Thank You!
Readers, We would both like to thank you all for reading our work the past couple of months. Neither of us thought this blog/site would grow at such a rapid rate. We are both excited to announce we will be joining the recruiting team at 11 Warriors effective immediately. Both of us are extremely excited for this new opportunity, and hope you will read our work over at 11W. We plan on keeping this site up in case anyone wants to check out some of our old updates. Once again, none of this could have been accomplished without each, and every one of you, as well as the prospects who were nice enough to take their time to chat with us. Thanks again! Go Bucks!

Last weekend’s Ohio State camp
Last Sunday I attended the Ohio State one day senior advanced camp. I was unable to stay for the duration because of a personal matter but I was able to see a good portion of the camp. Lots of studs were in attendance which included the likes of Tyquan Lewis, Vonn Bell, Darron Lee, Caleb Day, Christian Morris, Lovell Peterson, Kyle Meadows, and others. Tyquan Lewis – Lewis definitely looked the part. A very physically imposing player that also had the speed to go along with his size. Lewis and Pantoni seemed to have a great relationship. Lewis was definitely a man amongst boys among his position group. He definitely impressed me. The Buckeyes would be getting a great player if he joined the class of 2013. Vonn Bell – Vonn Bell to me was the best prospect out there at the camp. He is very quick and had great feet in the football drills. Urban Meyer showed up to the camp for a short bit and exchanged a few words with Bell. Urban at one point asked Coach …

Recruiting Notes: Alex Anzalone Update
By now almost everyone knows the situation with Reading (PA) linebacker, Alex Anzalone. There is no need to re-tell the story the occurred about six weeks ago. The only thing of importance is the fact that Anzalone is still considering the Buckeyes, and the Buckeyes are still very interested in Anzalone. I exchanged a couple of messages with Alex to see where his recruitment stands. Visiting Notre Dame today (6/14), he will only be there for a day. Alex visit Ohio State on the way home from Notre Dame. He told me, “We’re going to try our best to get there.” He also added they’d need to leave Notre Dame early Friday morning for this to happen. Alex has already been on campus three times, so there is not much left for him to see. So why is he visiting again? “I want to talk to the coaches in person,” Anzalone told me. Other visits this month: “We leave for Florida Saturday to see my grandparents. While I’m …
