Actually Barrett will be here for 2016 and 2017. So Guarantano would have been a RS Soph or Junior in 2018 before really having a shot at the starting job. It seems like that one extra year of waiting may have been the difference. Along with perhaps a bit more respect for Burrow/Gibson vs. the...

Biggest tidbit there is that Birm projects Rashan Gary in the class. Seems to be a little bit more optimism about Gary after his latest visit. DT is probably the most attractive position at OSU for a potential recruit in terms of depth chart and ability to compete to start in 2016, so it makes...

His older brother Devin is at UCLA already. I'd assume that makes them the team to beat at this point.

Yeah, I had always heard 6'3 or a little taller as well. It's a little tough to tell, but I think he looks about the same height as Joey in this pick. What do you think? https://ct.yimg.com/mr/uploads/917/1676103.jpg

Sophomore highlights show a special athlete and playmaker. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets a Buckeye offer soon. He has a great shot to be a top 5 recruit in Ohio 2017.

His highlights are solid, but I'm a little surprised he's seemingly so high on the board for all of these schools. Doesn't really do anything even on his highlight video punt returns. Only has a couple INTs and they were tipped up into the air by his teammates (he drops a few others). Didn't...

I just saw a picture of Nick, Joey and their dad together (Easter weekend in Columbus). Nick is just as tall and big as Joey. For some reason I was under the impression Nick was a couple inches shorter when I first watched his highlights. I re-watched his 2014 highlights after knowing how big...

It's looking like the offensive class could be mostly wrapped up by early June if Guarantano/Wallace, Farrell, Eichenberg and Mack jump on board as expected. That would just leave a spot or two at WR and one or two OL. Looks like things are going to move a lot slower on defense though. Most of...

Yeah, looks a little like Jelani Jenkins or maybe even Darron Lee. I wonder where the 10.09 100 time at the beginning of his Hudl film is from. If that's legit, that's crazy for a guy who is being recruited as a LB.

What a highlight video for a freshman... Big-time player.

Just to add to this, Brown is down to 222 this spring (from ~240 as a freshman). Looks pretty obvious they are grooming him to be a WR who can be a plus blocker outside (like Evan Spencer) and not a TE.

Some rumors that the Minnesota insiders aren't as confident as they were as well. Hoping Buckeyes can pull off the surprise recruiting win here. I actually think this is one of those under-the-radar recruitments that people aren't paying a ton of attention to (due to his lower ranking) that is...

He's impressive. Not tall, but he's physical and really solidly built (especially for a sophomore). Little bit like Doran Grant maybe?

I mis-worded that. I didn't mean the OSU coaches didn't have a plan B at QB. Like you said they likely have a very long list of different options. Meant more that it wasn't clear to us what the realistic Plan B was but maybe Wallace ends up being that guy. I agree with you that they can take 6...

Couple other recruiting thoughts... -Seems like the Haskins ship has probably sailed for OSU (based on lack of contact) and there wasn't a real clear Plan B if the Buckeyes were to lose Guarantano to Rutgers or Tennessee. With Tristen Wallace decommitting from Texas Tech, I think he ends up...

They can. McCall is a Jalin Marshall type who probably ends up at H-back (which is why I listed RB/H-back). Hill probably sticks at RB but is in the mold of Curtis Samuel or a bigger Dontre Wilson who is a speedster that can do some other things. Walker is the pure RB like Zeke Elliott.

How about a "guess the class" post so we can look back in 11 months and laugh about how wrong I was? QB- Jarrett Guarantano RB/H-Back-Kareem Walker, George Hill, Demario McCall WR- Austin Mack, Justin Layne TE/Big Slot- Jake Hausmann, Kierre Hawkins, Luke Farrell OL- Tyler Gerald, Liam...

He owns some pretty cool OSU gear. Love that pullover he has on a couple of posts up. Just a gut feeling, but I think he ends up sticking over the next two years. Seems serious about OSU.

I like that he's not from Florida originally. Seems like we have a higher batting average on northern transplants living down south than we do on the true southern kids. As mentioned by Wade, that should be one of the factors that leads to less of a crazy recruiting process than some of the...

Awesome writeup guys. Can't disagree with any of it. It does seem that it was maybe a little harder to land some of the 5 star guys this year due to the fact that most of the starters from the National Championship squad are returning (and there are obvious replacements like Raekwon McMillan at...
