Guiton to be a Buckeye?

Just got off the phone with Ray Evans, the head football coach at Eisenhower High School in Houston, regarding when everything is going for Signing Day. He said the Eagles likely will have 15 or so players sign Wednesday morning in the school gym. But the most interesting thing he said concerns their quarterback, Kenneth Guiton. Once considered almost a lock to go to Kansas, Guiton is grabbing attention from, of all places, Ohio State. After the couple backouts earlier this week by other commits, apparently the Buckeyes' thoughts turned to Guiton. Guiton isn't the biggest kid - 6-2 1/2, 175 - but he's efficient. He has thrown for almost 4,000 yards the past two years and Ike didn't lose a single district game.
Apparently OSU was over at the school yesterday and will be talking to him again tonight. If the offer comes, it might be tonight.
He's also considering Wyoming and has been offered by Prairie View, so I've got to think if coach Jim Tressel (or whoever is down here representing the school) offers Guiton will take it.
As most of you know or have discerned over the past 16 months, I'm an unabashed Buckeyes fan. I'd love to have the likes of Kenneth Guiton wear the scarlet and gray, not only because of his athleticism but also his character.
If anything comes up, I'll let you know.
