LB Jerome Baker (Seattle Seahawks)

"My older cousin was already going and my high school team, we play in Columbus on Friday night," he said. "I just thought, why not take a visit?"

Don't have a super secret first-hand source, but lots of smoke regarding his recruitment. His head coach, family, and friends all want him at Ohio State. I like our chances come NSD.

I had a feeling the initial commitment was partially induced by wanting shock value to his choice after everyone had him penciled in here...I could be totally wrong, just my feeling. Regardless, I knew his recruitment was in no way over and that we would keep working him. I would love to flip him considering the in-state angle, but I've also felt fine getting either of Kilby-Lane or Jefferson to round out this class if we can make it happen. If we start trending for either of those guys, perhaps Jerome's recruitment will get even more interesting.

@Taosman two pages back @MD Buckeye alluded to his close relationship with DJ Durkin, so I believe that would have a bigger impact than Muschamp leaving if he were to go as well. Either way, it looks like it's trending more & more our way, which is a good sign. Still a long way to go until NSD.

Absolutely. But an all Ohio class of Hilliard, Connor, and Baker would have me absolutely giddy from a talent and protecting your borders perspective. Baker always stung for me even with Hilliard and Connor in, despite SKL and Jefferson being options...come home Jerome.

Mind of Mike
I've mentioned four-star linebacker Jerome Baker the last couple of weeks and his potential flip from Florida to Ohio State. His unofficial visit to Columbus this past weekend did not dissuade any of those rumors. Baker attended the game with both his mother and aunt, who both had a great time and actually consider themselves Ohio State fans. Not surprisingly, Baker will be back to Columbus for an official visit, which hasn't been scheduled yet, and may also take official visits to Tennessee and Michigan State, as well as to Florida, which is coming up in two weeks. The Gators coaching staff will have to work overtime to keep Baker in Gainesville and with Muschamp expected to be gone by December, this plays perfectly into Meyer's hands.

I don't think id ever believe someone who told me Mauk would throw the ball 20 times and get as many yards and blow out the Gators in the Swamp. I don't think the UF coaching staff is gonna last. Jerome, you'd look great in S&G next to Conner and Hilliard

If any of the Baker has listened to any of the talking heads yesterday regarding Muschamp's firing
everyone of them is saying it's this year or next.. and some said 'Monday'
but everyone said it will happen
