Neal somehow rises to #8 on ESPN board. I feel strongly we land one, but if we land both I think we're talking about the clear cut #1 class in the country and by far the best OSU class in recent history.

Want to say hello?
We love hearing from you! Whether you want to work with us, discuss advertising opportunities, or pass us a hot tip, you're more than welcome to drop us a line.
Well it is ESPiN so probably not.
It think it is Neal not O neal
sup
First, I think you're referring to Davonte Neal. I don't see us coming close to matching Bama for #1 in the country even if we get both, but it certainly makes our class one of the best we've seen at least in recent history
I hope we can get one, but I'm not going to set myself up for disappointment or anger if they pick someone else. I think it's important to stay grounded and remember that these are just 17-18 year old kids.
As much as I would love to be the #1 class, I think Texas and Alabama would still end up ahead of us, @ least from ESPN's rankings. I'm not much for conspiracies, but ESPN is in bed with Texas with the Longhorn Network and they love themselves some Nick Saban and SEC football.
Class ranking don't mean shit in the polls. By the way, hasn't Texas had top 5 classes the last 5 years?
I just want our class to be ranked 1st in the B1G to piss off the other fans of other B1G schools... Especially TTUN. "How are they recruiting so well with sanctions".
Looks like "Oversign U"..... I hate people who do not understand the workings of our available scholarships
Exactly, paper champs means nothing. I'm ready to whip ass on the field!
Tough times never last, tough people do
People dog Urban Meyer and say that he left the cupboard bare at Florida when he left, but his last couple years there his classes were highly ranked, don't know the numbers, but they were high. The talent just didn't exactly pan out. So yeah its great to have a top class, especially seeing what OSU has gone through this year, but if we have a top class and the talent doesn't pan out on the field, then what good were the rankings? It only matters when the kids get on the field. I don't wanna be like Texas where they sign a top class and then have little to show for it. I would rather be like Alabama where they sign the best and have trophies to show for it.
Given Urban's track record of winning, I like our chances of signing the best and having trophies to show for it.
Bassplayer, I agree. I think Urban will get the job done.
Don't be surprised is Stefon Diggs commits to The Ohio State University.
"You win with people." - Woody Hayes
Id be a little suprised since its so late in the game.... but then again its Urban
Favorite Buckeye: Obviously BJ Mullens
I would love for Diggs to sign with OSU, but I have my doubts it will happen. We'll see. If anyone could bring him in, Meyer could do it, though. He still has a visit to Maryland yet and who knows, the idea of staying close to home and playing in the ACC might appeal to him. Time will tell.
I don't think we get either one. What signs are there that we have a chance at both? No way in my opinion.
Alex Dickman, Neal's teammate said he's choosing 'Bama over Ohio State as a preferred walk-on. Draw your own conclusions from that.
