hello, lee is coming from the juco ranks therefore he must know the importance of chosing a school where he will play the soonest. So, I don't know why ore st would not have the advantage over him, especially since NU is recruiting him to add depth to the dt position, & challenge the others for playing time (& of course he may have a slight chance of beating out cryer - but not a very, great chance of doing so, & starting, like he might at ore st - therefore, I believe that his statement about the passing contrast b/w the pac-10 or B12 is a cop out - especially since, there is not that big of a discrepency b/w the 2 leagues in their abilities or willingness to pass or run - it simply comes down to where he is going to play more (ore st), & who can help him get to the next level the quickest (NU/blake) - in my opinion
p.s. deas will be an on-going mystery for quite a while (even after he commits)
