Allen Gant, Charles Woodson's cousin
There is a kid that goes to my school named Allen Gant who is only a freshman but is already a very talented reciever and cornerback and is already listed on scout.
http://ohiostate.scout.com/a.z?s=145&p=8&c=1&nid=4080383
6 foot 1, 190 pounds as a freshman, not bad.
Scout also had this to say "Great looking young prospect who played a big role in his teams state championship as a freshman. Plays like a veteran player with great body control and skills. Could grow into a major prospect."
Unfortunately for us he seems to have no desire to follow in his cousins footsteps and he basically was on his knees for sweater vest when he came to the school because we won states this past week. This may not be a big deal if he doesn't turn into anything close to his cousin, but if he even has half the talent, it will be a shame.

What a freshman in high school who is probably a major Bucks fan does when he meets Tressel has no meaning in 3 years time. If he's a 5 star prospect, he'll be treated like God by every coach in the country.

Snake oil works wonders.

his dad played for Bo.

He's also a major Buckeyes fan and had an uncle play for Cooper. Also worth noting he's related to Woodson by marriage.

beanie wells was a Michigan fan, really doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.

True, and we should also remember this kid is on track to be the top player in Ohio in 2012. He's going to be recruited by everyone... and the dad is a major advantage in that situation that he probably isn't now.

"That kid IS BACK ON THE ESCALATOR"

It's not a schooner, it's a sailboat!

Shaun Joplin, a senior reciever Michigan is somewhat looking at also goes the school so if he chooses us hopefully the frosh gets some guidance

Rod you go to Southview I assume. Jeremy Rowe still a coach on the team? I played on the first 10-0 team and I honestly didn't think it would happen again for a while. Nice job representing.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:33 PM ^
i fully expect him to go to Michigan despite what that article (a buckeye article mind you) says. they said the same thing about JT Turner and look where he's headed.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:33 PM ^
Cougar Nation reppin the 419. And yes, Jeremy is still a coach there. What year did you graduate?
December 9th, 2008 at 9:44 PM ^
2004. Started defensive tackle, broke my ankle and didn't play until the Defiance game where we lost. I am surprised Jeremy returned after his brother graduated since him and Mayzes never got along. He actually quit before two-a-days started and then came back.

Great looking young prospect
great body
Could grow into a major prospect
That's what she said.
No wonder Tressel is interested in this kid.

December 10th, 2008 at 7:24 AM ^
I knew Amanda well.
December 10th, 2008 at 7:42 AM ^
my sister
December 10th, 2008 at 9:36 AM ^
Small world. So I take it you know Bubba?
December 10th, 2008 at 11:08 AM ^
Southview sucks! Go Wildcats :)
December 10th, 2008 at 11:28 AM ^
The only two things better about NV than SV Jeff are your girls and the fact that you guys have a pool, and maybe hockey and tennis. Sorry that was 4.
December 10th, 2008 at 12:38 PM ^
I never actually cared that much about SV vs NV. I think because the junior highs split up, so I had a bunch of friends from Arbor Hills who were at SV. I just couldn't read all this SV talk without representing my Wildcats.
But I do agree the girls at NV were a lot better.
December 10th, 2008 at 12:30 PM ^
Bedford will always be better than all those Toledo and Sylvania schools =)

I'm sure R2 will don the wizard hat and break out a phresh bottle of snake oil recruiting Charle's nephew.
However this thing about worshiping the sweatervest from his knees quite disturbing.
December 10th, 2008 at 1:08 PM ^
Do any of you think that C-Wood won't do a bit of recruiting himself?
3 years off is a long time.
December 10th, 2008 at 1:16 PM ^
what is your name?
December 10th, 2008 at 1:19 PM ^
Need to familiarize himself with the *hardware* CW received his junior year. I'm sure he has seen the 97 season montage of our winning season. Besides the fact...no one helmet are a cool as ours.
