Garrett's dad didn't accompany him to scUM, so he is visiting them again in a couple of days, don't know when though.

The source still believes OSU leads, but scUM is much closer than we thought them to be. Again, this is from a poster on a domer board, so take it for what it's worth. Also, this might be a week old news. But apparently, the 2nd visit with dad to scUM hasn't taken place yet.

This is a huge commit for my Buckeyes! This guy is going to be a major force in the trenches for years and I fully expect him to crack the 2 deep as soon as he steps on campus. Congrats to Mr. Goebel and as always GO BUCKS!

Montini's Goebel sets tone for senior season at Ironman
By Gary Larsen | Daily Herald 12/14/2007

Those Illinois heavyweights dreaming of winning a state title this year have one dreadful nightmare to get through first.

Defending state champion and senior Garrett Goebel of Montini may be hanging up his singlet in favor of an Ohio State football uniform next year, but he showed at last weekend's 59-team Ironman Tournament that he intends to leave a big footprint behind.

"I'll miss the meets," Goebel said of his departure from the sport. "But I probably won't miss the practices."

Montini and Glenbard North competed last weekend at the annual Ohio Ironman Tournament, held at Walsh Jesuit high school in Cuyahoga Falls. The Broncos finished ninth and the Panthers placed 17th in what many consider the toughest national tournament in the country.

Top-seeded Goebel won his second consecutive Ironman title at heavyweight after placing second at 215 as a sophomore. He posted a pair of pins before winning a 4-0 semifinal decision over fourth-seeded Nick Cook of Virginia's Fauquier High School, setting up a title match against seventh-seeded James Meder of Ohio's Parma Valley Forge High School.

"I didn't pay any attention to the seeds. Whoever you wrestle is tough," Goebel said. "Most of the guys I wrestled wanted to keep the score close, and they wrestled smart matches."

The match went into overtime tied 1-1 before Goebel threw Meder for the only takedown of a 3-1 decision. Last year Goebel used three pins to reach the final before winning it by 7-0 decision.

In two years of Ironman competition, no wrestler scored an offensive point on Goebel.

"He just has a relentless attitude, and I'm very proud of him for fighting off some rust after football but still winning that title," said Montini coach Mike Bukovsky.
