Of course OSU already has verbals from Boren, Kalis, Perry, Ball and Dunn. There are anywhere from 15-20 scholarships available for 2012.
Offensive line recruiting has to be a priority. -

Just curious about what's wrong with Wormley? -

He grew up a Michigan fan. Nothimg wrong with him as a player. I would call OSU the early leader for the rest of the kids except for Wormley and the kid from Florida. Obviously there is a long way to go but on a good day I would say OSU is 50 50 with UM for him. -

purple_reinYou can add Jones to this class at QB. Dillon is their guy so if he wants to be a Buckeye, they will take him.
The two RBs are studs, the only other one I could see being recruited is Shell.
If a quality FB emerges, we have to take him with Boren and Homan half way done.
At WR, Stanford and one other is likely to be in this class. I see 2 total. Green-Beckham is the tops and OSU is in on him, but Tress has never landed the top WR.
There might be room for 1 TE, but no more than that.
OL is absolutely crucial. Boren and Kalis are a good start but we need at least 2 more quality Tackles and a quality Guard. I am hoping for 6 quality OL total and there might end up being that in Ohio.
DE is stacked in Ohio. Wormley will be a Wolverine and it will be considered Hoke's first big get from Ohio. That still leave Lewis, Pittman, and Washington for us.
We will probably want 2 DT. McMullen will be in with Lewis. Schutt from Illinois is a monster and would be a great get. Strobel could grow into a DT and get an offer.
Only 1 senoir LB next year and a great haul this year. Perry is already in but may grow into a DE. Washington may end up a LB. Rippy is the biggest target here with Ringer also lurking. Getting 1 more LB will be enough.
We are pretty stacked at DB now, but you have to expect 2 or 3 DB/ATH in the class.
There will likely be a K/P if Buchanan does not improve.
If the quality guys are there, I want: Jones, the 2 RB, FB, 2 WR, 6 OL, 3 DE, 2 DT, 1-2 LB, 1-2 DB/ATH. That's 20. There could be enough attrition to get to that many. -

I know we need Oline help but I'd like to see some smaller guys... some 280's and 290's who can run and show some lateral quickness.... not so sure I like the 300+ pounders all the teim -

I imagine the two 300lbers offered above are pretty lean considering their height.
Also, I can't imagine Shell coming here, and honestly, I think Dunn and Ball look more impressive on tape, jmo. I think OL, DL, and WR should be the main focus from here on out for the '12 class. -

Kid said he might visit OSU this month. I hope so. Kid has offers from Iowa and Wisonsin that is enough for me. -

If your a offensive lineman and you have a offer from Wisconsin I think your good enough to go anywhere. JMO -
Big GainI'm aways pleasantly surprised when Ohio State gets a kid from Toledo.

The dl prospects in ohio next year are unreal... the biggest need for next year are some big boys up front on the oline -
dat dudeHere's hoping Tressel can reel in Odenigbo once he finally gets an offer. He looks extremely fast and athletic on tape.
