Andrew: Is there anything else you would like to say?
Demetrius: Yeah, I don’t know why but some people think my offers from UCLA and Ohio State aren’t committable. They are!
A huge positive for Ohio State fans is that Demetrius has been posting pictures relating to Ohio State. For example he posted a picture of an Ohio State he got on July 21st. Also, on July 23rd he posted a customized picture of him with the Buckeye stadium behind him. Ohio State is highly recruiting him so a commit from Demetrius would be a huge catch for the Buckeyes. I am excited to follow Demetrius through the recruiting process. below you can see his Highlights.
I dont say this lightly… He is the best and biggest and most important target left on the OSU board. There are guys ranked higher but this one is a must get without a doubt.
