Seantrel Henderson

Fred Davis was nothing like Henderson, Pryor, or Brown. He just didn't wanted to go to U$C over Ohio State and decided to wait till the very last minute to announce he was leaving his home state. I don't equate that to Pryor, Henderson, or Brown. Those 3 played games. To my knowledge, there was no "game playing" with Davis.

Guess you were just fired from the 'Spelling and Grammar' police.

Ohio State fans and recruiting analysts alike knew they were getting a rock star recruiter in Urban Meyer when he took the head coaching job back in November, but what they didn't know was how Meyer would go about bringing in top rated classes to Columbus year in and year out.
While people like myself are still trying to figure out the method to his madness, things are becoming a bit more clear. Each day it is easier to tell what constitutes a committable or non-committable offer, as the way Ohio State's coaches go after certain players tells the tale of how the really feel about them.
For example, someone like Malik Zaire never had his offer confirmed by Ohio State, but rather was told to come to camp in the summer so the coaches could see him throw. Verdict: uncommittable offer. On the contrary, someone like Joey Bosa is being aggressively pursued by Meyer himself and the Bucks are looking to accept a commitment from him at any time. Verdict: committable offer.
One player who falls into the latter category and is high up there on OSU's big board is Wichita Falls (TX) Rider QB JT Barrett. Barrett is currently the top priority for the Buckeyes when it comes to quarterback, and for good reason, as he is one of the nation's best. Barrett has been rated as a 4-star prospect and the nation's top dual-threat quarterback by 247 Sports (#38 overall), while also recently earning an invite to the prestigious Elite 11.
