Terry McLaurin a Buckeye!!!

[victor2111]

3* across the board. From Indiana.

Recently camped at Ohio State camp, was the fastest WR in the 40. Got a offer, and now committed. Just like recent commit QB Stephen Collier.

Offers from Missouri, Purdue, Cincinnati, Iowa, Indiana and other.

Here are tweets about McLaurin:

Read a quote somewhere about Meyer challenging McLaurin to catch 200 balls per day...McLaurin caught 5 times that many balls. He earned it.

Ari Wasserman ‏@ariwassermanbsb 3m
McLaurin said - this is cliche - that Urban Meyer said that his speed would make him a Percy Harvin type player. Sweeps, screens, etc.

Ari Wasserman ‏@ariwassermanbsb 7m
On the phone with OSU commit Terry McLaurin (@theterry_25). He told me Urban Meyer told him he's one of the fastest players he's ever seen.

McLaurin clearly was most impressed with Urban Meyer, who cut his teeth as a wide receiver coach, and told him him he has the ability to ...
... become a Percy Harvin-type difference maker in the Ohio State offense. McLaurin picked OSU over Missouri and Purdue.


McLaurin is one of 9 committed Ohio State players that has accepted invites to the Opening.

Ohio State now has nine commits competing in The Opening, where the rest of the B10 has eight. Impressive.

What is the opening? Opening is a football camp that invites the best HS prospects and have them compete in different competition. The events will be shown on ESPNU. There are a total of 163 prospects that attend the event this year.

Wide receiver Terry McLaurin kept Ohio State's recruiting momentum going forward Sunday as he posted his verbal commitment to OSU on his Twitter account.

"I've Officially committed to THE Ohio St. University! I'm ready to be a #Buckeye!," McLaurin posted at @theterry_25 after announcing earlier in the day he would decide between the Buckeyes, Purdue and Missouri.

A three-star prospect from Indianapolis Cathedral, McLaurin (6-0, 175) is a rated the No. 53 wide receiver in the country. He joins fellow Hoosier State native Lonnie Johnson of Gary West Side as the two wideouts in the OSU's class of 2014.

The Buckeyes have now gained three verbal commitments in the last four days, as McLaurin joins four-star defensive end Jalyn Holmes and three-star quarterback Stephen Collier.

McLaurin was the overall winner of the Smokehouse 40-yard dash competition at OSU's June 9 camp and returned to work out Friday. After that showing, he earned a scholarship offer from the Buckeyes.

He has been invited to take part in The Opening, where he will join a number of his fellow OSU commits.

From buckeyeplanet yesterday:

McLaurin - Don't know much about this kid but I know one expert who thinks he might be the most underrated kid in the Midwest. His speed is undeniable. He has the hands. He plays against decent competition in Indiana. Coach Smith, Coach Coombs and Coach Meyer [again] thoroughly evaluated this kid in person and decided he can play at OSU. At the Chicago Nike camp he had a SPARQ of 126.96 with a laser 4.48 40, a shuttle of 4.36 and a vertical of 41.6". Couple that with how well he performed in front of the staff yesterday and I get this offer.

I like how they are recruiting kids THEY want after THEIR evaluations. I trust they will find us really good gems

From what I am reading McLaurin will earn that 4th star before it's all said and done, but as Ken said Meyer and co are going off of THEIR own scouting, not what recruiting boards are saying. They are going after the kids that they want and that they think will fit their system, I like to see that.
