tOSU Recruiting Discussion

My (extremely early) rational wish list (assuming we end up with 18-20):
1. QB: Malik Zaire
2. RB: Derrick Green
3. RB/WR: Ty Isaac
4. WR/ATH: Jalin Marshall
5. WR: Robert Foster
6. WR: Uriah LeMay (yeah maybe a stretch but the ties are there)
7. TE: Adam Breneman
8. OT: Evan Lisle
9. OT: Ethan Pocic
10. OT: Hunter Bivin
11. DE/LB: Jaylon Smith
12. DE/DT: Elijah Daniel
13. DT: Billy Price
14. DT: Donovan Munger
15. LB: Courtney Love
16. DB: Cameron Burrows
17. DB: Eli Woodard :biggrin:
18. DB: Dymonte Thomas (I truly think the flip will happen)
19. DB: Caleb Day
20. ATH/LB: Ben Gedeon

- If my scholarship number is off, let me know and I'll adjust. That would be one sick class alone but of course we are going to have interest from other top national guys like Fulwood, Muhammed, Levenberry, Gray, McQuay, Tilley-Tulman, Fox, Parker, Gilmore, O'Daniel, etc...if we could pull anyone off that list, it would be amazing. Biggest stretches I have above are Thomas, LeMay, Isaac, and Bivin.

I prefer LeMay personally and Gibson has been pretty consistent in naming Auburn as his leader. Would love either one though.

You have been misinformed...he has recently stated that OSU has drawn level with Auburn. The announcement with Dodson made a huge impact on his ideas of OSU.

How do you feel about Taco Charlton?

The last article did say "neck and neck" but he had been consistent with Auburn as his leader before that. I would imagine the Dodson announcement would impact his decision...hopefully so, I would love to see Gibson here.

Too much of a project after the DE class we just pulled in imo. I see Daryl Baldwin when I watch his film...great potential but I think we are going to offer very few DE's. Plus Daniel could project as a SDE and I think we are sitting pretty there.

That's really just an incredible list. Even if three or four recruits on the list are replace by recruits mentioned in the post script it's almost a phantasy. Personally, I'll actually be at least mildly surprised, if young Mr. Thomas doesn't reconsider his future.

I'm gonna try this just to see how stupid I look next February. I'm sure there are 3-4 guys not even on our radar right now that could be in the class.

Guessing 21-24 players

QB- Malik Zaire
QB- Tra'Von Chapman- Don't see any elite national kids on our radar. Think both these guys are solid 4* types with a ton of upside that can be groomed. We'll see.
RB- Derrick Green- A kid that has improved as much as Derrick has and works as hard as he does, I think you have to take him.
Slot WR/playmaker- Jalin Marshall- If we don't get Diggs then likely go for another of these types. Either way we're sitting pretty with Jalin and a great leader of the class.
WR- Shelton Gibson- Speed speed speed
WR- Bob Foster- Love Jalin but this is the best player I've seen in a game for the 2013 class.
TE- Mike Heuerman- Honestly like him as much as Breneman from highlights. Just got a huge FSU offer, see us offering soon.
OT- Ethan Pocic- Best tackle I've seen so far for the 2013 class.
OT- Evan Lisle- Can't see us not offering.
G/C/DT- Lovell Peterson- His recruiting baffles me so far. Lovell as a sophomore was as impressive as any Ohio 2013 kid I've seen so far. Wasn't just 1 game either, he dominated.
1 more OL- No clue who. Hunter Bivin/Chris Fox/idk.

Defense
DE- Jonathan Allen- Pulling a name out of my a$$. Don't see a good enough player in Ohio.
DT- Billy Price- Him getting run down rather easily by another OL in his highlights plus a few reports this year have me questioning his athleticism some. Meyer seems to want him so good enough for me.
DT- National kid. Meyer was always great at pulling national DTs at Florida, didn't work out too well a few times but he got em in. Maybe Munger is good enough, no idea.
OLB- Jaylon Smith- Foster is the best kid I've seen in a game but Smith isn't far behind.
LB- Courtney Love
LB- Ben Gedeon- These 2 seem to be above McCray in the pecking order. A lil surprising
CB- Eli Woodard
CB- Cam Burrows
CB- Ross Douglas- Maybe some Florida kid here. IDK.
S- Dymonte Thomas
S- Caleb Day

Some kicking specialist

Two guys I was surprised not to see on your list that you haven't mentioned: DeVeon Smith and Lovell Peterson. Thoughts on either of these guys.

That's a great class.

Personally, I do not see us taking both of Smith and Green...unless maybe we don't think we are landing any other RB (Isaac or the other national type guys). I like Smith but was a little surprised by the offer this early. Lovell Peterson is a guy I am waiting to see junior film on...he certainly has the frame and recognition, but I'm not convinced he is a lock for an offer yet. Of course this all requires a great deal of conjecture at this point.
