OHIO STATE football recruiting.

[Redfox]

Ohio State has four commits. so far what do you think about recruiting this year.[:D]

[bleedorange]

Mike Adam's is the #1 player in the state is the beast lineman 6'7" 305 that OSU needs at RT. Ben Buchanan is a good kicker/punter out of Westerville. I got to see him in high school action twice last year. I am very please where this class seems to be headed.

Firts of all...you live in Canada...Shut Up! Second, this is a thread about OSU recruiting. No one here asked for your ridiculous link to some site that wants to trya dn make fun of one of the most highly touted colleges in all of U.S.

tsk tsk tsk...testy arent we?

[Turk88]

Not testy..I just don't see the point in coming into this thread and bashing the Buckeyes. If you don't like the Buckeyes...fine! Go to a thread (like in Smack Talk) or make your own thread bashing the bucks. This one is for recruiting and what you posted has nothing to do with Buckeye recruting. The only reason you posted this was to be an arse. Just not very mature of you.

[Redfox]

Ohio State added recruit # 5 today OL Mike Adams rated the top player in Ohio.[:D]

[bengal_fan_in_toronto]

it was a joke it was a link it was one line long far from hijacking the thread...obviously it got your panties in a bunch...and I wont shut up cause i'm from Canada...talk about being a mature that wasnt very mature of you. Two wrongs dont make a right.
I get free health care...now i'm being an arse.

well ohio state had just recruited one of my schools seniors hes amzingly talented

[USMC/Ret.]

Got a old officer of mine sent me an e-mail on how horrible Ohio State was this year (because of Florida) and how bad we will be this season because of everyone going to the draft. I had to remind him about all the recruits Ohio State gets and how no matter who leaves we are always good. The example i used... Hawk. Carpetner. Sclegal (spelling) leaving and how bad the defense was suppossed to be because of that got him to start talking from his mouth and not his arse:)

He may be good but to compare him to Bush is a little premature...there nothing alike!!

I said at BEST he was like Bush, at worst he's Hall. They have similar traits, but I'm not prepared to say he's going to be the best ever. Just point out he has good potential.

[brdhggns]

ohio state stinks along with Brandon Saine and all the other stupid ohio state recruites. now if u want to see a good recruiting class look to the north. look to michigan. they got the number two qb coming in

Once again we get someone that wants to talk smack in the wrong forum. First of all I would suggest you learn how to capitalize words that require that. I am sure they probably don't teach anything like this at the school up North though. Second, why not trying to start your very own thread about recruiting for that school you seem to love so much? Maybe thatnis because you would be the only one in that thread?

Just curious! [:D]

[Redfox]

Ohio State added recruit #9 Andrew Sweat one of the top LB in the country. He picked OSU over ND.[:D]

[Buckeyehitman]

I saw that. I had heard that this recruiting class was like LB heaven, and it seems like we are wasting no time getting the best. I can't wait.....OH

most of the privy info you have to pay for but you can get what you need as far as recruiting goes...basic information anyways. Who they are...where they are from...height weight, 40 times, 3, 4,5 star players.

Ohio State added recruit #10 in DT Garrett Goeble he's a good one.[:D]

[Redfox]

Ohio State added recruit #11 today in TE Nic Dilillo from Ohio.[:D]

[Buckeyehitman]

Our recruiting class for next year is going to be AWESOME. The one from this past year was kind of lackluster, but this one looks to be unbelievable.

[Redfox]

Last year's class was good but not up to Ohio State standards this year's class is already better and going to get even better.[:D]

[Redfox]

Ohio State has added two recruits for 2009 Storm Klein LB from Ohio and Jordan Whiting a LB from Kentucky both are rated high.

[whodey0731]

One of my good friends is actually Storm Klein's cousin. The kid is only a junior right now and already a beast. He will be a great LB for us

[HearUsRoar]

Dang it, I wanted to be the first to mention that.

This friend has sent us game tape over email of Storm, he is ridiculous. The kid is strong as an ox. Yet another example of Tressel being the genius he is going out and finding these uber-quick muscle-bound running backs and converting them into tackling machines at LB.

God, I love Saturdays.

[spinksjinx]

OSU should have tried to recruit Josh Jenkins...Tressel said he would start today if he would come but didnt seem to put much pressure on it..Google him, the kid is an outright beast.

