That appears to be the case initially a wait and see approach possibly? Ohio coaches seem from the outside looking in to move at their own pace in recruiting. Granted they have been on the road doing camps for the last few weeks when I spoke with the Hocking College coach he felt like these other schools have been on the ball more so than OU. Of course the saying goes "If you build it they will come". And because Hocking College is literally in OUr backyard they should have instant and regular access to any prospects.

Flip side of your argument is that Ohio is on a record setting pace for getting recruits. Didn't LC state earlier somewhere that Ohio's record for reported commits by July was 6 and Ohio right now is already at 11-12? From afar at least Ohio seems to be all over things recruiting-wise.

Establishing a relationship wouldnt hurt. With Juco its not like many kids are immediately eligible. The point being if Hocking College is going to be bringing in athletes here to play in OUr backyard Ohio should be the first to have eyes on them And not Marshall or BGSU.

He was 17 and served his time then graduating with honors. I would say a place like Hocking College would be his only shot. Statistics say that if juveniles who commit sexual crimes are caught and rehabilitated they rarely if every recommit. I'm pretty sure he is under strict protocols.
He's not even allowed to live on campus. Be it right or not, anything involved with that case will draw negative publicity (moreso from those hilljacks trying to cover it up than the offense itself). I fully get that he did his time and graduated, and he has the right to continue his education, that's just a lot of baggage for quite possibly the last college in the state that needs it.
They get national attention but probably not the kind they wanted.

What I don't get is how the other student who was convicted served his sentence and rejoined the football team. I'm all for rehabbing but unless football is absolutely the ONLY thing this kid has going for him, it seems letting him back on the field is inconsistent with the morality the school should be teaching. Plus opposing fans will probably bludgeon him on the road.
