The last few months have been kind to Ohio State’s football program in terms of recruiting. The Buckeyes 2021 class has vaulted to the top of the class rankings, and to be frank, no other program is even close to Ohio State’s level. And this was all the case before the 2020 NFL Draft, which saw a handful of Buckeyes successfully make the transition to professional ball, including the top three picks all being on Ohio State’s roster at one point.
Giving OSU even more ammunition doesn’t even feel fair at this point. However, that is a problem for every other team. The Buckeyes are hoping the weekend’s success will help them win the remaining recruiting battles they are facing — one of which could be coming to an end soon.
Five-star OT target JC Latham (Bradenton, FL/IMG Academy) posted a somewhat cryptic tweet Monday morning, and it could be good news for the Buckeyes.
It’a time to make some business decisions...real adult like choices.
Now it needs to be stated up front, nowhere in Latham’s tweet does he say he is going to be announcing his decision, let alone when. However, in college football recruiting, where there is smoke, there is usually fire.
Latham has long been associated with the Ohio State program, and as of recent, the Buckeyes have become the overwhelming favorite to earn his commitment. The 247Sports Crystal Ball Predictions all favor the Buckeyes, including the most highly respected recruiting analysts. Currently, all 11 CBs for Latham are for OSU, including lead expert Bill Kurelic and 247Sports director of football recruiting Steve Wiltfong.
Just sayin': To me it sounds like..Get ready for the BOOM.
