It's not a defeatist attitude but rather a realistic view. Could the kid end up here? He very well may, but he also may be playing DI Basketball somewhere as well.
Realistic?
You're telling me its realistic to think a kid doesn't want to stay at home and play for his dad along with a coach who has been to the national championship at a program that has won two straight bowl games playing in a conference that just had the #1 pick in the NFL draft?
I am optimistic about many things. Thinking this kid wants to play for Ohio is not crazy talk pipe dreams. It is entirely realistic.
Pass the pipe, his father and brothers played at Nebraska, and as I stated he may be playing Roundball somewhere as well. News flash, not everyone who grows up in Athens wants to stay in Athens.
And this hanging on to a MAC player was number #1 pick has zero relevance to OHIO football, great for that young man and great for CMU, but has zero effect on us. You really think Frank is going to sit in a recruits room and tout CMU had a #1 pick? May as well tout hey, NIU played in the Orange Bowl, come play for us.
I'd actually put a little cash on this. Ohio v the field 2:1 odds for $100
