For 2012 looks like you are just getting Stefon Diggs (if he shows up)
For 2013 looks like:
QB Malik Zaire
OT Evan Lisle
C Lovell Peterson
LB Mike McCray II
TE/DE Jake Butt
DL Donovan Munger
WR/TE De'Niro Laster
OL Alex Gall
ATH Godwin Igwebuike
ATH Darron Lee
RB TJ Logan
DB Cam Burrows (commit)
QB TraVon Chapman
ATH Jalin Marshall
ATH Ben Gedeon
I'm sure there are a couple others, but this is who I have so far....feel free to add
These are the additional visitors I'm seeing listed at BP for the bball game.
2013 RB Godwin Igwebuike (Pickerington, OH)
2013 ATH Darron Lee (New Albany, OH)
Hopefully, we'll find out if/when Diggs makes it on campus or at least gets on a plane flying in this general direction...
For some reason I have a good feeling about Diggs. If he ends up visiting today, I think he will be a Buckeye. The idea of Florida as a national power only exists because of what Meyer built there.
- Respect the Rivalry -
I agree with FTTV. When I think of Florida I think of Meyer, Tebow and the National Title. Well 2 are gone and it is a big hill to climb for the 3rd.
"Boobie twistin Moochicken fans since 1976"
had Diggs made any indecations that he may side with the Buckeyes?
Capn, Make It So...
None - just the visit (if it happens)

Butt-Munger, I don't know what exactly it means but I would like to see them standing next to eachother on the sidelines.
vacuuming sucks
Man, all these '13 guys here. I know it's never too early but I'd think the staff would be working their ass off this weekend to close out this year's class.

Hey Maestro, I checked up Urban Dictionary on Mung. Because I remember in college a friend of mine was talking about 'munging' several years back..... Just thought I would share this so you know exactly what a "Butt-Munger" is....

@RivalsMike talking Diggs on Twitter:
I've seen Darron Lee play all of his career. Strong, fast kid, probably a runningback or WR. Never shown much at QB, where he'll be starting next year.
Diggs is coming tomorrow and this one could get interesting.....
Add RB- T.J. Logan (Northern Guilford High School, Greensboro, NC) to the list of visitors this weekend for the class of 2013. Super quick with great hands and finishing speed. Put him on your radar as a steal if we can land him. Offers as of this week from Carliona, NCState, Clemson, Tennessee, and South Carolina. He has led his team to back to back state championships and if he plays like he did this year, scoring 36 tds including 5 in the championship game, he might win another one.
OSU Charlie
Logan is a good one...Wither is ON this
If Urban is able to land Diggs it will be unreal. It would put him on a whole different level as a recruiter and I already had him at the top. Ohio State hasn't really been on this guys radar for quite some time and now there is a chance he committs. If he does end up committing, Ohio State will have a real shot at the number 1 recruiting class in the country.
Alex, are you hearing any new rumblings that make you think the Diggs thing could get interesting?
What does a typical weekend visit look like Alex? What will Diggs do while he's there?
O-H-I-O
Watched the Sophmore Hilight tape on TJ Logan. I love it when a talented player scores and walks off the field like he has been there before.
I don't always take names when I kick ass but when I do, they most often belong to a Wolverine.
Just that the OSU visit is a legit chance for Meyer to spin Stefon....I think it's no secret Florida and Auburn are probably the two schools to beat right now but Urban has Saturday and early Sunday to win this
Well Diggs' visit may a bit different because it's only 24 hours.....
A normal visit includes a campus tour, sitting down with academic counselors, often sitting down with a head of a department that the student is interested in, taking a tour of the stadium, lockerroom, and facilities, a chance to sit and watch the player's film with his potential position coach and/or the head coach, a chance for the head coach to meet with the kid alone, the parents alone, and then all together.......that's pretty much the general visit...obviously during football season a chance to go to the game, and in basketball season they usually try to take them to one as well...the player will spend time with the players on the team and usually they either play video games (they love that these days) and talk or go out to a party or on high street somewhere.....usually a dinner (more than often at Eddie George's) takes place as well as breakfasts and lunches...on officials, most prospects stay at the Blackwell hotel
Does that sum things up nicely?
Florida has a chance to have an excellent finish by signing day. They could potentially land (and have a really good chance of landing) Diggs, Darius Hamilton, Tracy Howard, Nelson Agholor, and Avery Young.
