Can this get better people?? Ohio State has got another commit for their 2009 class. 4* DE Melvin Fellows has committed to Ohio State. The best thing is that he already committed to Illinois first but now he is a buckeye. He committed to Illinois really early this past year(before Buckeyes offer I think) but he is a Buckeye now..

From Scout:
The Ohio State Buckeyes got more good news today when Melvin Fellows notified Jim Tressel he was switching his commitment from Illinois to Ohio State.

"I thought about this long and hard and I' committing to Ohio State," Fellows said minutes ago. "Nothing against Illinois, but this is the best thing for me. The distance was a factor. It will be easier for my family to see me play. Then there's the chance to play for Jim Tressel. That was just too good to pass up."

Fellows notified Ohio State head coach of his decision today.

"Coach Tressel was very happy," Fellows reported. "He told me to work hard and be a leader this year. He also told me to watch the draft this Saturday. He said maybe some day he will be watching my name get selected. I'm very happy to be a Buckeye."

Fellows attended the Ohio State spring game last Saturday and spent time with several Buckeye commits. He said that might have played a part in his decision.

"Those guys are my friends and that made it easier," Fellows explained. "But in the end, I had to do what was best for me and my family. I'm glad to be going to school with Storm Klein, Johnny Simon, and the rest of the Buckeye recruits. It feels great to tell you the truth."

This now gives Ohio State 12commits already for the 2009 class:
They are
Jordon Whiting 4* #3 MLB
Storm Klein 4* #7 MLB
Johnny Simon 5* #3 DT
Adam Homan NR FB
Jack Mewhot 3*(Rivals has him as a 4*) #20OT
C.J. Barnett 4* #6CB
Chris Fields 4* #18WR
Jamie Wood 3*(rivals has him as a 4*) #17S
Darrell Givens 4* #9CB
Dorian Bell 5* #1SLB
Jordan Hall 4* #18RB
Melvin Fellows 4* #10DE

I really hope Tressel keeps stocking up on the D lineman. I was a bit surprised to see how low our rankings were in our backfield. I would like to see us de-emphasize linebacker and shore up the backfield and line.
