Im really excited over this class.

I think it will be our best since '02.

So many good big athletes in state next year, and other states leaning to OSU.

 

[RB07OSU]

Ok let's assume we have 17-18 'ships to give out next year...your best (very, very early) guess. Mine:
QB- Terrelle Pryor PA
RB- Jamal Womble AZ
TE- Kyle Rudolph OH
TE/WR- Jake Stoneburner OH
WR- Cordale Scott OH
OL- J.B. Shugarts TX
OL- Mike Adams OH
OL- Micheal Brewster FL
OL- Kyle Long VA
DE- Nathan Williams OH
DT- Shawntell Rowell OH
DT- Willie Mobley MN/Josh Jenkins WV
LB- Brandon Beachum OH
LB- Shayne Hale PA
LB/RB- DeVoe Torrence OH
LB- Jon Major CO
DB- Dan McCarthy OH
ATH- Brandon Green IL/Johnny Adams OH
- I was tempted to put Watson and Tate on here, but I am pessimistic on some OOS guys(especially from Maryland with Tate). Also if we don't offer Major, I think we get Sweat. I also think the only long shots would be Mobley and Jenkins at this point. Of course this class is likely to good to be true and we won't end up with it, I don't think any of the guys on that list are stretches. Also it's a good balance of Ohio and OOS boys with 9-10 Ohio guys, and 7-8 OOS guys.

I really hope we can land Terrance Parks, he's my most wanted player in the 08 class.

Long shot at best...I doubt we get more than a passing glance.

Long shot at best...I doubt we get more than a passing glance.

I thought he listed us as the early leader...

 

[RhodeIslandBuck]

I thought he listed us as the early leader...

As did I

 

[OSUnumber45]

He did list us as his leader. Then proceeded to say he really wants to stay in the south and go to one of the Florida school. I'm guessing he named us as his leader to get some big name attention from the other programs.

 

[RB07OSU]

I thought he listed us as the early leader...

He did and I almost listed him, but I think he stays south.

I think we probably end up with 15, just like this year.

I also think with Dionte Johnson graduating that we probably pick up a Fullback. Maybe Zordich? who could also play LB. Other possibility is Spitler to FB or even Rolle. Moving Spitler would be my first choice because we are sooooooo deep at LB. Concerning Rolle, to be honest, I was more impressed with his blocking as a FB than I was with his play as a LB, and I thought he was very good at LB. As a FB he just blew people up as a lead blocker and also showed nice running skills.

I really hope we can land Stoneburner and Scott as WR's. I love their size and playmaking ability. Fairchild or Adams would also be nice in the slot.

Spitler will be a fb next year...I do believe that he has already moved...

OT: Mike Adams
OT: JB Shugarts
OG: Michael Brewster

SLB: Brandon Beachum
SLB: Andrew Sweat
MLB: Shayne Hale
DT: Shawntel Rowell
DT: Josh Jenkins

I wouldn't be surprised if this next class ends up being 19-20. I think all of the talk of 2008 being a small class is overblown after banking as many scholarships as we did this year.
