Look for a flurry of activity before the end of the month, with many of the uncommitted prospects listed above either committing to Ohio State or dropping the Buckeyes from consideration.

Recruits ready to descend on Columbus

Friday, October 24, 2008

Posted by Bill Kurelic

It seems each weekend there is one Big Ten school set for a big recruiting weekend. Even though Michigan plays host to Michigan State for a big in-state rivalry game and the Wolverines will entertain a number of prospects making official visits, the big game in the Big Ten this weekend is the nationally televised prime-time showdown in Columbus between No. 3 Penn State and No. 9 Ohio State.

The Ohio State coaching staff has been pointing toward this game as a big recruiting night.

Jim Tressel and his staff will host Under Armour All-American defensive lineman Corey Adams (Scottsdale, Az./Saguaro) on an official visit. Adams has made official visits to Nebraska and Arizona State. In addition to Ohio State this weekend, he is scheduled to make an official visit to USC the second weekend in December before selecting a college.

The Buckeyes have 25 Class of 2009 commitments and one Class of 2010 commitment, and 20 of those 26 prospects plan to attend Saturday night's game. Commitments from Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Maryland will all make their way to Ohio Stadium to see the battle for the undisputed lead in the Big Ten standings.

The Ohio State coaching staff would like to add offensive lineman Marcus Hall (Cleveland, Ohio/Glenville) to their 2009 class, and Hall plans to be in the Horseshoe Saturday. The Buckeyes are also in contact with two of Hall's teammates, quarterback Terrance Owens and defensive back Michael Edwards, and both are likely to attend the game as well.

Having already secured 25 commitments for their 2009 recruiting class, the Ohio State staff is able to devote much of their recruiting time to their 2010 class. This weekend some super juniors will make their way to Ohio Stadium.

The No. 1 junior in the state of Ohio, linebacker Jamel Turner (Youngstown/Ursuline), will attend the big game as will linebacker Jordan Hicks (West Chester, Ohio/Lakota West), defensive lineman Darryl Baldwin (Solon, Ohio) and quarterback/athlete Spencer Ware (Cincinnati/Princeton). All four have already been offered a scholarship by the Buckeyes. Offensive lineman Andrew Donnal (Whitehouse, Ohio/Anthony Wayne) is another highly-regarded junior who will be in the Horseshoe Saturday night.

Jim Tressel is looking for a big game from his Buckeyes Saturday night. He is also hoping to capitalize in a big way on the recruiting front.

OSU, PSU have strong performances in front of talented recruits

Monday, November 24, 2008

Posted by Bill Kurelic

Ohio State routed Michigan and Penn State did the same to Michigan State as the two schools tied for the Big Ten championship over the weekend. Both Jim Tressel and Joe Paterno welcomed in impressive groups of recruits at their respective games.

Tressel and his staff hosted two prospects on official visits, Under Armour All-American running back Jaamal Berry (Miami, Fla./Palmetto) and Under Armour All-American wide receiver Duron Carter (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas). Both Berry and Carter had already committed to the Buckeyes.

Berry came out of the visit saying he will still make official visits to Ole Miss and Florida, just as he has been saying for some time he plans to do. Berry says he is definitely an Ohio State commitment, but feels he should keep his word and visit the two SEC schools, just as he told their coaches he would.

Carter, who is the son of former Ohio State great Cris Carter, has no plans to visit anyone else and is focusing on helping his team win a state championship. Aquinas is 11-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state.

Tressel and his staff also hosted many other prospects on unofficial visits including some of the top juniors in the state of Ohio.
