    Yes, but thats not different than some of the other DL guys getting offered. Hankins may not be as ready to play compared to Floyd but teams like Bama, UF, and OSU just don't throw around scholarships.
  • darbypitcher22
    Thats true
  • Tinkertrain
    The big question is whether it's an offer Hankin's can commit on....... Just because you have an offer doesnt mean that the school will accept your commitment. I'd be willing to bet that Hankin's is a fall back plan for Florida and Bama.
  • devil1197
    An offer is an offer.

    Most respectable schools will honor offers that they put out if Hankins will commit.

    Whats the word on the qb from Illinois, and does anyone know who is in the lead for Braxton Miller from the c/o '11

    ^ Graham is just fine not sure if he is still recovering from his injury this past seaon but he is coming to tOSU. Braxton will take his recruitment pretty far into 2010 if not to signing day. I think it will be between michigan and ohio state, but many think he is a buckeye lock.

    James Louis and Corey Brown are big time wide recievers... and if you mean literaly josh shaw is 6' 7" so he is pretty big. Corey Brown will turn out to be the best reciever in this class i think.

    Also, Christian Bryant is the most underrated of the group devil posted to start this thread. We do not want to lose him.

    Don't forget about Chris Fields-redshirted this year- I guess JT had pretty lofty words about him.

    Tyrone Williams is the 6'7 WR.

    I wish we had Josh Shaw though lol

    Braxton Miller should be an OSU commit next season. Pryor will be going into his SR year and OSU won't have that big time recruit already on the squad but not playing. Meanwhile, UM will have Gardner, Forcier, and Robinson all to compete with.

    I think OSU didn't go after Gardner because they knew TP was going to be here 4 years and that Braxton Miller was waiting in the distance.

    -The Floyd race is heating up down at the AA game. Its between OSU and UF with Rivals stating OSU has the lead but UF could pull the surprise. Supposedly he has been talking to Easley alot recently.

    Gators will get Floyd, Hicks

    Who you hearing from the UF camp that Floyd will be a Gator?
  • devil1197
    Latest from Mike Farrell:

    "He keeps telling me that OSU is in front and a player told me yesterday that he was all Ohio State so it would be a little surprise if he chose the Gators, but after Easley anything can happen.

    He's always been a straight shooter so far, doesn't look for attention or doesn't seem to like to play the game.

    Make Farrell is wrong about every time. But I hope he is right this time.
  • OneBuckeye
    SpeedofSand must be smoking something Hicks will go to either Texas or OSU. Floyd is not going to florida.

    You really think he is wrong all the time?

    My nephew is 6'2" 320 # with a 4.0 GPA. He's a JR and from what I've heard he's a beast on the O-Line, and plays D-Line where he's not as good, but still hard to account for. No offers from anyone, size isn't everything.

    Powell and Floyd will announce for the Gators during the game. Hicks on signing day.

    Who did you hear that from? I've hear that Florida fans believe they will be getting Floyd but every piece of news points to OSU.
  • Speedofsand
    just from Gator insiders. Floyd to UF has been gaining momentum this week. Powell has been a Gator for awhile, Meyer's leave had him concerned but now it looks like he is solid. Hicks was heavily 'recruited' by all the Gator commits at the Under Armor game. Dietrich Riley will be a Gator. Demar Dorsey is a Gator commit but grades could send him to WVU.
    I'm a little skeptical, because of coaching changes, RB coach Carter and Vance Bedford to UofL with Strong. Heater named D.C. today, and we got D.J. Durkin from Stanford.
  • devil1197
    Speed, I have been hearing the same about Floyd but I think it may have been to late for the Gators on him. It seems that the OSU insiders and national analyst believe Floyd to OSU while UF insiders believe Floyd to UF.

    We'll see on Saturday.
  • j_crazy
    Never rule out Urban Meyer until signing day. That guy's a smooth talker.
