WTF? Good news if it comes to fruition
It...
... remained appropriately unreferenced in a thread about a 17-year-old boy?
If Wiltfong ends up being right on this, who is more likely to end up at LT between Eichenberg and Kraemer?

Ohio State doesn't feel he's "slipping away" - but Wiltfong is the best in the business, he's not prone to going out on limbs often. We'll see in a few weeks.
This was a response from one of elevenwarriors staff members about Eichenberg
Man they are riding quite high over there aren't they? Lotta shit talk about 2012 from a team that has their own history of being blown out in Championships.
Eichenberg looks more the part of a LT i would say but in saying that Z Mart never looked like one either and did kinda ok![]()
I like the one guy who was a complete realist talking about ND's academics and then some idiot tries to tell him osu> ND in academics...
Knowledge is universal. The rank of a university is based on perception, the quality of the professors, and the quality of the students accepted into the college. State universities usually rank lower than private universities because they accept more students and hire more professors. They have a lower overall average. They teach the same material. Harvard professors do not have their own "Ivy League" information to exclusively teach their students. It's a con.
They posted in TV this week that Wiltfong was close to changing his mind. I get the impression that he's/they are hearing something. Good news for ND.
That and the typical angry BK photos that they like to pull out every time they get beat on a recruit. It's their way of coping.
My favorite angry coach pic is woody Hayes punching an opposing player ... So coping.
The best post of all was this gem. Thank God I've been enlightened. Now my son can go to IPFW and get the same education as Harvard.

The funny thing is, the poster has a point. But its irrelevant. Football players aren't sitting around in the library voraciously reading everything they can get their hands on.
If you are talking about the "value" of the degree, the usual measure is reputation in the hiring and grad. school admissions communities. ND beats OSU there pretty handily, with some notable exceptions for a few scattered majors. ND only loses the overall reputation battle to Stanford and Duke (i.e., all else equal, I would rather go into an interview with a Stanford degree than an ND degree, but an ND degree rather than an OSU degree).
But if you are leaving reputation aside, and talking about commitment of the school and staff to making sure you actually take real classes, and actually study, and actually graduate, ND wins even bigger. ND beats everyone in this department.
I think you have discovered a theme. Woody used to claim he was ND's best recruiter. He purposely didn't schedule ND, out of his respect for the large number of Irish Catholics in Ohio. So when he felt he was losing a real blue chipper, he would steer them to ND, so they didn't end up in Ann Arbor . . .
True story.
