Would be surprised if he is offered by tosu that he wouldn't commit to them.

 

[swg]

tOSU offered him as a DT. It's a long ways away, and obviously, Bennett needs to consider several criteria...coaching, scheme, current players, recruits, comfort zone.
He does seem to play it pretty close to the vest, but yeah, I'd say the Bucknuts look good so far.

 

[swg]

His top two so far sounds like Northwestern and (wait for it)...osu.

The folks from centerville are big time osu fans, hard to see him choosing anyone but them.

They're a bunch of big time jerkoffs too. Can I say that on here?

Absolutely.

Michael Bennett

The first two players that come to mind in the state of Ohio are Donovan Clark from Cincinnati Finneytown and Michael Bennett from Centerville. Bennett has received his offer already from the Buckeyes. The question about both is about size. Neither are ideal sized offensive linemen but when I see bigs with the explosiveness and athleticism of Clark and Bennett, I give them a look on defense first anyway. I am happy to see the Buckeyes offered Bennett as a defensive tackle. You can always move down a DT to offense. I would like to see an offer to Clark. I see the same kind of player. Both are so explosive and disruptive. Clark has a similar early offer list with the exception of the Buckeye offer. He was an invitee to bowl practices and is definitely on the Buckeyes radar. He is in no hurry so time is not a problem.

Likely not able to come for UC junior day due to track.

How good is the UC pre-med program? Someone posted on a bucknut board that he wanted to be a doctor.

Nebraska has offered.

 

[swg]

Thus far, he has been to UC, OSU, Ball St.

He does plan on taking more visits. I think while OSU led at some point, he is definitely open to looking around, taking his time, and give careful consideration to several schools.

 

[swg]

Arizona offered.
