Nick Conner a BUCKEYE!!!!

4* LB from Dublin Scioto! It was a slow start but the train is starting to go now

Ohio State struck gold in-state today as Dublin Scioto 2015 linebacker Nick Conner committed to the Buckeyes. Conner, a 6-foot-3, 225 pound tackling machine at middle linebacker, had been waiting for the Ohio State offer and when it came he didn't hesitate to accept it.

Conner has been patient while he's waited, but his confidence has never waned. He believed that Ohio State would recognize that his skills — and the person he is off the field — made him an excellent fit for what Urban Meyer is trying to accomplish in Columbus.

"I know once they get to know me and who I am and how I do things it will work out," Conner told Eleven Warriors. "I know they've been wanting me to continue working on my speed and I have been."

It appears that Conner has shown Meyer and his staff what they needed to see after a mid-week camp performance and he couldn't be happier to be a Buckeye. It's the culmination of years of hard work, with everything pointed to this one moment.

Most likely a true inside linebacker at Ohio State, Conner chose the Buckeyes over offers from Michigan State, Oregon, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Boston College, Cincinnati, West Virginia and others.

And expect some more commits soon.

- Larry Scott RB could be a Buckeye soon(Hill 2016 Ohio State commit, same team).
- And big time Ohio LB prospect Justin Hillard said on twitter today he will commit something this month, and it is looking good for Ohio State.

- AND Damien Harris, 5* RB, the one who decommitted from Michigan, is visiting Ohio State, #1RB, and it is looking good for a certain team.


And there are a lot of other prospects that are visiting Ohio State soon. So lets just say, that slow start, everyone was worried about..............LOL.

I agree but still got to get them.

We will.

Trust in Meyer/Coaching Staff. They know what they're doing. It is just getting started. Ohio State will be top 5 before year is over again.


Meyer/Coaching Staff will miss out on a few they want but will get a replacement in the end, that is very talented. Good news is this LB class can be very good(3 guys) after a great LB the year before.

I keep in the back of my mind what Urban Meyer said when a couple of kids flipped to OSU his first year after committing elsewhere . . . A verbal commitment means that you are a kid's favorite right now. You still have to keep recruiting them, sometimes even harder if you expect them to sign with you.

Yep, never worry about Meyer and Co, they will get a good class.

It looks like the Torrence Gibson train has left the station, though. He recently moved OSU down to #7 on his list, still hasn't visited (but has visited other schools multiple times) and says he can't remember the last time he had contact with an OSU coach. Looks like OSU has moved on.

The contact stopped when he got into some trouble at school - he was in a fight and got himself suspended.
