I remember watching Scarlett on ESPiN a few weeks ago against Trotwood-Madison. He's a special player.

Yeah Scarlett was a beast. Didn't he have like 100 yards at half?

Rural Meyer on 19 Sep 2012 - 6:44pm #

Didn't nick Dillion get an offer?

GeneStarwind Mod on 19 Sep 2012 - 6:51pm #

No offer for Dillon, he camped and OSU expressed some interest, but that was all.

The staff needs to go after 2015 DB Shaun Crawford of Lakewood St. Ed's. He played last year a little towards the end of the year. His first snap on the varsity was the playoff game against St. Ignatius. He had a huge INT at a crucial point in the game. Big time ball skills, as well as legit speed. He made the 100 and 200 state finals as a frosh.

Buckeyes125 on 19 Sep 2012 - 8:19pm #

What number is Shaun Crawford?

GeneStarwind Mod on 19 Sep 2012 - 9:23pm #

I believe Crawford wears #17. He's a Michigan fan too. He likes USC as well and said he would camp there next year. That's all I really know on Crawford.

Yes you was, good call, Nebraska offered him first today. Ohio State offered him on his visit.

Hayze on 7 Dec 2012 - 7:01pm #

Me thinks Nebraska offered today because they figured he was going to be offered on his visit and they wanted to be the 'first offer'.

When Urban was talking about having resources at OSU that he never had at Florida for recruiting underclassmen, I really had no idea what he was talking about.

I think this is the end result though and we'll end up getting a huge headstart on building relationships with a lot of these players.

Statutoryglory on 13 Jan 2013 - 1:04pm #

Maybe the strong relationship OSU has with basically every big program in Ohio? In Florida I imagine the ties are a little fractured with certain high schools only pipelining to FSU, the U, or Florida and not being as friendly to a rival?

AndyVance on 13 Jan 2013 - 1:01pm #

This is the first time I've peered at the 2015 list, but given our current stable of backs and looking at the next two or three classes, I can't help but ponder: Is it time to start calling Ohio State "Running Back U?"

Love the evolution of our running game under Coach Meyer. Three yards and a cloud of dust... and then some.

Isn't there a stud 2015 RB from Ohio that OSU has on its radar. LJ something?

TheBadOwl on 23 Feb 2013 - 10:12pm #

LJ Scott is 2014, doesn't look like he'll get an offer unless we miss out on a bunch of guys. Shame because I really liked his film.

I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.

buck-I.8 on 7 Mar 2013 - 2:07am #

There is another LJ Scott in the 2015 class, here is his tape. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E9c1G70cTc

johnny11 on 7 Mar 2013 - 1:37pm #

Nice film.... straight line guy not a lot of wiggle, but he is young and still has a lot of filling out to do. Could be a real good prospect by his senior year especially once he fills out more.

Only 1 out of 20 offers so far is to an Ohio kid? Any reasons why that might be?

Triv on 14 Apr 2013 - 11:55pm #

Typically the offers that go out this early are going to go to the big name out of staters, as it doesn't take an offer to get the attention of the Ohio kids, a simple phone call from Urb will keep them interested this early on

Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite

CORNERof13THand... on 15 Apr 2013 - 2:21pm #

That makes sense, but I still have to believe that if they can find 9 florida kids that are good enough to get an offer right now, they can probably find more than 1 Ohio kid.

Crimson on 4 May 2013 - 6:04pm #

Yeah, but as was posted somewhere else, it's a lot easier to give out a noncommittable offer to an out of state kid; if you do it to an Ohio kid, their coach might throw a fit. Odds are most of these are that way.
