Just told from someone close that Dorian will look again at OSU, Pitt, and WVU. Still have to think Pitt is the favorite here, but it puts OSU back in the game again. He is still technically committed to Penn State but I would be surprised if that sticks.

Did Drew tell you this?

Northbrook: Shhh! You're going to expose one of Drew's "sources"!

Oh, my bad.

BTW, just joking Alex - I love your work.

With the rumors regarding he has financial problems, I just don't think he'll leave the state. He'll go to Pitt so his family can see him play.

Hopefully Urban can convince him otherwise, would be a huge get and fill a big need.

This would be a prime example of why I say don't throw out false accusations when it comes to recruits, and money, and what not. That we as a fanbase should try and remain above other fanbases. "Rumor" has it he has financial issues, so what happens if he commits to OSU, does it mean OSU put him on the payroll? Probably not, and just U.Meyer selling him on winning, turning him into an NFL prospect, and w/that if he toughs it out for maybe 3 years it will all be worth it.

Any chance he makes a decision fast enough to come to FNL?

Alex on 23 Jul 2012 - 11:31am #

can only hope so...he said he wanted to if a decision didn't come when it did...it's only a 3 hour drive so maybe he can make it

Thanks for the update, Alex. And as far as I'm concerned, you're the world wide leader. ESPiN is only the world wide leader in spin. Not substance.

if he comes to FNL, hes a buckeye IMO...if he doesnt, its up in the air, but Id like to think that Urban and the staff will put the heat on him and he will make another visit out to columbus sometime if not FNL

Just read on "TOS" that D.Johnson has just de-commited from PSU. If true have to think Urban is on line one.

Ross Douglas decommitted for sure as expected he would yesterday, I like how the NCAA is allowing students to transfer immediately disregarding eligibility rules. See if anything happens from that.
