Still, since he hasn't chosen another school it is possible that Bowden pulled the offer. Not likely, but possible. I would think that anyone Toledo would want UA would also. The offer wasn't pulled.

I'm really hoping we get a verbal from him. Bubba Arslanian has a walk on offer from Ohio State. His recruiting situation so far seems somewhat similar to the Hunter Renfrow story.

I'm sure Dabo is lining up to build his roster with 2 stars now. Some guys fall through the cracks. I find it amusing because we suck so bad at recruiting that you have to point out the exception and not the rule just to make yourselves feel better.

I can't say I know for sure but I doubt Darren Rovell had the Zips in mind when he made that observation nor did I. As matter of fact I found it kind of amazing a walk on could have that kind of an impact on a major program. Kudos to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens just like free agents from small colleges that succeed in the NFL. Nobody truly ever knows how a player will translate at any level, but players are typically rated a certain way for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I've become less optimistic after seeing that OSU wants him, even if it's as a walk-on. Unfortunately, OSU can make a pretty strong case that he could get playing time and end up on scholarship seeing that Joe Burger (also a LB) went there as a walk-on and was a four-year letterman, who eventually wound up on scholarship. Plus, he's from one of the most affluent schools in the state, so I'm going to guess that his family has the means to be able to afford OSU's tuition if he wants to go there. I hope I'm wrong on this, because the kid is definitely a great football player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you upper middle class, it's hard to turn down free versus the cost of full tuition at OSU. If money is not an object, he might take his chances at OSU.

infofan Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Looks like Barto verbally committed in June of 2016. Did he rescind that now hes reconsidering Akron? Edited January 14, 2017 by infofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Will Barto's still an Akron commit. He's just coming on his official visit. He wouldn't have to take it, but I'm sure the U pays for most of it, so why not come & just have a fun weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
