OSU's Recruiting Class

[WANG]

Has gone from a top 20 class to a top 5 class in the past week.

4 committs will do that for ya I guess!

Up 13 spots on 247 (which is the best site IMO) and now sit firmly 4 spots ahead of scUM.

Ahhhhh, normalcy has returned.

Happy days are here again! SCUM cannot be permitted to beat us in anything.

Always put it,

you don't win recruiting titles in May. WAit till Feb, and see where your class is at. Usually the top dogs will make their run and get a lot of the prospect they want.


Another good class for Meyer/coaching staff so far. But one thing that is starting to get scary is Raekwon McMillian. He is still high on Ohio State but there are a couple teams making up a lot of ground. A lot of people thought he would for sure be in the Ohio State class, now not for sure.

Who are some players Ohio State could potentially finish with

- ATH Marshon Lattimore. Stud, #1 player in Ohio. WR/DB/ATH. Wants to play CB in college. Glenville product.
- LB Raekwon McMillian. Stud. One of the top LB prospect, from UGA. tOSU has been #1 for him since day 1.
- DL Derek Barnett. Offered, 3*, rising. His grandfather played football at Ohio State. DE/DT, keeps getting bigger so will probably finish at DT.
- RB Jonathan Hillam - 4*, came out and said Ohio State is his leader, his favorite, and keeps saying more positive things about him. Just a matter of time....
- OL Chad Mavety - Maybe Ohio State next LT. He is a JUCO recruit who has 2 years to play, Ohio State is high on his list, and will be one of the first schools he will visit.


Then you have 3 more OL
- JUCO Eluemunor - Committed to UCLA, visited Ohio State, loved it, down to these two, will make final decision soon.
- Price - 5* OL from Maryland. Ohio State high on his list.
- Knox - 5* OL from Texas. Was committed to Texas, decommitted from Texas. Ohio State high on his list.

Most of they 3* will move up to 4 by the end of their senior year.

Hope you can hold on that long.

Used to be after they committed to OSU they lost a star. Or at least it seemed that way under the previous regime.

Braxton Miller was the # 1 dual threat qb until he committed to tOSU. Then, mysteriously, he became #2.

I don't think that will happen with Urban as coach.

We are going to end up a bit lower in the rankings at the end of the season. Mostly because we will likely have a smaller class. I am pretty happy with where we stand right now though. There is only one recruit left that would really upset me if he went with another school and that is Lattimore.

Knox seems to be REALLY high on UCLA, so I think that is where he ends up.

I think OSU gets the rest of the list you presented, and that might be about it. It's a small class this year.

Meh, stars are overrated.

Laurantis was a 3 star, so was Troy.

I am pretty sure Jenkins was a 3 star.

Meyer and co seem to be targeting kids THEY want, not ones that the recruiting sites are fawning over (though there is overlap sometimes). I trust their judgement, especially since the walrus isn't picking OL players anymore
