Rivals $ - 2015 legacy holds three early offers '15 TN WR C.J. Sanders

  • By Givler...father is former Buckeye Chris Sanders...early offers from Stanford, Tennessee, and Mississippi State and favors Stanford...talks about his interest in OSU and Florida as well...very interested in Vandy.

BN $ - Glenville Still Producing '13 OH LB/S Chris Worley

  • By Wiltfong...not worried about recruiting and will focus on official visits towards the end of his season but Coach Overton thinks he will pick up some more offers based on his film if he continues playing the way he has during their scrimmages. 

Rivals$--Still too early for Kizer '14 OH QB DeShone Kizer 

  • DeShone is focusing on his season instead of recruiting. He may attend some games at Michigan State, Ohio State and Michigan. 

247 $ 2014 QB has trio of offers '14 KS QB Dimonic McKinzey

  • By Brian Perroni... Feels OSU is going to offer, but says they want to see how he does during his junior season first. 

BN $ - Jonathan Haden Wants To Play For Meyer '14 DC RB Jonathan Haden

  • By BK...early offers at RB from UNC and OSU...also interested in West Virginia, Pitt, Wisconsin, North Carolina State, Maryland, Alabama and Florida State but OSU is his early favorite because of his family's relationship with Coach Meyer. 

Rivals $ - Peterson working on, off the field '13 OH OL Lovell Peterson

  • Schools are waiting on his ACT score but has heard from Vandy and WVU recently...only playing defense this year...has offers from WVU and Ohio.

  • From the TAMU site...recaps his Oklahoma visit...says is he takes any more visits OSU will likely be the last one before a commitment...talks about what he is looking for...top five of Ohio State, A&M, Florida State, Oklahoma, and TCU. 

An early recruit from the Class of 2014 with a very familiar name could be making his way to Ohio State.

Haden.

As in Jonathan Haden, the brother of Cleveland Browns cornerback and former Florida Gator Joe Haden.

And, yes, familiarity played a huge role for Jonathan (Washington, D.C./Friendship Collegiate Academy).

"They're the favorite right now," Haden said of Ohio State, which has offered the 5-foot-8, 180-pound running back.

To me the Mike Mitchell situation makes it seem like he is pretty set on tOSU but wants to see some local schools before he commits. I have faith that tOSU is the place for him and that will be his ultimate decision.

Lovell Peterson is only playing defense this year?  That seems odd

@HAIL - Is he a Michigan lean?

So, I'm a little confused.  Is OSU the last visit for Mitchell or somewhere else?  Both he and his dad had mentioned a couple weeks ago that they were visiting OSU in the near future.

Kizer's skillset seems more predisposed to an Urban Meyer offense than an Al Borges offense, but the Toledo proximity to A2 will help.  I think he's 3rd on our list of QB targets behind Barker/Henderson.

If Urban wants a QB who wants to lead he needs to get Barker.  Everything I continue to read about this kid is that he leads on and off of the field.  He has been improving his skills... Nick Saban said he was the best player at the Bama camp a few weeks back.  I'm sold on Barker.  Also, I believe if I read correctly that his high school team runs the spread offense so it would be an easy transition.

P.S.  Worley just got bumped to a 4* recruit on 247... If you're a rating follower.

@matt, I'd say further back. Meyer has said that Kyle Allen is one of his top guys, while Crest was shown interest and even given a (verbal) offer. Personally, I'd take quite a few guys over Kizer, but these problems aren't bad ones to have.

Let Kizer go North...if he wants to he will.  It looks like Henderson, Crest and Barker are on OSU's radar.  As well as a kid from Marion Stein Local, Adam Bertke...he's been starting just as long as Kizer. Which Bertke has won a State title last year and possibly more to come this and next year (don't sleep on any team from the mighty MAC conference and don't give me that it's a small school conference BS...I've coached against St. Henry and Coldwater...in the play offs...they're damn good programs in that conference)....I'll take experienced and proven QBs over inexperienced and unproven QB's like Kizer.  If Kizer and TCC get passed the second round of the play offs this year...I'll be shocked.

@Hodge

I would say somewhat.  He has said Michigan is on top. 

Henderson and his family was very high on Michigan, as well.  Neither hold offers at this point and Morris is ahead.
