  Thanks for the info OneBuckeye.

  Well apparently Cash didn't commit over the weekend... ho hum.

  Lawrence Thomas - 5 Star MLB Committed to Michigan State

• Tinkertrain

  Thomas to Sparty is no surprise. His high school and Detroit Southeastern are almost militantly pro sparty think Glenville pipeline but even stronger.
  
  I'll go as far as saying this, Michigan has a better shot at pulling a kid out of Glenville then they do out of Southeastern.
• detectivegibbles

  Ohio State is really starting to clean up this year for 2011...
  
  Sarcasm...
• mucalum49

  

  Chris Carter, OL from JFK in Cleveland gave Coach Tressel a verbal commitment after visiting this weekend.

• purple_rein

  Antonio Underwood interior OL from Shaker Heights also committed yesterday. He was offered and accepted on the spot.
  
  Gambrell committed today to bring the total to 5.
  
  Bobek still listed OSU as his favorite after visiting Michigan and Michigan State. His decision will come in early April.
• OneBuckeye

  

  Great picks ups for OSU.
• purple_rein

  ^ I like Gambrell and Underwood, not sold on Carter. He seems a little slow.
  
  I was pleasantly surprised by Underwood's film considering I had never heard of him. He is quick and he finishes blocks.
  
  Gambrell could end up a FS or CB.
  
  Adding Bobek, Farris, Walker, and Bennett to these would be a great foundation of OL/DL. I think we would still need a true OT and a highly touted DT on top of these to round it out. 5 OL and 3 interior DL would be just what the doctor ordered.
• OneBuckeye

  

  Farris is probably the best OT out of that group, but he is being reruited as DE. Bennett and Farris are must gets, I am not sold on Walker, but he would be a nice addition and a great haul (literally) for this class.
• Quint

  

  Bobek verbally committed today! 4 recruits in the past 24 hrs!
• OneBuckeye

  

  Bobek commit is huge. He will be a stud center
• Quint

  

  Any word on Braxton Miller yet? I wish he would just commit so I don't have to stress over it anymore. hahaha
• OneBuckeye

  

  Nope... right now it looks like it could be awhile he seems to say different things everyday.
• big_hits24

  It will be a tough decision for him probably...I think it would for an high school QB to get offers from a ton of big time programs...I hope we can land him so he can come in and fill in for when Pryor is done as tOSU.
• purple_rein

  Chase Farris has committed now as well. We are up to 7.
  
  Miller has said that he will take all 5 of his visits in the summer and commit by his season.
  
  We might get a couple more commits in this run and then there could be a long wait until Miller commits. Then he will recruit for the Bucks and get the position players lined up.
• Quint

  

  Pretty good day for Tress! hahaha 5 verbals and a 2 year extension.
• Writerbuckeye

  

  Lots of "big uglies" over the past 24 hours.
  
  I love it!
• detectivegibbles

  Well its about fucking time....
• big_hits24

  Calm down a little bit detective...it's still pretty early in the 2011 recruiting process.
