Just spoke with A.J. Rose's coach and will have a full story that I believe you will like. He confirmed that Ohio State and Michigan are enamored with him but he emphasized, "I really believe he's going to Kentucky." The coach sounded in awe at that, really, and credited Marrow and Stoops with making a stellar case when he visited. Rose "just trusts them," and besides, he wants to play running back. Those other schools are hinting they like him at OLB/S. This coach was raving about Rose and his running style, saying he's a glider that's faster than you think. He believes he will ultimately play around 6'3, 230 pounds after a year or two in college, and he'll carry the weight well. Says he's both a slasher that can break big ones and pound out tough yards. Scouting Ohio is a web service in the Buckeye State and they've got him as the No. 1 athlete in Ohio.
His coach compared Rose to Eddie George.
