The Front Row

Is TOSU kind of reaching for a guy. His yards per catch seem good but only 15 catches last year seems awful low. Was this kid hurt or whats with the catches.

Perhaps the reason he is rated so low is because of the small number of catches last year. Maybe he was injured and saw limited playing time. Perhaps he's an absolute beast that will blow up this year. If that isn't the case, and we really are reaching for these 2 and 3 star prospects, maybe Fick should start reaching for a position of need like offensive tackle.

His HS team did not have a good passing game. Lewis completely tore up the camp circuit this summer.

Roger let me know that he won't be visiting Ohio State today like originally planned because his mother had to work. He hopes to get to Columbus soon.

I first saw Roger at the Sound Mind Sound Body camp in the winter at the University of Michigan. He was awesome. He was then really good at the Ohio State NFTC. He played cornerback at the New Level Athletics 7-on-7 National Championships and was one of our top performers from the weekend. He's a talented football player that could help a team on both sides of the ball. I know West Virginia likes him in the secondary.

Roger? I guess you are a friend of his? Forgive me for not knowing.

For my 2 cents, I like his size and he sounds really fast and athletic. I am not too worried about his lack of catches, remember Ted Ginn Jr. was a Corner and a qb all through HS, and I'm sure we would love to have him back.

I agree on all that has been said about the true picture HS stats provide. But I did not see anyone take light of the fact he scored 7 TD's with 15 catches...

It is so much about athleticism, Bas. Getting to camp and showing good measurables, showing he can catch the ball and has the basic aptitude to run routes and get off the line of scrimmage. You get better with reps but so much about this at this stage is natural ability.