[Turk88]

Ohio State has added two recruits for 2009 Storm Klein LB from Ohio and Jordan Whiting a LB from Kentucky both are rated high.

I can not wait for us to have a LB named Storm!!! Think of all the crazy things we can do with that!!! God Love the Buckeyes!!!!

[Jasonew6]

Last year's class was good but not up to Ohio State standards this year's class is already better and going to get even better.[:D]

You mean this years freshmen?

Brandon Saine, Dane Sanzenbacher, and Cameron Heyward alone make it a good class. Not to mention what we will see from Herron, Washington and Clifford.

My friend brought up a good point. When we had Laurinitis and AJ Hawk, we had HAWK and Animal. He said it would've been awesome if when they ran out on the field they played the Legion of Doom theme.

[whodey0731]

The perfect Storm!

right now as a junior, he is 6'-3", 220, and ran a 4.45 40 yard dash. he is text book OSU linebacker. While he will be an amazing LB, you should see him as a rb, he can make guys miss, or run over them, whatever he chooses

Where did you see he runs a 4.45? The scouting report I saw had him in the 4.6 range.


Ht: 6-1 Wt: 170 40: 4.6
Position: CB, WR
Year: Class of 2008

Bucknuts.com is the one that said he runs a 4.45 40. I wouldn't be surprised to see them turn him into a Safety.

I know what you mean Turk, every year we lose a great player on D, like AJ, I'm like, "oh great, now what?" Then comes along his replacement and you watch him play for the first time and it's "oh, okay, Tressel did it again."

Well, I would not say Tressel per say...but yeah...after Hawk and the rest of that D left I thought we would be in trouble...I had seen enough of Animal to know he would be good, but I had no idea everyone else would step up and play like they have.

It is very true when they say that us Buckeyes don't rebuild...we reload!

He has an entire staff that does recruiting with him....yes..he can recruit...but heck...I could recruit for OSU...the school and the program sells itself.

I just think we need to give credit to the entire staff and not just Tressel. It makes me mad when I hear things like "Tressel sure can coach LBs" And other statements that attribute things to him that may not be his doing.

Let's give some credit to Luke Fickel! :cool:

I know it's not a one-man job but I was just picking one person, obviously that's Tressel. I don't know enough about the other recruiters to even name them by name.

Bottom line is we recruit well and yes I agree the program sells itself. Thank God we have someone who can coach though because another program that sells itself (SOMEHOW) is Notre Dame.

Luke Fickell is an amazing LB coach, he keeps this up and he'll be a DC somewhere. They had the Ohio State/Penn State game from 1996 on the other day, and I got to see him, Vrabes, Bellisari (the good one), Winfield, Hoying and Eddie George. It was a good game.

Tressel does better at recruiting than many give him credit for. He's the one that says we are going to control the state of Ohio in recruiting. Most of the country was like "so what, do it, you'll lose." It is only now that the rest of the country realize that Ohio is a hotspot for talent.

The school sells itself to SOME recruits, but others aren't as easy. Turks right, he doesn't deserve all the credit, but I give him every bit that I can.

Yeah...we would have to have the #1 ranked recruiting class

[HearUsRoar]

Is Sabino leaning toward OSU or Florida? Rivals.com has him as the top LB recruit in the nation but they also have him with Florida at the top of his list.

Does anyone have info. that shows he's leaning towards us? And sorry if I glossed over a post that touched on this.

[Redfox]

Ohio State received verbale # 14 from Sabino the top rated ILB in the country he's from Florida and a good one.

[Redfox]

I guess now we are waiting on Pryor-Jenkins-Mobley-Scott-Thompson not sure how many we can take if they want to commit all of them i hope.

[SouthernStripes]

Ohio State received verbale # 14 from Sabino the top rated ILB in the country he's from Florida and a good one.


The Buckeyes have won a big recruiting battle over USC as Miami (Fla.) Krop linebacker Etienne Sabino, appearing at halftime of the Tennessee-Samford game on ESPN U, has made public his commitment to Ohio State. Sabino becomes verbal commitment No. 14 in an OSU recruiting class that is expected to number at least 16 on national signing day.


Etienne Sabino has very good size and is a very physical player. Sabino is at his best when things come his way. He sheds blockers well and knows how to fight through traffic and make the play. He is a sound tackler and a big hitter at times. He attacks with aggression and takes good angles. Sabino does move well laterally and has the ability to chase things down.
One of the top linebacker prospects in the entire state of Florida, Sabino finished his junior season with 131 tackles and eight sacks; he benches 370 pounds and has a 32-inch vertical jump.

