2023 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

There is some positivity towards guys like Downs, Harris, Lee, Denson, etc., but I can't say I am anywhere close to confident any of those names wind up in Columbus.

Hope this helps clear things up a bit...from all I can glean,Harris is a no and has been basically since Coombs left. But Kayin Lee is looking positive with recent crystal balls from Wiltfong and Mansell, the Georgia writer. And Caleb Downs is an Alabama/OSU battle acc. to Birm and Fong, but the Bama writer Joseph Hastings doesn't see Downs at Bama. And Mansell says it's OSU/Ga. Now that I see what I typed,I guess nothing got cleared up!

Info From 11W and 247 Sports.. Two Bama studs visiting Ohio St. this weekend.

James Smith is a 5* 3-tech DL from Montgomery Alabama. Ohio connection is his parents are from Cleveland and they love Larry Johnson. Dude goes
6'4,310 and plays like a bull in a china shop. Has size,strength and tenacity and projects as a first round draft choice. His h.s. teammate is Jaquavious Russaw, known as Qua, who is an edge rusher on the same Carver H.S. team. He is 6'2,230 and a 4*. Has the explosion, heavy hands, and excellent range and closing speed to be elite. James and Qua as you may guess are best friends and are saying they'll go to college together. They are expected on campus this weekend and then we'll see if they're serious about making a "business decision" or if the Bama pull will be too strong.

This class needs an elite big body in the defensive trenches. Smith is a tweener , as is Reed

This is a "tweener" to you? He's pretty large. And definitely in the elite category, imo.
