Javonte Jean-Baptiste was a signing day commit to OSU over NU. He only has one year of eligibility remaining, but I wonder if NU would have a look. He played well in spot duty in their semifinal game.

I cant remember, Is he related to Stanley Jean-Baptiste? Did some google searching before posting, and it seems not. Anyhow I think we were in the running for him coming out of college.

Surprised he only has one year left. That doesn’t seem too long ago we were all really hoping to land him. Was a 4 star LB coming out of high school.

Yes, would be an excellent addition to the roster. There's a lot of really good players yet in the portal that could help out next season

Yes- he was gonna sign with Nebraska that morning, school got canceled for weather I think in New Jersey (Bergen Catholic- teammate of Rahmir); Urban Meier got him on the phone since he was off school and talked him into going to OSU.

That’s the story I remember hearing.

Yeah, that sounds familiar now that I mention it.
