Just looking at LB which was such a critical need position when Urban took over, to close out 2012 with Perkins/Reeves/Marcus, then obviously this year's studs, and potentially a group of McMillan/Booker/Garrett/etc next year, this staff could be putting together the nation's top LB unit in just two years of recruiting. Wow!

Williams?

I believe that the Buckeyes currently have 62 on the roster going into next year that is counting Hall coming back & with Hankins leaving (if I'm off on that anyone please feel to correct me).

What's the max they're allowed to get to? 82? Or is it 83? They're at 81 right now (including the 2013 class) so wouldn't that mean there is only one spot left? I keep seeing people say there are 4 spots left (which would mean three more people would be leaving the current roster, which is possible).

Hankins, Wood, and Reed still appear on that list, I don't know if you counted them or not, but that could be your 3

Thanks!

I counted Hankins as gone but I also included Jordan Hall as coming back. So I'm either still off by one or Brandon wasn't counting Hall.

If we started a thread on UM recruiting lemons 2013, LTT could join his buddy, Sugar Shane.
Well there is a thread for LTT. And it is in the 2013 Football Recruiting subforum. It needs to be unlocked and moved for I have a few choice words that will get me banned in this section.

Yeah, I edited my post a little bit later. I wasn't counting Hall, so yeah... they're at 81 right now.

Hurray for crowdsourcing!

So to correct my initial post: Ohio State has one open slot before transfers etc need to come into play.
