We would have to be ranked #1 for centers in the position rankings if we got him to.

That's my guess as well.
This kid would be a great get. I think that we may have a decent shot if tOSU does not offer.
I know everyone is in a hurry to sign up a buch of big uglies with Caper and Baker in tow, but have faith and some patience in Coach D and his staff's offer process. If you can just wait 2-3 more weeks, we will have a great crop of kids to pick from on the O & D Lines...

Bucknuts story
Here's a free Bucknuts story on him from la st Fall:
http://bucknuts.com/news/story.php?article=1944
One thing about those Ohio kids, there's always free information about them on the web that you can google.
He sounds like a Buckeye fan. But that's not unusual for Ohio either of course.
Another link with a profile of him:

You can get a 4.0 in high school by being very smart or you can get it by working hard. HS is easy enough that you can work your way to a 4.0. Therefore, this kid is most likely a hard worker and that's a plus! Besides, 24 is pretty dang good. Nothing to be ashamed of at all.

Exactly right, probably a good sign that he works his ass off.

Klatt seems like more of a guard than a C. . . . just my opinion.
People who think Treadwell will be playing D, I kinda doubt it, we'll have Worthy as a RS frosh, Pickleman as a RS soph and 2 Jr.s at DT (like the depth). He wouldn't crack the 2 deep till his RS Soph season.
I see Treadwell playing C after nitchman graduates in 2 seasons.

The above article from JJHuddle raves about him being a rare true center, so you'd have to think he'd end up there in college if he's that good snapping the ball.

IMO that would be Treadwell who is more of a guard than a center.
Klatt is definitely one of the most pure centers in the class this year.

Thanks!  However, I'm a bit surprised that they have him as a 4* given that list and how much offers weigh on rankings.

He was injured last year so that has affected his offers.

Ah, I see. Thanks.
Sparten00: I just scoured Bucknuts and there's nothing on there about Klatt since the middle of May. Where are you seeing that they're fearing a commitment to MSU?

He wasn't injured that bad. Played thru it all season but affected him a little bit.
Also the word is coming from the premium board and yes there is a rumor of him committing but nothing confirmed at this point.

Found the Bucknuts link:

</TD><TD class=alt2 title="Replies: 2, Views: 159"> </TD><TD class=alt1 align=middle> 2</TD><TD class=alt2 align=middle>159</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
It's premium, but the headline looks promising to say the least.

If anyone has time, it looks like Bucknuts premium content is available for free throughout June! I have no Internet access at home due to recent weather issues, and I'm posting this from work where I can't view my E-mail in the registration confirmation step, so I can't do this, but if anyone has time, all they ask for is a username and & E-mail address, then you have to click a link in an E-mail sent to that address to verify your account. At that point, you can access the above post:

I have read the post and it pretty much says what is in the title. Nothing confirmed and one in their said not a huge loss and he was more of a backup plan for them.
Their Mod said he thought he was waiting on an offer but didn't throw it out and said it would be a good get.
