Dunn just said he has made no decision about leaving OSU, however, he made a point in stating that Michigan was not a lock on the number two spot. To paraphrase he said that nobody knows anything.

I talked to Dunn and his dad during the OSU spring game this year that I attended with my cousin who will be a freshman for OSU this year. I was in the recruit hospitality section and sat next to Dunn and his dad. I brought up ND to him and he didn't seem to excited by it. I told him that I am a ND fan and I wished he would have thought more about ND. I just don't think there is much interest from them.

Things have changed since then, some people don't like to be put on the spot when they are watching a spring game, Perkins said there would be 2 more ND committs, and what is a Irish fan doing at the buckeye spring game when less than 200 miles away the Irish are playing theirs?

I will try to remember it myself, but I was just kidding when I posted that, you know, kind of adding to the sense of irony.

Does anyone remember when the Opening was going to be on, and what channel?

Boy, we sure do have a lot of iron around here!

His 40 yard dashes just aired on TV. Two 4.5s laser timed. ESPN guys just called his speed "flat out scary" for a rush end. That's what I like to hear! Expect him to get a big bump eventually... only the #39 athlete right now.

Perkins just finished #7 overall, #2 LB just behind Keith Brown. Pretty damn impressive display. Also had the best power ball throw.

Perkins just looks like a beast.

Baxter had the abdominal resemblance to Perkins.

I know that sounds strange, but the kid's core is intense...

Proof, minus the gay look in Dillon's eyes... He was USC bound, looking back: (;))

So glad you found a pic of his hair. Thanks.

Now as for the hair...awesome.

The fact he is willing to sport that will bode well for us. His confidence in the Irish projects on to the other recruits, I'd think.

The kid did shave a shamrock into his head for this week. If that's not enthusiasm for the Irish, I don't know what is.

Don't have a pic, but per ISD it says "Irish" inside of a shamrock.

I'm very excited about this young man. I know he's not rated highly (as of right now, anyway), but the kid just looks like an athlete. I'm being too lazy, but didn't he take home best or I sh ould say top honors at the Nike camp in Columbus, OH.?

pkt77242: Staring? I stared at my neighbor today. She called the cops.

OK, I need to quit my job as an English enforcer. I'm really just a cute and vulnerable deer.

I'm actually better at math and physics.

Wait a tick! You guys **** on me all you want but I have read about him referring to himself as "BOOM" ... I just now was starting to watch my DVR of day one. ESPN posted his name as BOOM Perkins. I really do not care if it has been covered to the depth but all other nicknames are now out the window! If ESPN is going to refer him as BOOM for his first then its a done deal. I LOVE IT!!!
