Tom VH: Chris Freeman?
It seems he has fallen off the radar, but wanted to see if you had an update on what his plans are? Could be a good interview!
He is only 3 stars but has a nice offer sheet including: UCLA, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Nebraska, Mizzu, and more.
He also hasn't taken any visits which seems strange. Maybe some academic issues? (just a guess). I know he only has played football for a couple of years but he is 6"7 325 and seems to be worth the risk for a big possible upside. As we all know, he also plays at Trotwood Madison in Ohio a big feeder school for us last year.

good question.

He's definitely still on the radar. I would say he is one of our best shots with the OL prospects. He's going to start taking officials soon, he took an unofficial to Michigan already. There was an article that said he looked like a kid in a candy shop looking at all the people. The reason he's only a 3 star with good offers is because this is his first year playing football. He's going to be a project, but he's got huge upside. I think the Trotwood connection is helping, the unofficial helped, and we've got a really good shot at getting him.

do you know how the season went for him? I think in mid-September people were saying that our interest cooled on him as the reality of his inexperience set in. His frame and athleticism are great but right now he is a long term project, to the point that he wasn't consistently starting on his HS team this season.

Thanks Tom. BTW: How did RR get the connection at this school? Did he recruit it at WVU or is this something new?

Brandon Moore was our first Trotwood kid in the recent past, and he committed with Lloyd. I think RR just picked up from there.
