But come May the 18th, after he's visited OSU and talked with their coaches some more and gotten more familiar, I have my doubts. I know there's often an after-visit glow when recruits visit schools (let's not forget that with the glowing quotes we've gotten of late, we ALSO are the most recent visit), but after he visited OSU, he seemed in awe of the program.

The only way he doesn't choose OSU in a little less than a month IMO is if he looks at the crowded backfield and thinks that maybe he could makes things a little easier on himself and make early (and later) playing time far more likely in Blacksburg. I think the distance thing is overblown and he seemed very comfortable in Columbus after his visit there. I expect him to leave Columbus blown away.
