We lose Smith and Webb to graduation after this year and possibly Ward and Sheffield to the NFL. I could see this class getting as many as 5-6 especially with Coombs wanting to use a rotation.

Didn't realize Webb and Smith were graduating, they grow up quick. Throw in the Burns and Norwood transfers and we probably should take more than 4 in this class. At first I was with Showme in thinking Cook could be the last DB in the class, but the recent attrition might mean we take another.

Yeah, my thought was nothing less than 5, because we're losing at the very least 3 DBs(and who knows how attrition may hit again in a year) and I also forgot the DBs lost EGW to the offense

FIVE-STAR CORNERBACK ANTHONY COOK INCLUDES OHIO STATE IN TOP 3

83878_h.jpg


The 6-foot-1, 168-pound Cook is considered the second-best cornerback and No. 13 prospect overall in the Class of 2018. He visited Columbus for the first time with his family for the Spring Game in mid-April, and couldn't stop gushing when asked what stood out about the Buckeyes.

“Three defensive backs in the first round. That's enough for me,” Cook told Eleven Warriors at Nike Football's The Opening Finals earlier this month. “If you can put my position in the league, that's always attractive. I know if I go to Ohio State, I will be developed, I'll be challenged every day in practice because they have some of the best receivers and [the cornerbacks are] on a high pedestal, so scouts and stuff are looking at them.”

“It hasn't taken long for old buddies Tom Herman and Urban Meyer to square off in a key recruiting showdown, though you can never count out LSU with Houston-area prospects. Ohio State has a real battle on its hands in pulling Cook away from two schools that are much closer geographically, but the Buckeyes have a couple of things working in their favor.

"First and foremost, Cook has stated numerous times that he's going to go to the school that he feels will best develop him. Ohio State is coming off a 2017 NFL draft that saw them put three defensive backs, including two corners, in the first round. Ohio State also produced top-10 2016 NFL draft pick Eli Apple at the cornerback position. So the history is there for this defensive staff where if you're a starting cornerback at Ohio State, you're going to have a great chance to not only play in the NFL, but to be a highly drafted player.

"Helping Ohio State perhaps to a lesser extent is the presence of Jeff Okudah. Okudah and Cook have the same Texas-based trainer and have become close over the past two years. Both of those things are strong factors working in Ohio State's favor and why the Buckeyes have a good chance to land the five-star prospect.”

5-star CB Anthony Cook hints at Ohio State preference in training session

The elite defensive prospect sure looks like a Buckeye lean.

In a video recorded by EJ Holland of 247Sports.com, you can see Cook during a training session rocking a Scarlet shirt with the Buckeyes logo imprinted on the front.

That's nice but I can remember a certain highly-rated recruit who was on video doing a backflip and then saying "Go Bucks" at the end. That young man then signed with Georgia. Can't remember his name.
