The First Rivals Underclassman Challenge is going on this weekend, and while being overshadowed by the opening, I'm interested to see how our targets are doing. If anyone hears any relevant news, please feel free to contribute.
Here is a list of important names:
QB Drew Barker - KY
DT Mike Barwick - OH (Cincy)
LB Tinashe Bere - OH (Cincy)
WR Justin Brent - Indy
RB Jonathan Haden - DC
CB Chris Hardeman - TX
ATH CJ Hilliard - OH
RB Mikel Horton - OH
LB Davonte James - OH
OT Demetrious Knox - TX
WR- Josh Malone TN
CB Edward Paris - TX
S CJ Reavis - VA
S Brandon Simmons - TX
RB Mikale Wilbon - IL
These are all guys whose names I've heard tied to OSU, Malone, Barker, and some others have already visited. Apparently Demetrious Knox wore an OSU hat to the camp today, he grew up a fan, and getting him early would really open up inroads to the other TX targets. Anyone else with any news?
Paris says he wants to visit OSU, that's all I've seen.
Is Jonathan Haden related to current Brown and former Gator, Joe Haden? I know Joe is from MD, just outside of DC.

Yes, his brother. He's shown high interest in OSU.
Yeah, Meyer has reportedly already offered Haden and should be using his relationship with Joe to his advantage

@Hayze, yeah I put that in the description, below the list. pretty great though, people often say they're a fan of a certain school, but I like to see it shown
Was in Desoto TX in the 8th of July with Mike Barwick.
He had a great performance, he was given 4 challenges
in the one one sessions where he faced top competition
and he did not lose a challenge. He went 4-0 and he definitely
had one of the best performances there of the DL prospect.
