LAYNE ENJOYS OSU AGAIN
"I had a great time at the celebration, and I was there with Jerome Baker and Warren Saba," Layne stated. "I didn't get a chance to talk to the coaches much, but we did speak a little bit. It was just great seeing the fans out there enjoying the national title."

"My feelings toward Ohio State are strong, and things are good between us," he added. "I'm still open as a recruit, but Ohio State is definitely at the top of my list. I mostly speak with Coach (Stan) Drayton and Coach (Urban) Meyer, and we talk about once a week."

"I would like to commit before my senior season, so I will need to use the spring and summer to check out some other schools," he concluded.

This year feels like the opposite of 2015. We have our pick of the litter of SE receivers. Well very possibly have to say no to more than one elite SE.

Not just that, but this class is coming together quite earl . We should have a number of commits by summer. Remember last year when so many were complaining about 2015 being terrible and doom and gloom? Lol. Not for 2016

CHANGING LAYNES
If you recall, I had made mention a few weeks back that the next 2016 in-state commitment was likely coming soon, but it has — up to this point — not yet happened. The player I was referencing was Cleveland Benedictine's Justin Layne, a 6-foot-3, 180-pounder who is ranked as Ohio's top wide receiver for 2016. The reason for that initial post was that people close to the Buckeyes felt the impression made on Layne during his junior day visit to Columbus was likely enough to get him to make him a commitment and hopefully end his recruitment.

Layne himself told 11W that he has been going back-and-forth about the possibility.

"I got back-and-forth a lot," Layne said. "When it feels right, (I'll make a decision.)"

One of the reasons for the delay could be basketball. Layne and his Bengals' teammates are in the middle of their season and he'd like to make a few visits to other schools before committing anywhere.

"I'm considering anyone right now, for real," he continued. "Michigan State, Penn State, and Notre Dame are up there. I definitely want to get to some spring games if I can."

With the Buckeyes hot on the trail for Austin Mack, Donnie Corley, Tre Nixon, Binjimen Victor, Nate Craig-Myers, and a host of others in 2016, Layne could find himself on the outside looking in at the Buckeye class by waiting too long. At this point, expect a spring decision from Ohio's 8th-ranked player.

He will be a buckeye... Jerome ended up with Florida at first and then as their season unraveled he realized he wanted to be a buckeye. MSU won't unravel but they won't be Ohio State and they won't have a guy like Michael Thomas who's going show Justin we need some bigger guys at WR.
