Jamel Dean 2015 CB

Doubt he comes.

Wonder what this will do with 2017 ATH Bruce Judson. Dean played a part in Judson committing there.


My guess is the Gayturds for Dean if they go after him for a transfer. That's where Gardner is committed to again for the 2nd time. UF

so sad that we have to resort to leftovers from what real elite programs toss aside. And here we have fans getting all excited...hoping and praying that its true. The Miami BOT and their poor decisions over the years have turned us into starving dogs under the dinner table just hoping for scraps from our master.

Cocoa (FL) 2015 signee Jamel Dean's career at Ohio State is over before it even really had a chance to begin.

Originally reported by Eleven Warriors, 247Sports was able to confirm the report of Dean's departure from the program with a source close to the player.

Dean, who was enrolled at Ohio State since January, has yet to be medically cleared by team doctors and trainers after suffering multiple knee injuries in high school. There were rumors during winter conditioning that this may be the case with Dean, but an OSU spokesman told Bucknuts at the beginning of spring practice that he was not aware of Dean potentially leaving the program.

While the Ohio State doctors have not cleared Dean, sources at Cocoa tell Bucknuts that the defensive back has indeed been cleared by external doctors (including Dr. James Andrews) and that they believe he will be able to play college football. Word is that Ohio State is willing to offer a medical hardship so that Dean can remain on scholarship in an academic capacity, but that the player wants to continue his football career. A number of programs have already expressed interest in Dean, who is expected to transfer to his new school for summer semester.

Dean was rated as a 4-star prospect, No. 339 overall, the No. 32 cornerback, and No. 50 player in Florida per the Class of 2015 247Sports Composite Rankings.

This kid has bad knees to the point OSU won't clear but will allow him to medical redshirt an you all want this kid to come to Miami to sit out a year as a transfer, but some of ya'll knowing full well Miami needs DB HELP THIS YEAR (AS I THIS FALL) want UM to offer him! With all the JUCO DB's available I say take a gamble on one of them, **** there are 2 or 3 JUCO All American DB's still not signed anywhere. How about Miami go get one of them so they can add immediate quality to the secondary.

Sounds like Urban Meyer maybe souring his relationship with Cocoa HS (which is a speed football factory from Brevard County) by oversigning kids an also making executive decisions to cut kids. Hey but then again it happens everywhere.

High school coach of Ohio State football freshman Jamel Dean says Dean is being pushed off team

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The high school football coach of Ohio State freshman Jamel Dean feels the Buckeyes are denying Dean his place on the team over a typical injury.

"It's ridiculous," John Wilkinson told Northeast Ohio Media Group on Wednesday. "It's totally wrong to do this to an 18-year-old kid who should be in high school, who you talked into coming up there early.

"You can't treat people this way."

Wilkinson is the coach at Cocoa High School in Florida, a talent hotbed that includes Ohio State 2017 oral commitment Bruce Judson, a top-20 player in his class; and Chauncey Gardner, a cornerback in the 2016 class who recently committed to Florida but continues to be pursued by the Buckeyes.

Asked if the treatment of Dean could affect his view of Ohio State in the future, Wilkinson said, "No doubt about that."

But his concern is the handling of a player who was the second pledge to Ohio State's 2015 class, making his oral commitment in December of 2013.

"I go on a kid-by-kid basis, and this is about Jamel, it's not about the other kids," Wilkinson said. "It's about taking care of a kid who was committed to you for 18 months, and you're pushing him out before he even got an opportunity. He didn't get a chance to do anything."

Ohio State was informed of Wilkinson's displeasure, and a spokesman said the program cannot comment on medical issues.

Wilkinson contends that Dean could continue playing, and that Ohio State decided he couldn't. Dean tore his ACL in December of 2013, then returned for his senior season of football in 2014 and suffered a torn meniscus in his final game.

But Dean still enrolled at Ohio State in January for the start of the winter semester. He is around for spring football, though coaches said he wasn't participating. According to a report from 11 Warriors on Wednesday, Dean was not medically cleared to play by Ohio State.

Wilkinson confirmed that, but he said Dean had a second opinion from noted sports surgeon Dr. James Andrews. Wilkinson said Andrews' opinion was that Dean needed continued rehab on his knee and should be ready to resume full activities this summer. Meanwhile, Dean felt he was ready to contribute in some way this spring, and Wilkinson said he wasn't allowed to do that.

Wilkinson said he has been checking with other schools and that Dean will wind up at a school that will let him play.

"Someone is not going to take him if there's something medical there," he said.

But he said the only option at Ohio State was a medical hardship to end Dean's playing career but remain on scholarship. In that case, the scholarship does not count against the team's scholarship limit of 85.

"They're saying they're going to honor his scholarship, but honoring his scholarship doesn't allow him to play the game he loves to play," Wilkinson said. "It's all ridiculous and I don't appreciate them treating my kid this way.

"I'm sticking up for my kid. He was committed to them, but yet they're not fully committed to him."

The Buckeyes must be down to 85 scholarship players by the start of the season. They entered spring football at what looked like 88 scholarship players.

"How aware am I of the roster? About as well as you can be," coach Urban Meyer said on National Signing Day in February. "There's a couple guys that you're just not sure can continue playing. You have to just to be aware.

"But there's also the truth that you don't know for the next couple weeks, couple months, with these injuries what happens. So you have to prepare.

"But you also can't do the unthinkable and that's be stuck with 87 scholarship players come June or July."

Wilkinson said he has been concerned about this scenario for months. He said Ohio State performed an MRI on Dean less than a week after he arrived, and talk of Dean's career with the Buckeyes ending began then. Wilkinson said the doctor who Dean saw in Florida after last season had said it was a four- to six-week injury.

"I was not happy," Wilkinson said. "We are not happy on this side."

Wilkinson said he has been going back and forth with Ohio State coaches and staff since January.

"I knew it was going to get ugly," Wilkinson said.

I say give the kid a physical an if he passes then offer him.

Link to rules allowing for physical exams during unofficial and official visits. (This was the old book, in the 2014-2015 book medical exams are listed under section 13.11.2.6 page 128)

An since he was cut loose by Ohio St he should be eligible immediately and with good luck should be ready to play by fall if he passes the physical.
