Top four of LSU, USC, UCLA, and OSU. Plans on camping at Ohio State, and is very interested in checking out the school.
My take: The Buckeye staff has consistently shown that they will not reach on local players, especially on the offensive line. If Ohio State "misses" on Chris Watt, then look for the staff to find a highly-ranked out-of-state OL prospect to fill the spot ... or be satisfied with just three OL in this class.

First offer to a Utah kid? Yes. But not the first kid from Utah we've actively recruited:
Houston Cassita
Stanley Havili

Deseret News | Recruiting process has been more fatiguing than fun for Utah prep athlete
After some small talk with the offensive line coach, Fighting Irish head coach Charlie Weis took the phone and began talking with John.
"He asked me if I was interested in Notre Dame ... and I said I'm sorry coach, but I don't think I am," John said matter-of-factly. "I felt bad. It's the first college coach I've turned down. But I thought it was time for me to be honest."