I pose these two questions to anyone. 1. Do you think if Urban can swing Diggs to OSU by signing day that it seals the fate of Neal not coming here or do you think Urban could realistically land both? 2. If the only way to get Neal is to also sign Dickman (using two scholly spots), would you prefer getting just Diggs and using the extra scholly on someone else (Cox, Bradley, Marcus, ect) or the combo of Neal/Dickman? Thoughts?
Obviously a dumb question, but is there any limit on how much you can spend on a recruit for dinner, lodging, etc?
****igan smells like old water that hot dogs were boiled in. FACT
IH8R, $20-40K, checks only please......wink
vacuuming sucks
Urban could land both Neal and Diggs...likely to be 1 or neither though...I say it will be 1 and my guess today is Neal
Holy crap Dubjay, that is way worse than anything I could even dream up.
vacuuming sucks
Your percentage on Neal Alex?
Capn, Make It So...
on Neal it's tough...I think it's 50/50 OSU and Arizona.....
Cam Burrows just tweeted that he's headed to OSU this weekend, too. I'm sure he'll be in full recruiter mode with all of these 2013 recruits visiting. Hopefully he impresses Diggs, too.
Diggs recruitmnet is key, kinda similar to Curtis Grants . Who knows what will happen? But Diggs would be huge, just hope he gets on campus.
Hopefully Urban can work his magic on Diggs this weekend. I would love to add either him or Neal at this point. We need some more big playmakers at receiver. Guys not being able to get open along with very poor blocking killed us all year.
Wasnt there another 2012 reciever that was visiting? He mightve been comitted to WVU, or did he cancel visit
Favorite Buckeye: Obviously BJ Mullens
Someone had posted a twitter thing that said it was a false rumor
Has Diggs made it to campus yet?
Not sure, his twitter is friends only, so can't tell from there.
Favorite Buckeye: Obviously BJ Mullens
Jalin Marshall a football stud?
Mo C and Ted Ginn were both USA Today POY's and both dominated during their OSU careers- difference makers from the begining. Do you see Marshall in that mold?
I know Mo C only had one and only one truly special year.
Absolutely
If Ted Ginn played in Urban's offense, he would have won 11 Heismans.
Any confirmation on Diggs?
- Respect the Rivalry -
I'm excited for us to have a good group of 2013 guys in for the weekend with Cam (and prob Marshall) already beginning to work magic on them
Is Diggs on campus yet?
O-H-I-O
Our committments seem to come in bunches. How does Reeves on Sunday, Marcus on Monday, Jalin on Tuesday, and NSD on Wednesday sound!?
I used to get excited about recruiting news/ developments. But at this point, I want NSD in the rearview mirror.
Marcus isn't announcing on Monday. He is announcing on Wednesday.
But it sounds goods :)
Ben Gedeon - LB from Hudson, OH is attending on Sunday.
thanks everyone
Also, just FYI so we don't have any cliff jumpers...I will be out tonight celebrating my birthday in NYC....Jeremy and Jason will be around to have you covered if anything breaks and I will try to make a "bathroom run" every now and then to keep updated with what's going on (likely in the dismay of my girlfriend).....don't like missing any big news, but here's to hoping Armani Reeves keeps Jason and Jeremy busy tonight!
Have a happy birthday! You've definitely earned the right to celebrate haha
Happy birthday, Alex! Have a good night out, you more than deserve it.
Happy Birthday
But where is Diggs? ;)
- Respect the Rivalry -
Happy Birthday, Alex! Have fun tonight!
Alex, hope you have a great birthday, man!
If you ain't a Silver Bullet, you're a target
Thanks guys actual birthday is Monday, but have to go HAM tonight as NSD awaits this week haha.....actually will be enjoying some Skyline Chili in NYC at Edwards on Monday--very pumped about that.....
also, believe Diggs DID arrive in Cbus :)
Happy birthday Alex, thanks again for all the hard work you've been putting in for 11w.
Not necessarily news, but I reached out to one of the guys for Rivals regarding Diggs and here's what he said.
thanks Dmac
I think UF has to be the favorite for Diggs...OSU fans SHOULD NOT expect him to be a Buckeye right now.....let's see what Urban can do
Our first game of the 2014 season is at Ravens stadium against Navy. Any idea how much this helps our case? I know it's only one game, but it does allow him to play in front of his friends and family.
