'09 OH OL Sam Longo (Ohio State Verbal)

[AustinScottistheone]

Do you think Sam's father or Sam himself would be opposed to him playing inside on the OL at guard? IMHO I don't think the staff should spend hardly any time on him because if tOSU were to suffer a defection late [very rare, ditto for Penn State...Michael Shaw recently though] or if tOSU has a scholarship late in the game I think they would use it on Sam and build on the OL depth/talent.

I'm not so sure about that. Sometimes kids reward loyalty. Sometimes.

wadc - do you still get a sense that Sam like PSU? Would you say we are in his Top 5? Thanks.

Not going to camp hurts his chances of that late OSU offer...and gives the edge to a guy like Bujnoch, Anevski or Klatt...

I will do some digging on Sam and see what I can find out...I know the FSU offer is big.

So, he isn't going to camp now? If not, I doubt he gets offered from OSU.

He said point blank that he is not camping at OSU because he will be taking unofficial visits during that time...
