What happened to Glenville? Seems like they've fallen off the map the last couple of cycles

I went home in November (I grew up in the Glenville neighborhood) and went up to see them practice before their first round Playoff game, the first thing that I noticed was I didn't see Ginn, second was the bodies seemed similar to past season, maybe they are a young team. I saw some big, good looking guys up there and good looking skills. Not sure what the issue is.

Cincinnati Madeira TE Jack Cravaack

Ohio State chatting with Cincinnati tight end
“I’ve talked to (Ohio State assistant) Kerry Coombs a few times,” he said. “He visited my school last spring and then again this December and said they had interest in me and invited me to a spring practice. I went to their camp last summer but haven’t visited the school yet.”

There’s a good chance the country’s 38th-ranked tight end will return to Ohio State for a camp this summer. That’s usually the best way for in-state prospects to earn the Buckeyes’ attention.

“I definitely will go there to camp this summer,” he added. “Unless I’m committed somewhere else by then.”

2018 Xenia WR Meechi Harris

In-state receiver one to watch?
“I talk with Ohio State a lot,” Harris told Land of 10. “They’re always checking up on me. I talk with (offensive line coach Greg) Studrawa and (wide receivers coach Zach) Smith. I talk to Tim Hinton sometimes also.”

Michigan State recently offered Harris, as have Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota. A 6-foot-2, 190-pound athlete who is also a standout on the basketball court, Harris said he didn’t grow up a fan of the Buckeyes like most in Ohio. Rather, he just observed the sport and individual players, citing former Cincinnati Bengals star Chad Johnson as a player he has emulated. When talking to the Buckeyes, though, the message is clear: Ohio State is interested.

“I was nervous,” he recalled about being introduced to the Buckeyes head coach. “I tried not to show it, though. I couldn’t look nervous in front of the big boss himself.”

Harris will return to Ohio State soon, but the Buckeyes’ interest isn’t changing the country’s 61st-ranked wide receiver.

“I am going back there next Tuesday or Thursday,” he said. “I’ll be going up there for a spring practice. I appreciate all the offers I have and all the coaches that I talk with. (Ohio State) interest feels pretty much the same as the others. Right now I’m just trying to focus on basketball and school.”
