4-star LB Clifton Garrett, who recently named Ohio State his favorite, "will be announcing early, visiting OSU in Feb." He has a 97 rating on 247sports. If we can get him AND 5-star Raekwon McMillan, who also recently named OSU his favorite, Wow!

Didn't see it mentioned, but Mike Mitchell is now a 5* on Rivals.

Right, now excuse me as I sift through and endless amount of threads featuring you crying about mods, Justin, and the lack of quality/original threads. So what are you having for lunch today sleeper?

If they can pull those two in plus Booker as well it will be a LB haul for the ages. I keep hearing about how down people are saying next years class is but it seems like OSU has the potential to have a sickeningly good class.

People are saying down class for next year!? Are they retarded. Next year could be the best recruiting class we've had in my lifetime!

I think he meant down for the country as a whole, not OSU.

Yeah sorry, this is what I meant, it seems people aren't real high on the class overall, granted it is still obviously very early.

Also Connor Crowell has left the team for medical reasons and Joey O'Conner has transferred out to be closer to home.

Sucks about both of them but Joey had some promise...

if everyone committed comes, we'd have 1 more spot left. Expect to see a few more leave.

Jalin Marshall going to be a QB or WR? We are going to need a seasoned QB after Braxton win's 2 National titles and heads to the NFL.

Ezekiel Elliott has decided to take an official visit to Mizzou. Recently got a couple new offers from Texas and Texas Tech also. Not sure what to make of this, but it seems like he's opening things up a little.

Eh his dad said he's going on the visit but solid to osu. Guess you can never count the home school out, especially one both his parents were athlete at, but I think he's solid to osu.

Still worries me. The staff has said that they're recruiting Wilson as a type of hybrid and not a RB, but I get the feeling Elliott might not be happy about the new interest in Wilson after Kelly left Oregon. Hope he truly is "solid" to OSU.

Maybe so BUT if that's why.. Then that's very lame. You don't want any competition? I don't see him being that kind if kid, so let's hope not.

Not worried about EE at all. Just visiting the home school. Might as well use up all the visits. He isn't even visiting Texas despite the offer. Rest easy, he's going to OSU.

eh, wasn't Elliott told by Meyer that he was only taking one RB this year? If he was, maybe he isn't scared of competition, but doesn't like being lied to?

I don't think Meyer necessarily lied IF they truly aren't recruiting Wilson as an RB, but yes, they did promise Elliott that they would not recruit another player at his position.

Yeah but Diggs was never committed to OSU. EE has been for a long time and has pretty much been all about OSU ever since he committed. Sounds like the coaches even knew he was visiting unlike Munger's trip to Fl. State.

Wilson isn't a Rb. He's a hybrid player. He'd get little to no carries unless it was coming in motion. He's a wr.

I'm not really familiar with who OSU has in their class or who they've recruited unless ND has been involved, but has OSU recruited any other hybrid players? Every recruiting site has Wilson as an APB except ESPN which has him as an ATH.

They aren't recruiting him to get carries in the backfield. He'd be a slot guy, so his carries would be coming in motion.
