Seems like we could take both now, assuming Hunter really can play cornerback.
Ideally, this is how our defensive back class would look:
CB: Barnett
CB: Hunter
CB: McGee
S: Emilian
S: Wood
S/LB: Telfort

We could take both of course, but that would be "squeezing" out someone else. A problem I see in everyones "mock recruiting classes" though.
Where does that leave Marc or Banks? Will that take away from a spot on the Dline for someone like Carradine (if grades get in order).
Anyway, I'm getting off the point. I was just wondering which one, of the two, people preferred if they HAD to choose. |

I honestly think we'd fine room for both. I actually think we'd squeeze out Carradine before we don't take one of the uncommitted prospects above. That's just my take. We had a good dline class last year, we have the makings of a good one this year, and you know the staff is aware of Jamel Turner and Gholston next year.
That's just my take on the situation.

I still see EJ Banks as a real possibility in this class...

I forgot about him. Seems like some of these guys could be Torrence type players as well. Maybe a year of offense and switch back to defense(or stay on offense).

Right now I am thinking Wood, Barnett, Vlad, McGee, Hunter, and Banks...
I take Hunter over Telfort, just because he has more of a position, but if Telfort wants in a also find room for him...

Nothing specific, but I have just never got a good vibe from Hunter on his interest in the Buckeyes. For some reason, I don't see him being a part of this class.
I really like Telfort though and think we have a better chance than many think. I was checking out some Youtube video of Jaamal Berry at a Nike camp and it showed a bunch of one-on-one matchups betweens RBs and LBs and Telfort was amazing in coverage. He is really fast and smooth. I think he is a completely different player than guys like Moeller and Hines who we have tried to move. He looks like a natural in coverage. I would be as excited about him as almost any player in this class if he does end up coming here. |

Not to pile on, 40, but I look at Telfort as a safety, pure and simple. A player w/Bob Sanders type of unlimited potential. Hits like a truck, but w/ a swift & adroit set of skeeeells. Hunter is a great corner, on that I think we agree. |