Mr. Bill Greene was nice enough to make a list here
That would be HUGE hell yeah, I hope we can get Foster on campus.
@Alex Are you texting at dinner with your GIRLFRIEND?!?! hahaha Reminds me of that Ipod (I think) commercial.
Am I some kind of magic summoner who can just summon videos to his phone? HA! Come on!
Great commercial!^
How Firm Thy Friendship....
Anyone know how to upload videos to FACEBOOK?!?!
Tough times never last, tough people do
Does prowling work?
vacuuming sucks
Well come on Alex.....you don't have anything yet lol? Bahaha I'm just kidding, hopefully you have a great birthday man. Hope dinner was good as well!
Shendig
Happy Birthday, as a present, my gf breaks up with me. #Countyourblessings
Oh crap dude really? That sucks. Well we at 11W's got yo back. bro hug
Happy birthday Alex. Thanks for everything bro!
Here is a list of guys who 100% attending today that can be confirmed
2013 QB Malik Zaire (Kettering, OH)
2013 QB TraVon Chapman (Kent, OH)
2013 RB Godwin Igwebuike (Pickerington, OH)
2013 WR De'Niro Laster (Shaker Heights, OH)
2013 OL Evan Lisle (Centerville, OH)
2013 OL Lovell Peterson (Huber Heights, OH)
2013 OL Alex Gall (Cincinnati, OH)
2013 DT Donovan Munger (Shaker Heights, OH)
2013 DE Jake Butt (Pickerington, OH)
2013 LB Mike McCray (Trotwood, OH)
2013 ATH Darron Lee (New Albany, OH)
2013 ATH Jalin Marshall (Middletown, OH)
2013 ATH Godwin Igwebuike (Pickerington, OH)
2013 CB Cameron Burrows (Trotwood, OH)
^^^^^Good stuff. I know this has been asked a million times but anything new about Diggs visit? I'll take any new Reeves news as well. Thanks!
Tough times never last, tough people do
Givler just confirmed Dodson is at the game
FWIW: Darron Lee could be a hell of a dual threat QB, think Marshall but a better passer. He just hasn't had the opportunity yet, and will start next year at QB in a wing-T offense, which has no originality except for an inside trap fake that Lee scored on 4-5 times from 60+ yards out last year.
Robert Foster was indeed at the game today
I love going out and picking up studs from out of state. But that is an impressive list and they all have an OH next to their names.
2 more offers just went out to DeVeon Smith and Courtney Love, currently working on post to help everyone out with how 2013 is looking
Marc Givler recently tweeted out those new offers Alex.
Thanks for sharing wouldn't be suprised if Bo Pelini steals Courtney Love he's got great ties in youngstown especially at mooney since he graduated from there
Ben Gedeon was also offered....per 247.
omg offers going out today lol Ben Gedeon got an offer now, awesome
So do we know that some of the kids who visited (like McCray and Peterson) didn't get offers or that we just don't know if they got an offer or not?
I know in general you go for the better player (call me capt obvious). But it seems like trying to open up the Trotwood pipeline would be a huge tie breaker in McCray's favor. I have to agree that if truly wasn't offered and all those other LBers were, he must be pretty low on the totum pole. I just hope he doesn't turn into a Joe Bolden.
This is just rankings, but I know 247 sports has McCray ranked like 160ish nationally, not sure where other linebackers are at.
Favorite Buckeye: Obviously BJ Mullens
Very surprised by the lack of the offer for McCray. Kid is a stud, elite prospect, AND a legacy.. really hope he gets offered.
If you ain't a Silver Bullet, you're a target
All the recruiting news just makes me excited for the season to start, wish we would have put a bowl ban on this years team so we possibly could of played for BIG Ten championship next year.
Rick - don't worry. It's a simple system: coach arrives at big-time school, goes through first season with decent success, and has his system installed. Season two = national title. See: Bob Stoops, Tressel, Les Miles, Nick Saban, Gene Chizik, Urban Meyer
Lets hope this says Urban Meyer (twice) in the future
Is Cameron Belton from Northmont out of Dayton in the plans at QB or wideout? The kid has some great wheels and acceleration, a funky throwing motion, but some arm strength.
I'm pretty sure Belton doesn't have any offers to play anywhere atm
