Danny Hope landed his sixth commit for the 2010 class by getting a solid verbal from Josh Davis, a 6-6, 270-pound defensive tackle from Plain City, OH.

Davis is a defensive tackle, yet was inexplicably photographed holding a football as though he is a running back. Josh is a Scorpio and enjoys his PS3, chocolate milkshakes and hand jobs in the back of his mother's Chevy Tahoe.

Actually that whole last sentence isn't true. At least, not officially. But let's be honest -- who among us doesn't appreciate a good chocolate milkshake followed by a rub and a tug?

I did enjoy this opening line from the story:

Ohio defensive tackle Josh Davis didn't want to be thinking about college when he was still attending high school.

Yes, indeed. What a drag.

Is it me?

Or are we recruiting 100% better than last year.

Oh, and I will believe that last line on his profile. Although, he seems more like a strawberry milkshake and XBOX 360 kinda guy.

it is 100% better.

i don’t know if we even had our first commit a year ago at this time. We’re getting guys that can contribute immediately too. The parking lot behind Ross-Ade is the perfect place for a rub n’ tug, as well. — T-Mill via phone from Skagway, Alaska

Last year was a mess

Hope was trying to recruit to a program he wasn’t really running… he was trying to sell them on his idea of how the future could look. That’s pretty hard when Tiller and the old methods of thinking were still entrenched. Now the kids see he’s in charge and hear what he’s saying and see it backed up. I think that goes a long way… the energy, the commitment, etc.

So no, it’s not you. We are indeed in better shape on the recruiting trail. Keep the faith.

Also, I found this silly.

the Plain City Jonathan Alder senior-to-be made his choice Monday afternoon bq.

Does that mean he is a judge for home design shows in Ohio?

I looked up the name and got this:
