I'm not sure about that. The only thing strange about it to me is that the fanbase doesn't have a firm grasp on targets/likely commits as much as years past. A lot of the recruiting seems to be going under the radar.

I think he's talking about all things considered. Such as,

- the James Louis commit
- the Hankins, he's going to commit? wait, does he have an offer? wait, will we give him an offer? wth!
- Jamel's off-field "what exactly happened" issue.
- Justin Turner's OGT's
- The QB recruiting twist and turns that happened earlier on
- Where is Roderick Smith film!
- Who's Chad Hagan?!
- etc., etc., etc.

Granted there is stuff like this every year, but I agree, this year it seems to be especially interesting. And I didn't even mention half of it!

That's very good news. If he went to USC and says that OSU's the leader. I wonder if USC is pulling all stops on him though.

Rivals.com Football Recruiting - Ask Jamie: Favorites for Clements and Fulton?

Buckeyes in the mix

Do you think Ohio State can win the recruiting battles for cornerbacks Joshua Shaw and LaMarcus Joyner?

Ohio State is in good shape with Joshua Shaw.

I certainly can see Ohio State landing at least one of these two big-time cornerbacks.

Shaw, from Palmdale, Calif., has been one of the hottest defensive prospects in the nation since about mid-spring. He's No. 3 nationally at cornerback and could continue to climb up the charts. Shaw will take an official visit to Ohio State for the USC game, and it looks as if the Buckeyes are the team to beat.
Meanwhile, it appears Joyner also will visit Ohio State that weekend. While I think the Buckeyes have a shot, I still would give the edge to Florida State. On a side note, Joyner and his Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas teammates will play Columbus (Ohio) Upper Arlington on Saturday at the Big Horseshoe, so Joyner will have two trips to Columbus in the next few weeks. That certainly could help the Buckeyes.

UA All-American Shaw sets up his visits, but still has a favorite - ESPN


Buckeyes still the leader for Shaw

Under Armour All-American defensive back Joshua Shaw (Palmdale (Calif./Palmdale) will take an unofficial visit to Seattle this weekend to take in the Washington-LSU game. He's also close on finalizing his last official visit.
Shaw has four of his official visits set with Ohio State (Sept. 11), Florida (Sept. 18), LSU (Oct. 9) and Notre Dame (Oct. 16).
"I'm pretty sure my last visit will be to Tennessee," Shaw said. "I still need to finalize the date but it's looking good right now. I'm looking forward to visiting Washington this weekend. This will just be an unofficial visit since it's close to home for me and it allows me to take my official visits to schools outside the West."
Shaw will also visit USC unofficially and has already checked out Ohio State in an earlier visit. The Buckeyes are in a good position at this time.
"Ohio State is my leader still," Shaw said. "I can't wait to get out there for that official visit but I'm not ready to shut things down yet. I know some have asked if I might commit to Ohio State on the visit but that won't happen.
"I mean it's my first visit and I really want to take all my trips before I decide anything to make sure I'm doing the right thing. My plan all along was to take all my visits and then decide on Christmas day. I may just tell the school I'm picking on Christmas what I'm doing and then go public at the Under Armour game or just get it done on Christmas, still working that out."
Shaw has become good friends with standout safety Dietrich Riley and the two have talked about going to the same school. Package deals rarely happen in recruiting but Shaw said the two would love to play together at the next level.
"That would be great and we talk about it all the time," Shaw said. "We both like USC and Notre Dame and they have offered both of us. Ohio State is talking to him but hasn't offered yet.
"If they do offer, then something could definitely happen. He's a big time safety and a great player and I think we could make a great combination in the secondary with me at corner and him at safety."

To me that sounds like "If we are going to play together it will be at Ohio State, so hopefully they offer him." I wouldn't be opposed to offering Riley at all though, regardless of Shaw. On a side note, Shaw checked in as the #24 player nationally in the new Rivals 100 and Riley at #94.
