tOSU Recruiting Discussion

What, no Grant or Burrows in there anywhere?

I only included Meyer recruits.

I'm not sure if Burrows was an early commit, but he's only a true freshman.

Gotcha, sometimes I have reading comprehension problems....

I'm not sure if Burrows was an early commit, but he's only a true freshman.

Burrows was ranked #12 at his position by Scout. That made him the 5th highest rated DB under Meyer and I only went with 4.

Just cause I like to play with the numbers (and not to place too much stock in the rankings) I took a look at the defensive recruiting since Meyer has come on board. Next season we could field a D that included:

DL - Washington, Spence, Bosa and Schutt
average rank at their position 3.5

LB - Mitchell, Berger and McMillan
average rank at their position 3.3 (2 if Scout rated McMillan appropriately)

DB - Reeves, Apple, Bell and Webb
average rank at their position 6.25


And FWIW, we could field a second team LB group of Perry, Booker and Hubbard
with an average rank at their position of 6.7


And for anybody who thinks Meyer is too offensive oriented, the numbers on the other side of the ball don't come close to this.

Not quite sure what to take from this given that, with the exception of the DLine, it seems quite far from the actual depth chart. At least right now.
I have no idea what to expect at LB and DB come August 2014.
I guess the point is that Meyer & co. have recruited exceptionally well -- but I don't think anyone has argued with that.

Dixon, Brown, Campbell, Mclaurin and Samuel in the 2014 class and Wilson, Marshall, Clark and Smith in the 2013 class plus walk on Jeff Greene.

That's just silly.

Best guess on how we close? With 19 in and 22 as the number I have seen it would seem that it is:

Lattimore
Smith
Solomon

Hopefully that and if it's 23 Bookser as well (unless Prince decides in the next month or two he would feel like leaving home ).

Also wouldn't hate a flip of Quin and/or Brown from UVA. Don't see it happening, but would gladly accept it.

With the early enrollees, is 22 the number?

 

[t_BuckeyeScott]

It's got to be close. All things are fluid but 22 assumes 1 attrition beyond Roby and Shazier to get to 82. I wouldn't be surprised with a couple beyond that.

 

[MD Buckeye]

Lattimore
Smith
Solomon

That's a safe guess. I fully expect Lattimore & Smith to be Buckeyes.

 

[wadc45]

I think the number ends up at 23.

Lattimore, Smith and then the best we can get or whoever commits first. There are a number highly touted guys we have a shot at. Does this 3 number involve shazier, brax staying?

 

[ShowMeBuck]

I think the number ends up at 23.

Assuming the 2 Tarblooders are in, who will be the other 2 in your best guess?

 

[t_BuckeyeScott]

I think the number ends up at 23.

Care to guess?
Smith, Lattimore, Thomas, Booker?

OL X?