[HearUsRoar]

Sweet!! Does he have any more visits remaining? Anyone know? This verbal commitment could fall by the wayside if he goes somewhere else and is wowed. It's happened in the past so I'm just curious if anyone knows if he has said, "no more visits"...? But this is big. Rivals.com loves this guy. I can't believe how fast he is.

[Redfox]

Having commited on national tv i would think he is pretty solid on his commitment but like you said strange things have happend in the past.

[HearUsRoar]

Having commited on national tv i would think he is pretty solid on his commitment but like you said strange things have happend in the past.

I agree. On national tv it's pretty likely, especially being a senior. And especially having a teammate who's already committed to OSU as well. The only reason I brought it up was, and now I can't remember his name, there was a LB committed to another big name school a couple years ago and during the high-school all-star game changed his declaration and went to Tennessee instead. But I think things like that are the exception, not the rule, obviously.

Linebacker U strikes again baby!

What do you guys think of Terrelle Pryor ?

He is considering OSU.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE-TH096R-8


Pryor has great size and good quickness and speeed. He shows a good arm and great athletic ability in the pocket. He is a “Vince Young” type of signal caller in that is very dangerous in the open field because he has the ability to make a move or run right through would be tacklers. As a passer Pryor shows a good arm and can throw with accuracy and touch.

Rivals.com has him as the top recruit in the nation as a Junior. He's definitely got the size. 6'6" 230 pounds. He throws for a lot of touchdowns but runs for even more. The only problem I see is the td/int ratio. His junior year it was 15 td's and 11 int's. A scrambling qb might tend to throw on the run which could lead to more int's I suppose. I would gladly take the int problem considering all his strengths :lol:

I just salivate when I think what this kid could do with Tressel's coaching.

Remember Troy Smith was a run first QB, and then he was taught to go through his progressions and run only when absolutely necessary.

I think if Pryor is given that kind of coaching, he'll be receptive to it. Most coaches will go the Vince Young route and let the do whatever they want, just as long as they win, but when they get to the NFL their passing is exposed.

I like how Tressel has handled the QBs as of late.

I like how Tressel has handled the QBs as of late.

Me too.


I mean his with his size and athletic ability , then to have Tressel help him hone his skills.

*wipes mouth

He rushed for 1,676 yards on 197 attempts (8.7 average). He completed 92 of 163 passes for 1,732 yards. He threw for 15 touchdowns and scored 29, including one as a receiver.

Listed as QB/WR on scout.com.



He made his official visit to OSU on Nov. 2. A week ago today.

I know its early , any word on his thoughts of his trip ?

They said he was quite impressed with Ohio State. He liked the facilities, the fans and the atmosphere. All in all the trip was as good as you can hope for.

here is a good list of recruits

[NATI BENGALS]

Rich Rodriguez is getting on my nerves already. They said he called a recuit before he even announced he was going to UM. And you know who that was. Terrelle Pryor. They just got Mallet they better not steal this kid from us. I think Pryor took WVU off his list too. Hopefully Tressel will sell him on the fact that he will win the Heisman for sure if he commits. And I really dont wanna see this guy at UM.

Pryor said he wants to see Ohio State run the spread more before he makes his decision.

Antonio Henton was promoted to backup QB behind Boeckman and Schoenhoft was switched to TE (yes Tight End).

It could be possible that Tress could throw some spread gadget plays into the game to show what we can do.

Thats nutz they switched him to TE. Where did you hear that at?

They might have some inside info that Pryor is coming if they did all that. Or their just acting like they did all those things to make him more interested.

I wouldnt mind seeing some new looks thrown out there in the championship game. But you never know what could happen.

There is a radio show here in Columbus called "Shark on Sports." Sometimes they have Jeff Logan on there he was a RB for us back in the day and he still gets some inside information from the school.

Tress said it is just for scouting and practice purposes, but it is hard to believe that if the team looks good in that formation that it won't become permanent.

It really had nothing to do with Pryor, it is just for the game against LSU. However, if we see some spread formations in the NC game it's hard to believe that it isn't to try to impress Pryor. However, I'd be surprised because that's not really Tress' style.

