Have we ever before had a recruit come in already sporting his own theme song and catch phrase? ROLL TIDE Derek! :BigA:

I love that shirt the guy standing next to him when he put the hat on was wearing.

Yes, the video was a little on the cheesy side and if he'd signed with the Barn and made the same video we'd all be vomiting. But I liked it and he did seem to have a strong family and friends support system behind him.

With Ryan Kelly, Trey DePriest, and now Derek, it sure does look like we are starting to build a pipeline through Ohio. Great pickup!

Nicely done commitment video. You have to think that ticked-off Urban and OSU fans more than the jerk from Miami.

From the commitment video you can tell he is a good kid with a good family around him. He seems like the kind of person who will be a great representative of the university so long as he doesn't have any major academic issues.

His highlight video was very impressive as well. He's got great size and athletic ability, but what most impressed me was his route running. He is very crisp and tight with his routes, which is pretty rare for someone his age.

Great pickup, and I will look forward to seeing him rock a crimson jersey for the next 4 years. Roll Tide!

Probably the most retarded thing I have ever seen. Let's just say if that's his baby maybe it's good we didn't get him.

Sad to see kids mocked or jeered; unless they disrespect a school outright, let the kid have his fun. I don't mind the hat switch although I'm not the biggest fan of it; but this kid didnt even do that. The OSU guy isn't even aware that is his sister with the shirt.

That's what I call "Cherry Picking" at its finest..Urban is going to have another breakdown with a couple more commitments like that..

Re: WR Derek Kief Announcing Decision Today at 4:30

I think it was really classy the way he committed. With his family and friends. Lots of support. It didn't seem to be all about him, which is what most kids want. Seems like a humble kid who has great skills. He high points the ball. Great foot control and presence. Not afraid to catch balls over the middle. Great concentration in intense game situations. Plus...speed kills.
Welcome aboard Derek. RTR!!
