If we end up getting Harris, along with Pryor, Jenkins and Wells. I cannot think of a better recruiting class ever at Ohio State!

Although this class looks as if it may be awesome, it has a long way to go before it can be compared to the class of 1970 (recruited in 1967).

That class included 3 College Football Hall-of-Famers (Rex Kern, Jim Stillwagon, Jack Tatum), the 1970 Lombardi and Outland trophy winner (Stillwagon), the 1970 AP defensive player of the year (Tatum), 7 All-Americans (Kern, Stillwagon, Tatum, Jan White, John Brockington, Tim Anderson and Mike Sensibaugh), 4 additional first team All-Big 10 players (Phil Strickland, Mark Debevc, Doug Adams, Dave Cheney) and 3 other 3 year starters (Bruce Jankowski, Larry Zelina and Leo Hayden).

These players lost only 2 games in their 3 years (freshmen were not eligible then), went 2-1 versus Michigan and won one national championship.

Let's see where we are in 2011 before we label this group the best ever.

I have my fingers crossed. I hear all the recruited Florida studs were here trying to get this stud to believe in the S&G uniform. Brandon is such a special talent....he belongs here!

From the UF site...Harris' father talks about what he and Brandon have learned during this process. Still has a visit to Miami (FL) scheduled and a possible fifth to one of Rutgers, South Florida, Central Florida and Wisconsin.

from the Miami site. Harris says he really enjoyed his visit to Ohio State and talks about the family atmosphere there. He will take an official to Miami, but has yet to decide if he will take his fifth and final visit.

Thanks for the update. Sounds pretty positive. Whether we get him or not it sounds like we made a great impression on him and put our best foot forward. Can't ask for much more than that. Hope we get him but best of luck to him no matter what. GO BUCKS!

Very positive article for tOSU. It sounds like the coaching staff, university, and fellow recruits made an impression on him.

Brandon seems like a pretty grounded guy, and will make the best decision for himself.
