tOSU Recruiting Discussion

[Oh8ch]

I've got us with 17 open spots counting a spot for Miller and Spence.

QB- Miller, Barrett, Jones, Collier- 4
RB- Ball, Dunn, Elliott, Samuel- 4
WR- Smith, Thomas, Wilson, Brown, Campbell, Clark, Dixon, Marshall, McLaurin- 9
TE- Vannett, Baugh- 2
OL- Boren, Decker, Farris, Underwood, Dodson, Elflein, Jones, Jones, Knox, Lisle, Price, Taylor, Trout- 13
DT- Carter, Schutt, Washington, Hill, Munger, Sprinkle, Thompson- 7
DE- Spence, Bosa, Holmes, Lewis, Slade- 5
LB- Bogard, Perry, Williams, Johnson, Berger, Booker, Hubbard, Lee, McMillan, Worley- 10
CB- Reeves, Apple, Conley, Lattimore, Webb- 5
S- Tanner, Burrows, Bell, Powell, Hooker, Smith- 6
ST- Haynes, Johnston, Nuernberger- 3

Total- 68

85-68= 17

This assumes a spot for Spence, and that Greene is not on scholarship.

There are 7 players that will be 5th year players- Miller, Vannett, Farris, Underwood, Carter, Tanner, Haynes.

We have 20 commits, so right now we are 3 over unless I'm wrong.

spence could be put on a non-athletic scholarship since he is indefinitely suspended? i have no idea more of a question i guess.

Assuming his issue is substance abuse, he may be able to qualify for a medical exemption that allows him to stay on scholarship without counting against the 85 limit.

Substance abuse may be a more substantial medical condition than some of the conditions used by certain SEC coaches for the medical exemptions that allow them to over sign.

PREP TRACKER: FARRELL SHINES IN DEFEAT, BURROW, WARD CONTINUE UNDEFEATED SEASONS

Loading up: Top committed position groups

OHIO STATE LINEBACKERS

THE NAMES:
Jerome Baker, Cleveland (Ohio) Benedictine
Nick Conner, Dublin (Ohio) Scioto
Justin Hilliard, Cincinnati (Ohio) St. Xavier

THE SITUATION:
A homegrown trio of four-star linebackers, Ohio's State crop of committed talent at the position is overwhelming. The haul includes the No. 1-ranked inside linebacker (Hillard) and the No. 5-ranked outside linebacker (Baker). Conner, who also plays inside, had a spectacular summer camp circuit and took home positional MVP honors at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge presented by Under Armour.

THE CREAM OF THE CROP:
Hilliard is the highest touted prospect of the group and for good reason. He knows how to use his 225-pound almost perfectly and has built a reputation on quickness and jarring hits. Hillard is a disruptive force in the backfield but is also capable in coverage.

Lot of talk about Sweat at UGA right now but they already have 6 DEs committed according to that article...

Silly Wad, you must forget that UGA is in the Sec and they may finish with 10 DEs by NSD and no one will think twice down south

Crystal Ball Points To Ohio State For Bowen, Gallimore

BM5: Closing Out 2015 Class; No Snow; Hoops Starts Tonight

Detailed report by Gleitman, most of which is probably old news to most of you. I found the DT info most interesting - the biggest position of need IMO. Here are his comments:

RB: Not much new. Harris, Weber, Scott. tOSU still feels good about their chances with Harris. Mentions Scarlett as a darkhorse possibility.

WR: Has intel that Cager doesn't like our depth chart (too loaded). Thinks he'll go to ND. Says to keep an eye on Van Jefferson.

OL: Predicts Bowen and Burrell to Bucks. Also mentions James, Wariboko, Prince.

DT: Predicts Gallimore to Bucks. Predicts Wilkins to PSU. Watch for possible offer to Raequan Williams.

DE: Doesn't think Bucks land Beckner, Sweat, or Gustin.

DB: Watch Garrett Taylor, Mykelti Williams, and Anthony Mckee if Carlton Davis decommits.

Wow, we seem to be getting close. All we would need for balance would be a RB, a DT, and maybe a WR.

I'd rather have a RB, OL and DT. Or even a RB and 2 OL. Linemen and defense win championships

 

[buckeye4ever21]

If we fill with those 3 positions our wants would be: Harris, Richmond/Wariboko, Gallimore.
As of right now I think we get Weber, Bowen, Gallimore. With the talk about no one stepping up at the back up DT positions, that really is the most glaring need.
