Actually, I think they may have upped his rating just prior, because I checked his rating on Rivals as soon as 21 posted his commitment and they already had him as a 2-star but didn't yet have him listed as a commit (they did about 10-15 minutes later).

Either way, our staff knows what we're getting and that's all that counts.

I think Rivals always had him as two stars...but I do know that Aaron was listed with one star on Scout around 5 PM today and is now listed with two. You're right though, stars aside, the staff seemed to really want this kid and I'm glad we got him.

i think this is a fantastic get for us. regardless as to whether or not bowman comes aboard i REALLY like Gant's versatility and potential.

getting one away from michigan always feels beautiful too. how fun would it be if we got 3 or 4 kids from Michigan in the next couple of years? and then turn around and beat them consistently with their talent. ohh..that would be nice. :)

hes been a 2 star at rivals as long as hes been on there. i dont think a player can have 1 star or at least ive never seen any with just 1. its either 2 or 0 i think.

Defensive back from Michigan commits to OSU

Ohio State added a fourth defensive back to its recruiting class yesterday with the commitment of Michigan prospect Aaron Gant.

Gant, 6 feet, 205 pounds, of St. Mary’s Prepatory School in Orchard Lake, Mich., became the 17 th member of a class that could number 18 to 20 on signing day Feb. 1. Gant hopped on board, he said, because "I was feeling it, that Ohio State is the right place for me."

It will be interesting to find out, perhaps as soon as today, whether his St. Mary’s teammate Anthony Bowman is feeling it, too. Bowman, a blue-chip all-purpose player, had committed to Iowa but backed off recently. He visited Ohio State this past weekend with Gant.

Gant, meanwhile, canceled a scheduled visit to Michigan this weekend. He was a safety and running back (with just more than 1,000 yards on 156 carries) last season, and was also being courted strongly by Michigan State and Illinois.

He will play defense at Ohio State, he said. Though he was aware of the early departures to the NFL of safety Donte Whitner and Ashton Youboty, he said that was not the primary reason he picked the Buckeyes.

"I know that wherever I go, I’m going to have to work hard and prove myself," Gant said.
