Awesome! This is yet another HUGE OOS get. We get the top players OOS in KY and PA. We are going to have such great balance between top OOS guys and a healthy mix of Ohio boys. Anyways, welcome aboard Dorian and Buckeye Nation couldn't be any happier.

By Mike White, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Gateway High School's Dorian Bell, ranked by most scouting services as the No. 1 junior in WPIAL football, will conduct a news conference this afternoon at which time he is expected to announce that he will attend Ohio State.
Bell, a 6-foot-1, 215-pound linebacker, will make his announcment at Gateway at 2 p.m. He has scholarship offers from more than 30 Division I colleges, including Pitt, Penn State, West Virginia, Michigan and Florida State..
He visited Ohio State this weekend for the Buckeyes' spring game.
Bell is ranked among the top 20 players in the country by most national scouting services.
Verbal commitments are non-binding. Bell will have to wait until next February before he signs a national letter of intent.

Like it or not based on rankings PSU has arguably out-recruited us at the position the past two seasons (six kids rated in the top 10 at their position).

This year - not so much.

I don't know about that... PSU linebackers may have more stars but you can't look at position rankings alone when comparing the two. AJ Hawk and James Laurinaitis were both 3 star players coming out of high school according to Scout.com. Paul Posluszny and Dan Connor were great but I'll stick with our guys.

You have to wonder if we don't start seeing a few looks with 3-4 though. We took big Shaq last year and Simon fits so well and we will have 3 or 4 young LEOs next season...just a thought.

The same thought crossed my mind.

And I'll take our LBs over PSU's. They've certainly done a good job, but I still like our guys. I'm pretty excited to see the LB comparison in the next four years. :biggrin:

Then there's certainly no need to get excited over 5 star kids, right? It goes both ways.

anyways, congrats to Dorian on being skilled enough to earn a free ride to college.
