John McCallister report on defense commits- Ozone

I always like reading his no-nonsense evaluations. His thoughts on Burrows, Price, etc. affirm what many have hinted at: several of these kids could be playing at positions different from those listed on their recruiting profile pages. At first blush, this seems to be the most versatile class I've seen.

McCallister on Defensive Commits
Taking a Closer Look at OSU's In-State Commits and Prospects
By Tony Gerdeman

The Buckeyes currently have 19 commitments in the 2013 class, nine of whom are from Ohio. Now that the high school football season is over, we thought it would be a good time to check back in with our resident Ohio football scout John McCallister. He runs the McCallister Scouting Report, which provides scouting reports to numerous colleges all over the country.
Today, we will start with defense, of which there are currently seven commits from Ohio, and have included another prospect who could end up in the class as well. We also look ahead to the 2014 class, with a pair of linebackers who have already received offers from Ohio State.

Ozone - Taking a Closer Look at OSU's In-State Commits and Prospects - Part II

12/18

We've already talked about the in-state defensive prospects that the Buckeyes have landed or offered to this point, so now it's time to look at the other side of the ball.

There isn't a large number of in-state prospects on offense with offers yet, but there is certainly some elite talent in the next few classes according to John McCallister.

Things are still very early for the 2014 class, so there will be more names added to these lists in the coming months.

I like his take on Gibson:

"He is one of the best true football players in Ohio. He's tough, he's got excellent closing speed. He's got good hips, he runs fast, he can play wide receiver or defensive back. Or even outside linebacker eventually. I just think he's one of the best players. He's just a tough guy. He's a very, very good football player. He can run. He's fast with excellent burst. An excellent ball catcher. Excellent hips. Excellent range. I saw him run a kickoff back in 11 seconds. He changes direction well. Most of all, he's physical."

Don't know the validity of this so I will post it here. This was posted on the O-Zone forum by Gerd. Coming in as a preferred walk-on.
He was a 2012 graduate of Thomas Worthington. Because the Buckeyes had just taken Bryce Haynes the year before, they didn't go after him. He ended up choosing Tennessee over WVU, Purdue and South Carolina. He left Tennessee before the season and became a gray shirt. Now with him being a 2013 recruit, OSU was interested in him again. He chose the Buckeyes over South Carolina this time around. He was rated the #12 LS in the 2012 class by Chris Rubio, who specializes in special teams camps.

Thanks Krenzelicious, I make it about 7-9 'undecideds' that could announce for tOSU at some point during those games. Wouldn't that be a wonderful belated Christmas(s) presents.......

It's been answered several times but we'll add it to the verbal commitments list:

So far it's Sprinkle, Burrows, Lewis, Woodard and Barrett.
