Neals dad was involved in recruiting allegations when he was a frosh, then moved him. Seems like a parent living life through son...so yeah a small/newton hybrid

We sent our wr coach, nd sent Kelly. Yet he talked about how great his osu visit was and can't wait to have meyer down to see him. Then ari wasserman tweeted that if he leaves Arizona, it'll be for only osu.

Just curious as to who he was talking to when he talked about how great his visit was? You realize how the different recruiting services work regarding reports, right?

Expected, but welcome none that less. Great pick up. Now we just need Reeves. :)

Just another ho-hum 4 star recruit for Urbs. Unreal.

I know Wasserman works for Buckeye Sports Bulletin, and has strong ties in Arizona. Don't know if that's who he was speaking to though. However, Wasserman is usually right on point.

“@AriWassermanBSB: A source close to Scottsdale (Ariz.) Chaparral's Davonte Neal told me he feels Neal won't leave the state of Arizona for anyone but OSU.”

Unlike most insiders, in this particular case Wasserman is from that area and personally knows someone at Neal's high school. I'd say his info is pretty solid on this one.

As far as any more recruits, I'd say we're getting close to the limit now. There are probably a couple slots open we aren't counting (because of medical waivers or known transfers to the staff), but it may not be much more than a couple or three.

Of course, there's lots of time between now and the fall (when OSU has to be at 82) and some players who haven't cracked the two-deep yet may decide to move on and create more space.

Osu likely can take 27 and be at 81 or 82, depending on if someone leaves.

Down to the last 2/3 spots and this is where things get dicey from a pr standpoint. We don't have all the information the staff does on who may or not be leaving for various reasons. We (and everyone else) will be left to speculate as to spots available and whether or not we're "oversigned". I suspect we'll be over the number for awhile and we'll see some guys leave that we suspected were going to go (as of now) leave and the shit storm of "pot calling the kettle black" shit starts.

The bottom line is that we're being too closely monitered to do anything that resembles an NCAA violation or quite frankly anything that appears unethical. Have faith that our monitoring will see that we don't overstep our bounds.

I have absolute faith this staff knows exactly how many spots are/will be open. They're all too experienced and good at this part of their jobs for me to feel otherwise.

Rumor is Reeves is a Buckeye as well. Whether true or not Urban is straight up fleecing Penn State right now.
