Ex-Ohio State recruit says Urban Meyer didn’t recognize him on campus

Four-star high school football recruit Bruce Judson decommitted from Ohio State in October, but the reason for his departure is a bit abnormal. Judson claims he started losing contact with Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer as soon as he gave his verbal commitment. And the lack of inclusion got so bad that Meyer didn’t recognize Judson when they passed on campus, Judson said, leading to his decommitment.  “Long story short, I was walking in the hallway about to go to the indoor field and work out,” Judson said, via SEC Country. “He (Meyer) was like, ‘Hey.’ I looked around. ‘Come here.’ He was like, ‘How you doing, you like your visit?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ Then he’s like, ‘What up Richard LeCounte? Are you showing this guy (Judson) around?’ “I was like, ‘Coach, I’m showing him around.’ He asked me, ‘Who are you?’ I told him Bruce. He said, ‘Oh, Bruce Judson from Florida. The speedy guy.’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘I’m glad that you’re on board and glad you got up here.’ After that, I knew I was decommitting.” LeCounte backed Judson’s story, but mentioned he thought Meyer was making a joke because Judson was wearing Michigan colors. Judson didn’t think it was funny. “We had met face-to-face before at a satellite camp,” Judson said, “so he should have known who I was, especially with me being a commit.” Judson, a 5-9, 202-pound “athlete” prospect, has numerous offers still on the table, led by Alabama, Auburn, Florida and Florida State.
