Love hearing this, and does it seem to anyone else that the kids he's speaking about in LitlBuck's quote are recruits that have either mentioned or had the crystal balls pointed in tOSU's direction for some time? I'll take the kids listed above, plus a couple of OL, and a DL, and call it a recruitment. PLus adding Baker to make a starting LBers of all Ohio kids. Go Bucks!

These "so called" experts may not know anymore than any of us; however, they just have a recruiting information website to express their opinions. Regardless you have to like their prediction.

I agree with the "experts" that OSU is looking good here, but ND is the competition here and not scUM. Although the dominoes have been falling rapidly, I think Hilliard is the key domino to getting some of the elite OOS guys like Cornell, Harris, etc. He really looks primed to be a leader in whomever he chooses, so I'm hoping it is the good guys.

One element I had not really thought about in Hilliard is the real swing we have seen in our recruitment of Cincinnati-area players. Recently we have Hubbard, Jalin Marshall, and looking good for Haussman and Kraemer...hopefully Hilliard would help further solidify our efforts there.
