A LOT of talent there for the taking.

OSU is going to clean up Ohio this year imo.

They already have #4 and #5, and they could be looking at a couple more Top 10 guys within a month or two.

I didn't know Stoudt was that highly rated. From everything I've heard, Braxton Miller will be heading to Columbus, but is OSU recruiting both top QB's?

I would rather OSU take Miller and the Jones from Glenville both over Stoudt.

OSU is going after Miller and then Jones.

Ron Tanner from Eastmoor has been offered and will probably be a commit to OSU!

Scout says he has High interest in Michigan and Northwestern. Only Low interest in OSU...

He was just offered by OSU last week and he may be Buckeye soon.

Playing time will be a major factor for Doran Grant the kid's said in many articles that playing time is HUGE for him. Also surprised to not see Fremont Ross's Greg Brown on this list but at the same time not surprised. The kid's attitude need's a serious adjustment and he's certainly not going to get it from Derek Kidwell.

Expect Ohio State and Michigan to battle for Trey Depreist. The kid grew up a Michigan fan but being in ohio and having pro ohio state family makes this a serious battle. The longer the battle goes the better it will be for Michigan imo.

If OSU gets Miller then Depreist will be a Buckeye imo.

This is the sworst list ever

Package deal's usually never turn out to be package deal's in the end. I expect Miller to be a buckeye eventually but depriest I think goes alot longer and is much more interesting.

Although it's also been rumored recently that Miller is not the lock that most assume him to be.

I think Cole Stoudt is good, but a tad overrated

I was talking to a couple Buckeye Grove writers today at the bball game and they said that they think Tanner will be committing to the Bucks soon.

This is BKs early top ten from ESPN and Bucknuts. A much better list.

1) Braxton Miller
2) Kenny Hayes
3) Steve Miller
4) Doran Grant
5) Trey DePriest
6) Chris Rock
7) Shane Wynn
8) A.J. Jordan
9) Ray Hamilton
10) Jarrett Grace

First problem with these other lists is Audrey Walker. He has frame and potential but is a major project. I don't think he is top ten. Also the scout list has strudivant above Depriest that is very surprising. I like Stridivant a lot but that is the first list I've seen that had him ahead of depriest.

Tanner a low interest in OSU? Man their facts are so wrong!

Scout.com or Scouts.inc list aren't going to stay the same very long. Their rankings come from early BCS offer sheets.

What's the thought on Chris Boles? I know he's a huge guy but i've never seen him play before.
