Totally missed what RB was saying...

No, I think I got it pretty dead on, thanks.

Funny, the top CBs in the country, people always know their names ... they're not quiet. Quiet CBs are decent/above average types that simply do their job, but they're not elite. What I was saying, from what I have read about him, is that Apple could easily be one of the elites. It's really that simple.

I think you totally missed what JB was saying.

When they are not throwing his way, you do not hear the DB's name much.

Early enrollees who could make an instant impact
These players may pay big dividends for their teams in the fall.

Ohio State CB Eli Apple

The New Jersey product, who was formerly Eli Woodard, is one of the more athletically gifted Class of 2013 corners, and he?s smart as well. Apple headlines arguably the best set of defensive backs from this year?s class, which also includes fellow early enrollee cornerback Cam Burrows for Ohio State. The 6-foot, 185-pound Apple played both ways in high school, including wide receiver. That experience gave him very good ball skills, so he could become a playmaker for the Buckeyes on defense. He is also good in run support.

CB Eli Apple, Ohio State

Like many Urban Meyer recruits, Apple was a model of versatility in high school. He played defensive back, wide receiver and Wildcat quarterback during his senior year at Eastern High in Voorhees, N.J. Now, his natural timing and ball skills could warrant immediate playing time in Columbus. Apple and fellow early enrollee Cameron Burrows should be in the mix to help replace graduating cornerback Travis Howard, last season's Big Ten leader in interceptions. Meyer hasn't shied away from using young talent in the secondary before: Cornerback Joe Haden started 12 games as a true freshman at Florida after enrolling early in January 2007.

Freshman cornerback Eli Apple: The battle will be on to replace Bradley Roby as a starting cornerback in 2014. Sophomore Armani Reeves was the No. 3 cornerback this season behind Roby and Doran Grant, but he struggled at times. Freshman Cameron Burrows was the No. 4 corner and played the second half against Indiana after Grant was hurt and Reeves was already out. But freshmen Burrows, Apple and Gareon Conley waged a fight to impress corners coach Kerry Coombs in the preseason and the stakes will be higher with a starting job up for grabs now. Apple got off to a slower start in the preseason, but he was ranked as the No. 89 prospect in the country in the Class of 2013 by Rivals.com and has made some plays on scout team.

Finally, it's Vonn Bell time, and Tyquan Lewis, Mike Mitchell and other young Ohio State Buckeyes to watch in bowl practice
