125. FL WR Devantee Peete
144. OH RB Darrin Hall

Getting just 2 players from this list would be huge! A lot of talent mentioned in the article.
From the names on the list from RB, there is a ton of national tAlent as well that Osu is in good shape with. Our roster will be considerably more diverse over the years with urban at the helm. Not as Ohio-heavy as when Tress was here.

Didn't find a 2015 general discussion thread and I figured we have enough offers out there to put together an extremely early wishlist for 2015. Of course this list will change alot, but here is a somewhat realistic wishlist. If we end up anywhere near this, look out, Let me know if I missed anyone:

QB: Brandon Wimbush
QB/ATH: Torrance Gibson
RB: Jacques Patrick
RB: Soso Jamabo (also see Natreace Strong)
TE: Chris Clark/CJ Conrad
WR: Van Jefferson/C.J. Sanders
WR: Christian Kirk
WR: Eric Glover-Williams
OL: Drew Richmond
OL: Steven Gonzalez
OL: Sterling Jenkins
OL: James Daniels
DE: Josh Sweat
DE: Jashon Cornell (probably a pipe dream)
DE: James Lockhart
DT: Tim Settle
DT: Darian Roseboro
LB: Sh'mar Kilby-Lane
LB: Justin Hilliard
LB: Jerome Baker
CB: Jamel Dean
CB: Shawn Crawford
DB: Minkah Fitzpatrick

Edit: Thanks for moving this, I couldn't find this thread for some reason.

With all of the talk of getting 2 QBs in 2015, it seems that winbush could be closest to being a Buckeye. And Gibson seems to be the dream/must get. But I still see it to be very hard to pull him from the south, and Florida in general. Our plan b, IMO, would be Kai locklsey, who is also a project but also a very good athletic QB in his own right. I hope we don't all get so enamored with just focusing on gibson(like it seemed we did for deshaun Watson for most of the 2014 recruiting cycle and then Brandon Harris briefly) that we lose sight of having multiple options. It's still early, and this should be an exciting class as whole(maybe Moreso than 2014), and the qb(or QBs) could be the face of Osu for some years.

Ohio State is also in a good position with Lorenzo Nunez.

I'm not sure Locksley has a legitimate offer. And Kurelic keeps talking up Jarrett Stidham for some reason but I just don't see that happening at all, and that's from talking to people on the Texas side of things. He will likely end up at Baylor or Oregon and sooner rather than later. And Kyler Murray ending up anywhere other than A&M would be a major surprise. I think Wimbush, Nunez and Gibson are the real targets at this very early stage.

I agree with all the names you mentioned. But I'm surprised theyre not after locklsey harder, but its still very very early. Wasn't sure if we took 2 of the 3 names were looking at or are winbush and Nunez in the same category as more polished passers and then we take a more athletic project like gibson
