Ohio State offers Blanks

  • http://floridastate.247sports.com/Article/Ohio-State-offers-Blanks-14509

    Ohio State is the latest to offer Tallahassee (Fla.) North Florida Christian defensive back Travis Blanks.

  • I'm already over Blanks.

    He has too much Ray Drew in him, minus the religious background.

    Give me those South Florida DB's

  • Is it too early to move on from Blanks and save us all the drama?

    I feel like we've positioned ourselves now to get outstanding players without having to deal with it.

    agreed
    Good player, but I have to say, he may miss out on a spot with us if he chooses to stretch it out. We'll be able to add great players as we move through the year, and may fill our class well prior signing day.

    By the way AZNole, that's a cool shirt in your avatar you have there. What do the symbols represent? Sacramento Kings?

    Nashnole, wish I could tell you, but I honestly have no idea. It is just a pick of Darnell Dockett that I found and liked using for my avatar. Dockett being the favorite player of my wife and I on the Arizona Cardinals.

    When we picked out jerseys for the games a few years ago guy at the Cardinal's store in the stadium says to my wife, "So I guess you'll want a Leinhart jersey, or maybe Fitzgerald?" She responds with a, "Heck no! Give me a nasty defensive player any day of the week, and a Nole...I want a Dockett jersey!"

  • I've seen him play several times, and have never been overly impressed.

  • I must have missed the drama. Why are u guys dissing him? His nAme has been floating around for a year. Satan and Richt visiting already is impressive. A 16-17 year old kid probably isn't prepared for dealing with biased media so what's the deal?

    Just a week ago another service had a piece on Blanks where he listed his Top 4 and FSU wasn't even mentioned. I'm not downplaying his abilities at all, just that it seems the games (ala Drew) are starting to surface early with him.

  • It's recruiting. Most kids (key word) change their minds 100 times before they actually make a decision on something. It really is just the way things are now. Not everyone can be Eric Beverly.

  • I think he is trying to find anyway possible to not come to FSU just like Drew.

    Bush....................I just don't agree man...........Kid is nothing like Drew is that IMO, This kid can play and if anyone on here tells you different they are not watching him play and see the potential he has...... At the end of the day not sure if he comes or not but i can assure you the coaches will save a spot for him...................Also I keep hearing people say we have Leggett and so on so lets move on. I hope we learned some lessons over the last few years nothing is a given.... Also no one is saying a word about the new write up on leggett he doesn't very solid to me, unlike he did when he committed saying he was shutting it down..........Bottom line these kids are still juniors and 16 years old for the most part.......Their minds could change 25 times between now and feb2012.........Travis Blanks can play and he is not R Drew.........................This guy is a big time need you can never have enough safeties/ corners..........IMO

  • I wouldn't say move on, but if he misses out it's his fault. Too many high caliber defensive backs in Florida this year to wait on Blanks.

    Who wouldn't be happy with guys like Leggett, Williams, Howard, Bush, Maye, Poole... and that's just in state and it's not even Spring yet.
