tOSU Recruiting Discussion

I don't think I've ever been so excited to see how the WR and DB classes will close. I just wish a couple of the dominoes would start falling because the final plans about numbers and the ideal finish are still unclear. Wade, DJP, Okudah and Grimes are all have 1st round size and talents. The matchup battles in practice have to be a huge selling point here because it's essentially the best against the best for 3 to 4 years everyday in practice. That development alone competing against each other should push both groups to New heights quickly in their development. Would love to see us close with home runs at both positions because both position groups have the chance to be legendary. I know this is remature but I'm extremely impressed with every aspect of our coaching staff and their player development.

Great stuff @Smudger , @RB07OSU & @wadc45 . Only thing I don't agree with is Jaylen Harris being on the outside looking in. I believe he has an OFFER & has a spot if he wants it.
I hope I'm wrong on that front, I really do. I can see him potentially added down the line to be sure, but I like where we currently stand with Grimes & Lindsey.

Its too close to call right now on how many more guys will be added & at what positions. DB is certainly the biggest ? and the staff is going to entertain some of the nation's best at positions filled already. If they miss out there, they'd be more than happy to add Harris, but I think that will be settled later in the process.

I know at one point, Harris definitely had an "OFFER" and he very well still may. My only change on that front is a gut feeling ever since Lindsey looks so likely and the pending numbers crunch. There's no doubt that he's more than talented enough to be in this class and I truly hope he does end up in this class to pair another monstrous receiver with Grimes. Personally, I think he does end up here but later on after we sort out numbers. Only reason I don't have him as an "OFFER" now is because if he wanted to commit today, I'm not positive what the staff would do.

Looking to me like QB and DT recruiting is same situation to finish out the class. We take elite guys to add or nothing based on the '16 haul, expected '17 haul and the way things are tending for '18. It seems like it is Tate or bust at QB and Tufele/Wilson or bust at DT. I know there are more DT names but they appear to be a second tier group and with 2 good DTs in the class already and things looking good with guys like Taron Vincent in '18 it seems there isn't a rush to add another unless they are elite. Same story with QB when you have Clark already in '17 and things trending nicely for Jones in '18.
