SI.com: Early look at 2009 prospects.
Not real in depth, but names a few guys at each position. Names mentioned that have already been noted as having interest in Ohio State: QB Kevin Newsome, RB Bryce Brown, WR Marlon Brown, OL Marcus Hall, DB Justin Turner.

OSU recruiting classes: early decisions
2005: Jam-O and Alex Boone committed years in advance, other than that, no commits until April
2006: Beanie and Homan committed right after 2005 NLOID. No more until June
2007: Nate Oliver right around NLOID. No more until May
2008: Buchanan, Adams, and Posey kicked it off in March
2009: Already 6 commits as of Feb 10th.
It seems as though OSU has tons of momentum rolling right now.

Clarett & Tresselball definitely played a role in that... as well as a smaller resume of dominance. '06 & '07 didn't end well, but that's a much easier rebuttal to negative recruiting than the earlier pitches.

The new WHAC has to help as well and the overall improvement in the appearance of the campus, which is drastic from when I started school in 2002.

Two guys I wanted to bring attention to, but I am not sure how much mutual interest there is in both.
Nigel Thornton-Mitchell
LB out of Georgia. Solid 6'2" 215 right now, with a "reported" 4.9 forty, but if you watch his videos you can tell he either plays much much faster than that, or that was possibly taken when he was in the 8th grade.
Lonnie Pryor
Hey, if we get Terrelle, why not match him in the backfield with his namesake Lonnie? A RB out of Florida. 6'1" 195 right now. Will be one of the top backs in the country.
We are good for one stud out of both of these states, FL and GA, a year it seems. Mitchell-Thornton has already expressed interest, and though Pryor has not, you never know. I moreso put him there because of the "Pryor" name, and though it would be cool to follow the Law Firm of Wells & Wells with that of Pryor & Pryor. Also, I wanted to throw these names out to see if the insiders what heard anything, even a blip on the radar, about these 2?

Hmmm, not QUITE unstoppable... but we are int he Big Ten basically. 1 conference loss in 2 years constitutes Conference dominance. However, until we can start competing at a higher level OOC with our bowl opponents, then we are far from it on a national level.
