No need for an apostrophe in Wells :)

Anyways, I'm really excited about William Campbell. He's a monster and surprisingly quick for a man his size. I think he's ranked accordingly, what do you guys think?

Certainly...Campbell is a beast. I can't wait to see some more Hall vs. Campbell matchups.

Impressive early list. Thanks to mross34 for going through the trouble to list the names of interest. The good thing is, it isn't just OSU interest, there is a lot of mutual interest in that list of guys. With more Schollies to offer for the 09' class, you would think a lot of early offers are going to start coming out soon. I know the Bucks are typically very selective when distributing offers, but doesn't it seem like Zooker has offered just about every decent prospect in the state of Ohio already? I'm not too concerned yet, but the Illini are starting to get an early jump in recruiting Ohio for next year. Tress has his hands full already with scUM, ND, PSU, and the northern SEC schools snagging Ohio recruits. Add the Illini to the list of major competiters as long as Zook is there. Already saw the 1st Glenville kid to get an OSU offer and go elsewhere. I guess coach needs to put some of that bonus money for BCS appearances and beating scUM to use and put up a higher fence around the state border.

We seem to have cornered the market on the Well's name, how about adding Brown to the list :biggrin:

Good work guys thanks.

That would be real nice, especially Bryce and Marlon.

Ditto on the thanks as well, make it double! This is truly the quintessential Buckeye Lazyboy recruiting site. With all of the energetic genius' around here doing all of this incredible work, any idiot like me, can show up 10 minutes a day and actually glean enough to form an opinion and bore you all to death!

I bless the day I found this oasis. Thanks very much to all of the happy originators and contributors!! They sho' be a lot smart fellers around here.

Many thanks for this link.
Looks like a whole lot of talent goin' on here, or lets say definite potential. Very impressed, at least on paper, with some of the size comin' from even the bottom of the list, i.e. Freeman, Tolbert & Cadogan, etc., especially if Cado ends up at DE.

Welp, looks like this RE-crootin ranger is gonna have to Buckle him on down some an' do some rearchin' type activity down on dey individ-jill thread farm.

I just noticed C.J. Barnett was upgraded to 4 stars on scout. Kind of interesting they didn't wait to do it until they released their next set of rankings.

As was Tenn. WR Marlon Brown... and Dion Sims was moved from WR to TE and is at 4 stars (not sure if he was before or not).

Emfinger's rankings are usually way off this early in the year...half of those rankings wouldn't coincide in any way with anyone who has actually watched film of these kids. The first two names on that list are prime examples...

Scout's position rankings are out.

tOSU commits:

John Simon- #3 DT(5 stars)
Jordan Whiting- #3 MLB(4 stars)
C.J. Barnett- #6 CB(4 stars)
Storm Klein- #7 MLB(4 stars)
Jamie Wood- #17 S(3 stars)
Chris Fields- #18 WR(4 stars)
Jack Mewhort- #20 OT(3 stars)
Adam Homan- NR FB(1 star)

Personally, I can't see there being 16 safeties better than Wood. I am really high on him. Klein is too low. He has to be one of the top 10 LB's in the country. Simon slipped a little, considering he was initially a top 5 prospect regardless of position. Barnett is another extremely impressive DB. Legit shot at 5 star status if he attends any combines or camps. Fields is a little lower than expected given his great performance at the Cleveland combine but that's probably about right. Mewhort is really intriguing. What position will he play? He plays center now but appears to be pretty athletic and looks like he'll grow into a monster. I think he'll be upgraded to 4 stars by the time the final rankings are released.
