2010 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Illinois is going to attack Ohio again in 2010...the Illini have already offered 4 of the top 6 players (according to BN) and are actvely pursuing the other two. They have offered Jamel Turner, Darryl Baldwin, Matt James and Jordan Hicks...and they are after Derrick Bryant and I expect them to make a push for Andrew Norwell, considering his brother plays at Illinois.

ESPN - Top Class of 2010 prospects ready for written offers - Football Recruiting

As the end of August draws near, things are about to change on the recruiting front. To this point even the very best high school juniors have only verbal scholarship offers usually delivered through the prospect's high school coach.

However as of Sept. 1, written scholarship offers can be extended and college coaches are allowed to call prospects once a week. College football teams are set to begin their season and prospects will also be able to make both unofficial and official visits.

While hundreds of high school football players will begin making visits to see college games this weekend, a far smaller number of juniors will begin receiving written scholarship offers next week.

Here is a look at some of the top Class of 2010 prospects in Big Ten country who already have verbal offers and will begin receiving written offers in a matter of days.

Sept. 1 will undoubtedly be a busy day for St. Paul (Minn.) Cretin-Derham offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson. The 6-foot-8, 310-pound Henderson has verbal scholarship offers from Florida, Ohio State, Minnesota, UCLA, Wisconsin, Iowa and Boston College among others. Henderson will receive his share of written offers next week.

Youngstown (Ohio) Ursuline linebacker Jamel Turner has verbal offers from Ohio State, Illinois, Michigan State, Wisconsin and Akron, and at least the Buckeyes have told Turner his written offer will come Sept. 1.

ESPN - Midwest Recruiting Blog

Class of 2010 might follow lead of Class of '09
Wednesday, December 24, 2008

Posted by Bill Kurelic

Tuesday's blog pointed out how the vast majority of the Midwest's top class of 2009 prospects decided to stay close to home and committed to a school in their home state.

Early indications point toward more of the same for top prospects in the class of 2010 in Big Ten country.

The No. 1 prospect in the state of Ohio, linebacker Jamel Turner (Youngstown/Ursuline), has committed to Ohio State as has another top 10 players from the Buckeye State, defensive end J.T. Moore (Youngstown/Boardman).

One of the top five juniors in the state of Michigan, wide receiver Jeremy Jackson (Ann Arbor/Huron), has committed to Michigan. He is the son of Wolverine assistant coach Fred Jackson. Another top five junior from the state of Michigan, linebacker Max Bullough (Traverse City/St. Francis Catholic), has committed to Michigan State.

Linebacker Mike Hull (Canonsburg, Pa./Canon-McMillan), one of the top 10 prospects in Pennsylvania, has committed to Penn State.

National signing day for the class of 2009 is still over a month away and it is still very, very early for the class of 2010. But early returns point to the majority of the top prospects in Big Ten country once again staying close to home.

As it stands right now, how many scholarships do we have to offer in 2010?

The eventual number will be in the 16 to 18 range. 2010 is a long way off. Alot can happen. This is the number JT likes. This years number of 24-28 is too high. There is a greater margin for error when you are trying to fill a class with that many openings.

I would think that really all depends on who you are recruiting or who fills the class. 24-28 recruits are not too many for me if they are all quality players and you can redshirt some of them their freshman season. I just don't go along with your greater margin for error quote.
