Hope he likes bad weather

Any word on which position Ohio State is recruiting him at?

Based on his film, could play multiple positions for us as a WR, S, or CB. Film reminds me quite a bit of Jalin Marshall's HS film, as his HS used him primarily as a QB, and he looks as slippery and fast as Jalin was. Looks very comfortable with the ball in his hands

I might get a date with Jessica Alba. I'm trying.

Even if the odds are slim, you take an official visit from a kid this talented. Likely will not happen but he is not visiting this weekend for the weather.

Huge having guys like Mack, Cooper and Jordan on campus already.

WR is what one of the writers for 11w stated

Rivals$--Five-star visitor coming

Mecole says he bonded with several tOSU commits during the Army AA game week and was heavily recruited by Austin Mack.

as posted above Mack recruited the heck out of Hardman

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Only a few weeks remain until National Signing Day, so of course five-star prospects are going to start popping up out of nowhere for Ohio State.

Take Mecole Hardman Jr. of Elberton (Ga.) Elbert County for example.

Though he hasn't been a prospect closely associated with Ohio state during the last six months, the 5-foot-10, 169-pound prospect announced Tuesday evening on his public Twitter account that he's officially visiting the Buckeyes this weekend.

Rated a five-star prospect and the No. 1 athlete in the 2016 recruiting class in the 247Sports composite rankings, Hardman became friendly with Ohio State receiver Austin Mack at the U.S. Army All-American Game.

Someone on staff better give Austin Mack a helmet sticker for this one...

 

[BUCKYLE]

If Urban lands this kid, it would take every unwritten "rule" of recruiting and flip it on its ear.

You always hear about "relationships" with coaches being built up over years being a big, if not the biggest, determining factor. Distance from home being another. Immediate playing time...etc.

Other than playing time, which I have no clue about, it would seem impossible to get him so late in the game without 2 years of building relationships and being from GA.

Crazy.

Really great to have a kid from Georgia visit when it's minus-10 wind chill.
