I mostly agree with that list other than a few order issues. I would have all three WR's -Allen, Quick, and Foster, ahead of Green. Not based on star power or potential but team needs. I hope WR is not the issue it seems with the youth of last years guys, but if so, then thats what I would use to organize most of that list.

Having said that, I'll contradict myself and say that #1 and and #2 on the list seem right due not to need but the quality of player vs their preceived desire to be buckeye. -The classic "you make room for them" type guys. Pluse we still need a LB and seem the want another quality safty, both also seem like on field leaders.

There will be a least one flipped recruit in this class that isn't on that list. Not sure who, but there is a long way to the finish line and you have to think that some kids will want to take their free official visits.

Also, given how many in this class are from out of state, there's a probability that we'll have another decommit along the way. Long way to go.

Pure speculation, but I'm thinking that nearly any Penn St. recruit is a possibility given the last month of news.

The fact that they committed in the first place, in spite of all the negativity, actually makes me feel the opposite. Maybe some of the OOS guys would be willing to listen, but in the end I doubt anyone flips.

Depends. The Freeh Report will be quite damaging and could, outside of the whole Sandusky ordeal, justify an LOIC charge. Like others have said, if Paterno was willing to cover-up kiddie rape, what wasn't he willing to cover up?

True, but paternos no longer the HC. And like previously stated, if they committed amidst the scandal, its a small chance they're flipping. The kids that committed seem like lifelong psu fans and always wanted to go there. Just like a number of kids that committed to us last year in the middle of our scandal(granted ours is nowhere near the same magnitude )

Paterno not being there anymore is irrelevent...if the NCAA finds some serious stuff, PSU will get hammered. Lifelong fans or not, kids who recently committed to PSU will rethink those commitments if LOIC charges are levied...

So the goal is to forget areas of need and try to snag PSU commits from positions where Ohio State has loaded up the past two years?

Otherwise Johnson is about it. Even if it's numbers be damned Webb & Breneman are the only other two I'd seriously go out on a limb for.

We're nothing, if not spiteful. :)
