Something I have always wondered. How much does the stregth of a current class influence a kid? As a class starts to round out and it is filled with studs, does that influence kids looking at the last spots? I know that they will look at the current roster and incoming class to see what the competition is like for their position. What I wonder is if a kid, say Diggs or Neal, see a class like ours currently and thinks "Wow, I can be a part of a special class that has a serious shot at multiple CG, NG, etc." Kind of like kids on Bama the last few years, Florida a few years back, etc. Do you think kids think like this? I know I would.

But it also brings to mind the scholarship restrictions Meyer and his staff are working under as they seek a few more blue-chip prospects before the Feb. 1 signing day.
Because of NCAA sanctions, the Buckeyes can have no more than 82 players on scholarship for each of the next three seasons; the usual maximum is 85. A check of the updated roster on the school?s website late last week showed 62 returnees who originally were scholarship players.
Quick math would indicate that the Buckeyes already are three over at the moment, but now is where the juggling, shuffling and bookkeeping will start to come into play. That?s because in this numbers game, the key day will be the first day of preseason practice in August.

Neal/Diggs
Marcus
Reeves
Dodson/Diamond

Wow.
