His junior highlights are really impressive. Has an extra gear when he gets loose and the long strides that are almost reminiscent of Ted Ginn.

Sounds like it might not be official for another week, but all indications are that he committed to the Buckeyes today. Congrats to DaVon. Has to be a great feeling for him, his friends and family for the hometown kid to get that OSU offer, especially with all the excitement surrounding the...

The only thing that would maybe fit the information would be an under-the-radar flip of somebody like Shaun Crawford or Larry Scott. That would fit with everyone keeping it quiet, but if something like that was going down, it would have had to have leaked right? Or maybe some other player...

Okay, somebody help me out here... http://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football-recruiting/2015/01/49159/the-hurry-up-hausmann-myers-impact-updates-on-key-2015-visitors-and-more-on-the Great writeup on the weekend from 11W, but this part has me confused: "There's a possibility that some...

Sounds like he is having a good time and hitting it off with Jashon Cornell who has been at OSU a few weeks now. Not sure if it will be enough to overcome the home-state team but I definitely hope so. DT is probably the weakest position on the depth chart going forward beyond 2015 so he is a...

I actually think this does enter the minds of potential candidates. A huge part of that job is being able to beat the Buckeyes fairly regularly. If the new coach can't do that, he could be fired pretty quickly. If you are a candidate for that position and already have a decent job, I think you...

One true frosh starter on defense in decades? Where do you get numbers like this? Bosa is starting this year. Spence and Washington had some starts last year. Ryan Shazier started down the stretch 2 years ago. Cam Heyward started as a freshman. So did Malcolm Jenkins. Pretty sure Johnny Simon...

Agree with you on the first 4. Mavety and McMillan are going to be real battles, but I like out chances of winning those battles. If OSU gets those 4, anything else is gravy. But it would probably leave room for 2 or 3 late "Urban specials." Not sue what those will be. Could be somewhat...

Not really sure, but I get the impression that Rogers, despite having an offer, might not be able to commit today. I think Alexander probably could. It could be either of those guys or someone else, but I definitely think the staff wants another DB even beyond the current commits and the 2...

Looks highly likely that this is the guy at QB for 2015. Just reading between the lines, but it seems like the spot is his if he commits soon (which I think he will). I think the staff is perhaps pushing for the early commitment so that they can move on to option 1B (Nunez?) and not lose out on...

With the Lonnie Johnson decommit, I believe we are at 17 currently. I like to think that Marshon Lattimore, Erick Smith and Raekwon McMillan are all going to be Buckeyes. Which gets us to 20. Maybe 4 more on top of that? 1. I think the staff badly wants a JUCO OL. Mavety seems to be most...

Disagree. If one of these 2 want in, there will be room.

2 thoughts: 1. I think Mike is really underrated by the recruiting services. He has a little bit of Rob Gronkowski to his game. Physical, tough and smooth. Seems to be a real top notch competitor. 2. In part because of what his personality seems to be as a competitor, I think he ends up a...

Agreed. We have no real idea where these guys rank compared to each other. We don't really have a big physical WR who can make plays after the catch on the roster. Brown is unique in that regard and could be very high on Urban's board. I also think this class is headed toward 24+ and odds are...

Dixon's really good and is probably a guy we would try to make room for, but I don't know if he really fits into this class that great. We took 3 speedy under 6 feet WRs last year and already have a couple good ones committed in this class. I know we were lacking these types of players when...

I hope you are right, but I don't think he has made too many unofficial visits. So he may be pretty intent on taking some officials so he can actually get out and see more schools on his list. I would bet he sticks to his timeline with a winter commit. The one thing that may work in favor of...

Really, really impressive kid in interviews. Whoever gets him is going to get a big time talent with a great mindset and I suspect he will show big improvements once he learns all the little things that are so important to D Line play like hand placement, count moves, etc.

It will be interesting to see, but I actually think 2014 recruiting is going to slow down for a while. We may get 1 or 2 more commits soon (Eluemenor? Roberts?), but I think that we are going to hit a period where not much is happening in terms of public commitments until around the All Star...

I mostly agree. However, I also think the staff has to look at things across multiple classes. For example, it is already looking like OSU has a great chance of bringing in a banner class of OL again next year. There are a couple of highly regarded Ohio guys. Drew Richmond from Tennessee could...

Nice list. I think Quinton Nelson is also one of the top targets there. He has visited and I suspect he is high on their OL board. I have heard he has been hanging out with the OSU commits. He is a ND commit, but you never know and I think OSU was runner up for him.
