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.
Only thing I've heard so far is that visiting 2014 OL Andy Bauer received an offer from the staff.
Alex Anzalone just tweeted, "I just committed! April Fools!" :-(
Yeah i got excited there for a second, stupid April fools day
@Bassplayer....... My eyes widened and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up..... then I sunk in my chair, gave my spittoon a little extra chewspit, and wallowed in my own self pity... Thanks for that, stupid April Fools, haha
Alex Anzalone...that could end up being a really funny joke (if you commit) or you may have just crapped on an already downtrodden fan base...
We lead for Elliot, per 247.
Does anyone know if Kimbrough was here this weekend? I've heard conflicting reports that he was at ND. This LB situation is crazy! Anzalone and Smith (and maybe TK) on campus and Love waiting on God knows what?! I'm starting to wonder if he has the dreaded non-commitable offer while we wait to see what those other 2(3) choose to do. We can't take 3 more LBs in this class...can we?

Ezekiel Elliott has committed!

Nice!!!!!!! That's is freakin awesome news! Been wanting this guy for a while. Huge move, way to go Urban!!!
According to billy Price on twitter, Jayme Thompson also committed. Anyone hear anything on this?
I didn't hear about Jayme Thompson committing. Can someone "validate" this news possibly?
Shendig
I just saw that too. I'd say it's a pretty good bet if Billy Price is tweeting that Jayme himself told him he committed.
Nice to get Ezekiel for sure, hopefully Thompson too then, wouldnt mind seeing a guy like Pocic committ too.

Kimbrough is at Notre Dame, Ohio State staff asked Kimbrough to come next week to see an Ohio State practice

@b_price54 Nah, Ezekiel Elliott the RB out of St. Louis just committed, Thompson hasnt yet
Gene, as always, thanks for you info esp re: kimbrough. My work productivity has gone way down since i started cruising around eleven w....but my quality of life? WAY higher!

Apparently Billy and Jayme know each other, Jayme called Price last night saying he committed to Ohio State. So I guess we shall see soon enough if that is indeed true.
I am definitely excited about Ezekial's commitment. I was very impressed with his highlight video. Can never have too many playmakers! :-)
They say he wants to be an orthopedic surgeon so he is a smart kid too. Both parents were athletes, Mizzou grads. Sounds like a great kid from a good family. Welcome Ezekial!

That Anzalone?
Is that a new one of Anzalone or old? Ezekiel has a new twitter pic but I can't post it from my phone
Saw that pic earlier and I like what implies... Hopefully another soon to be commit. Although he's still taking trips and hasn't decided which spring game to attend- OSO, PSU or one other- all on the 21st...
It's new. I would think we are in it to the end.
That picture doesnt mean a lot, every recruit wears the gear to any school they visit.
Favorite Buckeye: Obviously BJ Mullens
so does that pick of anzalone mean he commited? sure looks like it
You're right about wearing the gear........but he has been to OSU twice now in less then two months.
maybe his april fools joke wasn't really a joke! maybe he really did commit? just a guess would be nice too get a couple commits this weekend.
Here's a blog i don't think many people have heard of that deals with osu recruiting. Not extensively informative, but there's a post-visit interview with Anzalone that people should be interested regarding this weekend, and his recruiting process with OSU, and in general

Don't have premium access, but it appears that Jayme Thompson (I'm guessing its him, will need verification) has committed.
Take this with a grain of salt considering the date, but Robert Foster is saying on Twitter that he has committed, that it's not an april fools joke, and that he will announce tomorrow on KDKA (CBS Pittsburgh).

@ Alex,
Now that things seem to have settled down, I was wondering if you plan on doing a wrap up of how the weekend went. Obviously things went well with Lazard, Eliot, and Thompson, but I was wondering if you could give us any insight on how things went with the other visitors, specifically Smith, Pocic, and Anzalone.
Unfortunately Jaylon Smith I haven't been able to get to...Pocic is a man of very few words but said he enjoyed the visit and really liked it
