Ryan Timmons will get an offer only if we miss on who? Gibson, Quick, Stevens, Elder? Or a combination of who?

EDIT: True or False. Ryan Timmons will get a committable offer when he visits on Jan 11th if James Quick picks Louisville on Jan 5th?

What is keeping Will Ullmer from being a Tier 1 QB prospect for the Buckeyes in 2014?  What is the current lay of the land in Vonn Bell's recruiting process?

Is Thad's best chance at landing Okafor Sully's NBA rookie season? And how close those 2 have become? I loved that pic of Jared and Okafor standing next to eachother

Everyone wants the 14' LBs and a QB, but what is our status with Zeus Jr.? (Orlando Brown Jr. for non Browns fans) I feel he is a true must have. What are OSU's feelings towards him? and what are his feelings on the Bucks and everyone else?

I wouldn't go as far as saying he's a must get, but he's definitely on the radar of OL. There are other OL higher up than Brown including Prince, McDermott and Jamarco Jones. But I won't complain if he's part of the class

They are going to need at least 4 in that class. It is predicted to be smaller than this years (minus transfers). I suspect we will start to see transfers after the 2013 season as guys do not see the field (DL, RB, LB) or guys that see the writing on the wall.

I think O-line has to be a priority to fill out the two deep, in addition to the fact that you take the talent at LB, QB, RB and WR.

I think they'll take 4. My wishlist is M. Jones (obviously), J. Jones, Prince, and Trout.

I. Like these 4 but if we dnt get one look for a d knox flip. U don't turn him down even if he's the 5th guy imo. What ya think

Oh yeah, you don't turn guys at his level down, and OL is the position where you take more guys than you think you need because it's such a gamble.

How would you rank the recruiting abilities of the coaches on staff? IE, which of the coaches would you consider the top recruiters?

osubuckeye4life's picture
osubuckeye4life on 27 Dec 2012 - 2:02pm #

Who do you see as the final commits of the 2013 class?

Which player do you think will be the next to commit for the 2014 class?

Thanks for everything you, Derek, and Miles do to cover recruiting.

Do you think there are likely to be any pleasant or unpleasant surprises for the Buckeyes on NLOI day in Feb?

Are there any current commits who you think are waivering or may waiver in the future on their commitments?

Out of all the players in the 14 class which one really excites you the most as far as potential? Which 13 recruit can come in and make the biggest impact do you think? Thanks for all that you recruiting guys do here at 11w..

Where will the staff look to out-of-state recruits to fill some of the openings needed for the '14 class? Whom might they look to first?

(setting up for the next step which would be the in-state recruits...)

How long does Drew Barker wait for us before signing with someone else?  Do we really have a realistic chance at flipping Watson?

Statutoryglory's picture
Statutoryglory on 27 Dec 2012 - 2:48pm #

Any thoughts on offering Barker finally while still trying to flip Watson knowing that Barker prob decommits if Watson commits and not giving us more than the one QB we want anyway?

With Matt Patchan transfer talk surfacing, seems like we might still want one more offensive lineman for this class. Your thoughts? Who would that bump/close the door on?

When will we finally get some playmakers? Seems to be the one area we have totally missed out on since he was hired (minus E. Elliot)

What are your sources saying about when the next 2014 QB offer will go out? 

Who is our next 2014 commit? 

Who is our last 2013 commit?

Do you see any flips for the good guys by NSD?

Is there anyone that buckeye fans should be worried about not putting their signature down on Ohio State letter head for one reason or another?

Could someone put together a schedule/post on when practices for these games will be aired if they will be.  I know they do a few practice shows for the UA game, and I'm pretty sure they are shown a few times on ESPN U etc.

Also, this Georgia explosion for 2014....seriously what is up with that?  Not a bad thing in any way, just crazy to me that so many from a state with a big time program in state would all potentially want to leave together

With USC struggling and Oregon in the NCAA's crosshairs, do you see the staff making a greater push in the West to lure in some of the prized recruits out here?

People have already asked something like this but just to reinforce our collective curiosity, what percentage would you say there is for a NSD shocker for OSU...good or bad?

the 2014 talent in ohio has alot of highly rated guys yet we have only offered a few. There are 4-5 olineman (ie.nick richardson, kyle trout, etc.) that are highly rated 4star and most in the top250. It always gets to me when these types of players end end up at scum bc they usually are there best players and bite us hard. Do you see this being a problem with our approach to recruit nationally? should we just offer these talented ohio guys regardless of recruiting approach bc of the potentail for scum to land some top ohio talent? do you see the coaches recognizing this issue?

keep up the great work..thanks for all the buckeye knowledge!

buck-I.8 on 30 Dec 2012 - 5:14pm #

They used the same strategy this year, and didn't lose the "top Ohio talent". They're gonna get lower guys like Charlton, and Dukes, that's inherent to the talent depth. Throw out Kalis and Thomas because of special circumstances, and ask yourself: Did Michigan get any top targets that we wanted?