As of now here's how the recruiting stands for Michigan & Ohio State from espn updated 12/20/2007:

College football: OSU gets its fourth 2009 commitment

Saturday, December 29, 2007 3:03 AM
By Tim May (tmay@dispatch.com)




THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH


Jack Mewhort yesterday became the fourth prospect to commit to Ohio State's recruiting class of 2009, and he said there was a good reason why he decided to pull the trigger so early.


"I couldn't think of a reason not to," said the 6-foot-6, 285-pound offensive lineman, a junior at Toledo St. John. "I got offered last Friday and I really had to hold myself back from committing right then."

Recruiting analyst Bill Kurelic said he has never seen anything like this: Four players are committed to the 2009 class even before Ohio State has finished its 2008 class, which has 16 members headed possibly to 18 on signing day in February.
"It shows that, with most of the 2008 class already in the fold, the coaches have turned their attention to next year," said Kurelic, who projects Mewhort to be the No. 1 line prospect in the state next season.

Is Mallet definitely leaving UM?

I think we have a 50/50 shot still. If Mallet is truly leaving all that does is make Rich's plea to Pryor even stronger, but if Pryor is considering OSU that shouldn't matter. It's going to be one of two places, unfortunately the other place is our most hated enemy.

It said on Rivals.com that Rodriguez said he is most likely gone on the Jim Rome Radio show. It also said on Michigan Daily New him, Manningham and Arrington have all played there last downs for Michigan. Time will only tell I guess but it seems he is gone.

I'm not going to throw my 2 cents in at all, for fear of jinxing something. I like that his position coach's gut feeling is OSU though. That certainly helps.

This announcement has the feel of an actual game between OSU and the team up-north.

[nford]

is tomorrow the last day to commit i heard he wanted more time to visit oregon which i believe he is just living all of this up being treated like a god on each college campus he visits and who can blame him? but what i have heard its about 90% osu. but if he were to suprise and go else where i would much rather it be oregon than mich

Tomorrow is Commitment Day but it's not required 100% (think about it, anyone going to turn down Terrell Pryor if he waits a couple weeks??) but he's changed his mind recently (according to rivals.com and sportsillustrated.com) and will announce tomorrow starting around noon.

And Oregon is officially off his radar list, he told their coaches that yesterday. It's down to two teams: THE Ohio State University and some team up north.

This time tomorrow I will have suffered heart failure...one way or another. :lol:

The Mallett decision really scared me. :nervous:
Hopefully the Henton/Schoenhoft situation only counters it.

[Buckeyehitman]

I would be surprised to see Torrence get an offer from another major college program. He will likely have to play Junior College ball and transfer or go to a MAC school or something that can afford to take the risk.

As for Pryor, if he declares tomorrow, great, if not, as far as I'm concerned he can get lost. I don't want another diva running around THE Ohio State University. I mean Kenyon Rambo, #13 etc, enough is enough, either you want to play for us or you don't.

I still want him to come here but he is being a little diva-ish right now. He's apparently decided not to announce today because he hasn't visited Penn State yet. Give me a break dude. If Penn State was really the answer you would have made at least one visit prior to Announcement Day!

i read that the penn state visit was because his dad asked him too. i can respect that, but i dont think he has any idea what he wants. one day he says he likes oregon and wants to visit and the next he says he is ruling them out. then one day he is definitely going to osu or um and the next day he isnt sure and wants to visit psu. the kid has no idea what he wants and is going to miss a lot of valuable spring practice and drill time regardless of where he goes

Well where the he.. has Papa Pryor been? You tell your kid the day before Announcement Day that you wish he'd check out this one last school? Joe-Pa went to visit him a month ago. The kid (and his dad) have had plenty of oppourtunities to check it out. This is just another unnecessary publicity stunt. Just decide (to go to OSU) already.

Did anyone else see this from a recent eSPiN article ranking recruiting classes.

Yes, the Buckeyes have 16 commitments (insert by me: 10 of which are on the ESPN Top 150 Watch List) and this class is very strong, but we cannot put Ohio State ahead of LSU (insert by me: with 12) and Georgia (insert by me: with 11) until these prospects prove their worth on the field.

Does that mean the recruits for LSU and Georgia don't have to "prove their worth on the field"??? They are great because they are going to LSU and Georgia??? SEC bias???

It certainly doesn't make sense to me.

Granted, LSU and Georgia are in the SEC and the SEC as a whole is a stronger conference but OSU is an elite program. All 3 schools are probably about equal when discussing powerhouses.

