends up playing for TTUN so he will get more chances to smack him down in the future.

Because they wouldn't let me go for 3!

I agree Derrick Henry has looked like the best RB to me in this game.  Although the announcers will remind us who the #1 and #2 RBs according to rivals are on every carry.  Couldnt imagine being in high school and having to tackle a 6'3" 240 lb runningback, but I guess thats why he has 12,000 yards rushing

Yes I look for UFM & Co to close strong on these guys! It is so refreshing to see a closer at HC of tOSU. I loved Tressel but he was NOT a closer!

Because they wouldn't let me go for 3!

FWIW- ESPN is reporting that Wilson is not going to visit tOSU, and is firm in his commitment to oregon.

Hayze on 5 Jan 2013 - 4:40pm #

That's because Wilson told the media that.

The info that Wilson might end up visiting OSU is from a couple inside sources over at 247 sports.

Nothing official of concrete though.

Not seeing anything on ESPN right now but I am also not an IN member. Link please? I have heard from multiple sources he is re-opening his recruiting up in the next week and tOSU is top of the list.

Because they wouldn't let me go for 3!

That reminds me of the Wisconsin game when Braxton Lob it to the endzone to Devin Smith. Man I wish we had quick!

Ohio State's band SLAUGHTERED Michigan's band. If this were a football game, it would have been Florida State vs. Savannah State. - SB Nation following OSU vs. UM 2012
