2023 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Yeah, that Glenville pipeline has been kinda quiet in recent years.

I think its going to ramp back up big time, around here a lot of the top area players are transferring to Glenville this offseason.

He is a DUDE, We played and scouted him when he played for Euclid last season. Think Tackett Curtis with more athleticism

They are also recruiting Bryce West, a class of 24 DB from Glenville. He's supposed to visit a few times to watch spring practice.

THE BOARD
PROSPECT POSITION RANK PREV. RATING OTHERS IN THE MIX
RICHARD YOUNG RB 1 2 ★★★★★ Alabama•Georgia•Oklahoma
CARNELL TATE WR 2 3 ★★★★★ Notre Dame•Alabama•Tennessee
CHASE BISONTIS OL 3 4 ★★★★ Michigan State•Rutgers•Notre Dame
SAMSON OKUNLOLA OL 4 5 ★★★★★ Notre Dame•Penn State•Georgia
AJ HARRIS CB 5 6 ★★★★★ Florida•Clemson•Georgia
TACKETT CURTIS LB 6 NA ★★★★ Wisconsin•Stanford•Miami
AJ HOFFLER DL 7 7 ★★★★ Georgia•Clemson
MALIK HARTFORD S 8 8 ★★★★ Michigan State•Cincinnati•Michigan
OLAUS ALINEN OL 9 NA ★★★★ Alabama•Florida•USC
CALEB DOWNS S 10 NA ★★★★★ Clemson•Alabama•Notre Dame
BRANDON INNISS WR 11 NA ★★★★★ USC•Alabama•Georgia

On this 11W big board, I can honestly say that OSU has a legit shot at 8 of these guys: Young, Tate, Bisontis, Harris, Curtis, Hoffler, Hartford, Downs. And that's as of March 6. I could see a name or 2 being swapped for another(i.e. Inniss for Downs or Bisontis for Okunlola). Would've liked to see some more DL on the list, but the recruiting cycle is still very early

Probably Amauri Washington (dl-Ariz.)would be a good candidate.

I thought Derrick LeBlanc would also appear on that list

So did Chuggs! Sounds like LeBlanc and Kirkland are committing July 23rd. Don't know if it's a dual thing or separate, but they're expected to pick the same school and it's very likely not a school in Columbus.

The Dean is reporting we offered Arvell Reese from Glenville today.

Birm talked with Reese and it must have been positive because Birm gives a 70% chance on him committing to the Bucks.

Goodness gracious recruits look young today

To expound on your point, if you go back and look at his highlights where he's popping ball carriers like they're crash test dummies, and then look at
these pics, you'd probably never believe it's the same kid.

Yeah, some of the players in the 80s looked like they were in their 30's, had 2 kids, putting in hours in a steel mill and still found time to play CFB

These MFers were still in college!

That looks like Eric Dickerson, and thats a pretty fresh style he had I might add, all the way down to the frames.

Yeah, and he looked like he's an uncle of one of the SMU players

DE-OLB Caleb Herring is a 4* class of '23 edge rusher that will visit Ohio St. on March 26th. Brother plays for the Vols but he insists that's no factor for him and he's interested in playing for a winner. His current size is 6'5,220 and he plays for Murfreesboro Riverdale H.S. (info from Rivals).