I can't come up with a good reason why OSU's players have to prove themselves on the field while the LSU and UGA players don't...unless there is a bias.

4. Ohio State
16 verbal commitments

Linebacker Dorian Bell is one of 10 ESPN 150 Watch List prospects committed to Ohio State.
Yes, the Buckeyes have 16 commitments and this class is very strong, but we cannot put Ohio State ahead of LSU and Georgia until these prospects prove their worth on the field. Outside linebacker Dorian Bell (Monroeville, Pa./Gateway) is a special talent and will fill needed depth once he arrives. Center Jack Mewhort (Toledo, Ohio/St. John) is very underrated and talented. Defensive front help is a need and DE Melvin Fellows (Garfield Heights, Ohio) and DT John Simon (Youngstown, Ohio/Cardinal Mooney) are both excellent additions. Wide receiver Chris Fields (Painesville, Ohio/Thomas W. Harvey) can run and has return abilities as well.

Brown is UT or UGA.

How bout my Heels?!?!?!?!

[BRB]

Berry is fully comitted to OSU, there are no worries there.

The only worry is that he may not have good enough grades to make the team, which would force him to go to junior college, go to another program, or try and lift those grades somehow, but OSU is confident it will work out.

As far as Marlon Brown, we still have a shot, but it's a very slim one.

Jamaal Berry has received his LOI from Ohio State, so he should be good with admissions.

Florida, Ole Miss, and LSU have sent their LOI's as well.

well we lost justin green today not a good way to start the day before signing day

OSU is racking them up again. Depending on who you ask their class is rated between #1 and #4.

Interesting factoid about one of their recruits, LB Jordan Whiting. He is the #1 wrestler in the state of Kentucky in the 285 pound weight class.

But he only weighs 228.

I just heard and interview with James "Flash" Johnson and he said he models himself after Ted Ginn Jr. Interestingly enough, his speed is fairly similar to Ginn's. He's already enrolled and should take part in spring ball as well.

I wasn't pretty impressed with the way the kid conducted himself in the interview as well.

Everyone is forgetting Stoneburner

Not forgetting him at at all, but he's supposed to play TE.

[nkets]

they must be changing him cause they recruited him as a wr i hope he put on some muscle

[Buckeyehitman]

He was a WR/TE hybrid coming out of High School. However, Tressel was unable to lockup a lot of TEs this year, so look for Stoneburner to be their atheletic pass catching TE option.

[Jasonew6]

Not forgetting him at at all, but he's supposed to play TE.

Last I heard he does not want to play TE. They hardly ever catch the ball at OSU so I don't blame him.

[Buckeyehitman]

I can't say as I would blame him either, but with the influx of WR that could immediately compete for playing time, he might change his mind.

[Jasonew6]

And the rich get richer. They just got their 3rd Verbal for 2010 in Top 10 Ohio class of 2010 prospect Cincinnati Anderson offensive lineman Andrew Norwell.

They already have verbals from linebacker Jamel Turner from Youngstown (Ohio) Ursuline and defensive end J.T, Moore from Youngstown (Ohio) Boardman, both considered Ohio Top 10 prospects for next year.

It would've been nice, but in the end we really only have 3 WRs on the field anyway. Right now that's looking to be Carter, Posey and Sazenbacher (maybe Small if he gets out of the doghouse). If we would've gotten Brown, one of those guys would've had to red-shirt or slide down the depth chart which means they might transfer.

OSU hasn't been a major player for Brown in weeks IMO. Great class for UNC today :D Despite not having any surprises :(

I'm excited about our receivers even though we didn't get Brown.

I personally don't think Carter will get that much play time early, it's hard for receivers to learn a system in their first year.

He'll probably get about as much play time as Posey did though, but Posey didn't really play much until late in the year, and wasn't our 3rd/4th receiver until the bowl game.

I think Posey will probably be #1, then you got a fight between Lamaar Thomas, Dane Sanzenbacher, and Ray Small for #2

I would think our top 4 would be like Posey - Small - Thomas - Sanzenbacher

Then it will be duked out by Duron Carter, Chris Fields, James Jackson, Taurian Washington(sleeper).

Looks like a VERY exciting group though :smile:

edit: forgot to mention, Jake Stoneburner, who will probably be used in a Flex formation, when he isn't being used at TE.

I think Washington wins a job outright this year...either #2 or #3 receiver...

I really believe this kid is about to have the light come on...
