Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
THREE-STARS CAN BE ALL-STARS FOR URBAN MEYER AT OHIO STATE, BUT THEY ARE THE EXCEPTIONS
Urban Meyer has signed 42 three-stars in his first five recruiting cycles. Our review of these 42 signees suggest that a case like Malik Hooker is exceptional among this sample of all Ohio State football signees. Most don't reach those heights, and certainly among signees in more recent classes. The 2012 and 2013 classes are conspicuous for how many recruits became important contributors to Ohio State football in the past three seasons.

I'm not agreeing with everyone noted as a three star on that list. Sam Hubbard for sure wasn't one. He was a four star composite on 247.

You know what? Chicken butt.
I counted 11 of the top 50 on the 247 composite as likely being Buckeyes.
Absurd.

That is honestly the best word to describe it, lol!
I wonder if there's been a team to have a recruiting class twice in a row(assuming we finish with the players we're favored for) finish with a rating as high. 2017 and 2018 could very well set a foundation for a historic run

Where is this from? 247 has them listed @24 with only 185 points
The Baylor staff is putting in work!

A plausible Ohio State Class of 2018 (revised 4 August 2017). Added LB K'Vaughan Pope (predicted) and DB Marcus Hooker (surprised); deleted Fredrick Scruggs (Penn State). Glad to be right on Pope and wrong on Scruggs. Not sure what to think of Hooker, who appears right now to be a reach. However, this staff would not take him simply because his brother was a star at tOSU, so they must think that he has potential well beyond his "star" rating.
As possible additions, I'm now including DB Tyson Campbell and DT Tommy Togiai.

Again, please keep doing this cart because it is awesome. Hooker earned his spot though, staff told him what was expected and he met the expectation...then got a commitable offer and accepted. His brother was ranked about the same and worked out ok...not a guarantee of success but after the Boren, Bosa, etc. bloodlines have worked out, I am more than ok to see how he works out.
As for the rest, I agree on the rest except Brown. I could be wrong, but I just don't think he is a take yet. Could be wrong, but I think we wait that one out. But I love seeing Blue Smith and Togiai added...I have them as in right now. Same on Oweh, he wants to be a Buckeye.

I agree on Hooker, his recruitment reminds me of Darron Lee's, where the staff told him what they wanted from him, he put in the work and earned his offer in a camp setting. The unfortunate comparisons to his brother will never cease among fans(and media alike) because of what he did in his one starting year(may be one of the greatest single year DB performances in OSU if not CFB history), but he deserves to be in this class. It will be interesting to see where he eventually finds his spot, I believe S, but he could be a Nickel CB, Coombs will find out sooner rather than later.
But I also don't see Brown in this class, and I'm starting to lean away from even seeing Campbell in this class as well(I think he stays in the south). But I could see the coaches circling back around to get a local OT like Kinnard. And the staff going after Jackson instead of securing Togai, who will stay out west, IMO.
