Virginia Beach Bayside stars RB Taquan Mizzell (2013) and DB Quin Blanding (2014) are trying to make it to OSU for Friday Night Lights on 7/27. Mark them as tentative for now, but this is a good sign.

This is good news. Hope they can make it. And it is 7/27, correct?
Alex, do you think the staff would want Smoke Mizzell as more of a WR than a RB?
Correct 7/27.....
I think Smoke is definitely a dynamic player--kind of similar to Elliott--so not sure if they'd want him over a guy like Green...nothing wrong with a bunch of speed though
I see no problem with taking them both, in case one of them.. you know, Jamaal Berry.
Alex - Do you know if OSU will be providing a program (or handout, etc) at FNL? It'd be nice to put a name with the number on the back of a jersey..
I'm doubt they will but if they do I highly doubt it has info on camp attendees (f that's even allowed which I doubt)...if it's allowed I guess they may do it though?
Hmmm.. it almost seems pointless to go.
Dont see how it is "pointless". You get to go see some of the most elite highschool talent preform for one, and secondly you get to represent the Buckeye fanbase. I think its kind of like our Spring Game in that recruits see the passion in the fans and how we can fill up a stadium even if its just a practice. I think it goes along way in recruits feeling welcome and at home. Then those kids go home and talk about how crazy the atmosphere was here in Columbus, and word spreads and more kids want to visit...plus its football in July..
