HEAT CHECK: FOUR NEW NAMES CRACK THE BOARD AS OHIO STATE ATTEMPTS TO PUT ITS FINISHING TOUCHES ON THE 2024 RECRUITING CLASS
We’re less than three weeks away from National Signing Day on Dec. 20.
As such, this will be the final edition of the Heat Check for the 2024 class. When we put out our next edition sometime in January, it will be with an eye towards the 2025 class.
Currently, Ohio State’s 2024 class sits at 22 commits, as it suffered a blow late Wednesday after five-star defensive tackle Justin Scott flipped from OSU to Miami. As you might expect, the final Heat Check is very front-loaded with potential defensive line replacements with that consideration in mind.
With only a few spots remaining in OSU’s 2024 class, we’ve narrowed things down to seven potential targets for the Buckeyes in December. Three out of seven would have to be flipped from other schools.
In case you need a reminder, the criteria used to select the top targets for Eleven Warriors’ monthly Ohio State recruiting board editorial is based on many factors, including roster needs for the program in future seasons, the caliber of each player and how likely that player is to sign with the Buckeyes.
This late in the year, we’ll be a little more loose with the last category, since there’s always at least a puncher’s chance a target could end up in Columbus.
