As I have mentioned before, one of the top players in the Midwest is supposed to decide today where he's going next year. Ohio defensive end, Adolphus Washington, is supposed to choose between Ohio State, Michigan State, Alabama, and a few other schools. He did visit Michigan State and he appears to be friends with current Michigan State commit, Se'Von Pittman. So MSU has a legitimate chance.
But let's not get too excited just yet. First of all, he was supposed to make his choice almost 2 weeks ago and then decided to postpone his decision to today. That could happen again today, since there have been some key developments in the football world that could affect Washington's thinking. One development is the rumors flying around that Ohio State is trying to hire Urban Meyer as their next head coach. If Washington was thinking of choosing MSU, the possibility of playing for Urban Meyer could easily alter those plans. I would not be surprised to see Washington at least choose to delay his decision as a result of these rumors.
Anyway, it does appear that Washington was always going to choose OSU -- all recruiting services say that OSU is his top choice. But you know what? When someone asked Gandalf if there was ever any hope for Frodo and Sam, Gandalf responded with, "there was never much hope, only a fool's hope." Well, we all know how that turned out. So, here's to a fool's hope.
Update: Washington committed to OSU, so I guess a fool's hope wasn't enough. This time, Mordor wins. Oh well, there are still some other great prospects to hope for.
