Dude, get them ALL. Whatever it takes we should do instead of tracking 4 more 5* wide receivers. I honestly believe you could give Hartline 3*'s and be very successful. Granted the JJ's are the exception to the rule because any QB would look good with that kid but we need to own the line of scrimmage going forward. Whatever it takes.

Well, if you look at the current WR room, tOSU has the best frosh WR in the nation (tip of the hat to the Bama guy), and two 5*'s and a 4* playing now, and what, couple of 4*s on the bench as sophomores? Would say that's a pretty stout room. AND, the #1 player & WR committed for next year coming in (unless he flips, but seems OSU bound ((at least for now)) ). So yeah, keep the cash, and spend it where needed. Don't forget tOSU has the #34 ranked player coming as an OT, so that's a great start, and there's been two OL gone down, and Michaelski and Severeid have performed admirably as fill-ins. Maybe the OL isn't as bad as we think? I'd really like to see an article on the 2's and 3's of the OL sometime, and the progress etc. When I refer back to my Lindy's tOSU roster, see bunches of OL listed, with most in the 6'5" and 290+ category, but that's where the info stops. I seem to have hijacked this thread, or tied the WR and OL thoughts together, am uncertain. Anyway, Go Bucks!

Ohio State Buckeyes are one step closer to landing another big commitment, but two SEC schools stand in the way​

The Ohio State Buckeyes continue building the starting stages of their 2026 high school recruiting class. Ryan Day has a new challenge ahead of him after a recent announcement from a top-tier talent in the class, who boasts major position versatility.

PJ Dean names Ohio State in final three

According to Hayes Fawcett, Elite lineman PJ Dean is down to three schools. Ohio State is included, alongside South Carolina and Georgia. Dean is from Clemmons, North Carolina, a nod to part of why SC has made it this far in the recruitment.



Dean has not visited the Buckeyes yet, but that seems to be in the cards for this summer. He has visits to Georgia and South Carolina locked in already.

According to On3, Dean is ranked as the 22nd overall prospect in the 2026 class, via the rankings. They also have him ranked as the top interior offensive lineman as well. Dean has lost a lot of weight over the past year, as he tries to create a more athletic build for himself - whether he plays on the OL or DL.

For Ohio State, they'll need to take down those other two SEC schools to garner Dean's services. Dean's close-to-home connections with the Gamecocks could make that a bit tougher, but Ryan Day has proven that he can pull talent out of other team's backyards previously.

Dean has recently admitted that Georgia and South Carolina are leading the way for his commitment. That situation remains fluid, though. That's high school recruiting in a nutshell, so that should not surprise anyone.

Ohio State has work to do, but you cannot rule them out.
