That's my point, though. If things stayed on that course, Mizzou was out. Yeah, it would be better to just hear that he committed but at least this keeps them alive.
That said - I'm pretty sure he was just attention whoring. If he was so gung-ho about OSU that when shit hit the fan he didn't turn to his #2 but rather just re-opened recruiting, that tells me his #2 was just a token #2. The only reason he built it up the way he did was to get the local media more interested.
If he'd have said it was coming down to OSU and, say, Alabama - nobody in the STL area would've really given a shit. He included Mizzou in the 'race' so he could get attention from the hometown paper, IMO.
