Rivals/Scout/etc. National & Regional Rankings

http://www.elevenwarriors.com/forum...orts-has-released-their-class-of-2017-top-247

All 4 of OSU's commits are in the top 247. 9 in OH are in the 247. LeCounte is in the top 50. Judson dropped due to his size and Clark dropped due to an average(at best) Soph season. 2017 is still setting up to be big, even better than 2016

I get Clark but dropping Judson was pretty ridiculous. Anyways, the full rankings:

3. OL Josh Myers
4. OL Calvin Ashley
6. DB DeAngelo Gibbs
7. WR Trevon Grimes
13. WR Donovan Peoples-Jones
15. DB Shaun Wade

44. ATH Tyrell Ajian
47. ATH Richard LeCounte
49. WR Keyshawn Johnson Jr.
55. ATH Darnay Holmes

131. DE James Hudson (also from CC in Toledo, need to check him out)
150. RB Todd Sibley

229. DT Darnell Ewell
236. DT Dalyn Wade-Perry (6'4 290 guy from Noah Brown's high school, had to mention the name)

I'm not too surprised about Judson dropping due to size. Playing QB for his HS team hurts his ranking, but doesn't diminish his skills. He just needs to work on his route running, which he can't as much in HS due to position. He reminds me of Sam Bruce in the 2016 class with his explosiveness, but he doesn't have his route running talent

Here is a link on Buckeye Grove that is a pretty complete list of our targets and commits in the Top 100.
Coaches Coombs, Ash and Smith must be drooling over that list. As its littered with high end talent at WR and DB! 2017 will be an amazing set up for skill positions regardless of who we actually land come NSD.
