Sitting at 21 what is the next thing to happen?

Ok sitting at 21 we miss on quick which sucks but this is still an elite class. I would predict 4 more signings, with bell and Gibson to be the most likely done deals. Dontre Wilson I think is the third with Chip Kelly headed out of Oregon, but that fourth name eludes me. Any ideas?

Worley is basically a silent commitment right now

Nice thinking man, beat me to it a few seconds earlier ;)

Haha one more day until I'm back in Columbus and combing 21 credit hours with 30 hours of work a week.

Edit: Christopher Worley, good samaritan.

Really cool to see him around the neighborhood helping out like that.

I think Worley will be next, followed by Gibson. Then Bell or Wilson, sprinkle in one or two 2014 commits.

bucknasty13 on 5 Jan 2013 - 5:13pm #

I don't think Bell is a done deal.

buck-I.8 on 5 Jan 2013 - 5:14pm #

No, but at the momentum is with OSU right now, so I'm ok with including him in projections

Agreed.

F--- Michigan!

We will see something next weekend at WR I bet with Elder and Timmons both visiting.

I feel like if Timmons gets an offer and commits on the spot there should be some sort of celebation for waykracken

Ideally: Bell, Wilson, Elder, Worley to finish the class... i expect Elder and Worley, have a good feeling about Wilson (think if he visits its over), completely unsure about Bell but rumors have been good since last nights UA game

I'd like to see another OL in this class.

Round on the ends and hi in the middle.

I feel like we're deep at OL heading into the season especially with Kyle Meadows not even seeing the field yet. Next class however I expect at least 4 standout linemen

buck-I.8 on 5 Jan 2013 - 5:22pm #

That may be because Kyle Meadows is an uncommitted senior in high school... But Kyle Dodson hasn't seen the field yet, so there's that.

Good ol' fashioned witt. Thank you. Denny seems to have disapearwd as of late and has totally skewd the quota. I appreciate ypu filling in.

Funny how people start to appreciate your smarmy comments when they aren't directed at your parents.

gbm on 6 Jan 2013 - 12:21am #

I musta missed a thread or two, but i dont get offended easily so cheers away mate.

kareemabduljacobb on 5 Jan 2013 - 6:17pm #

We need OL now, as we're going to be losing 4 starters off our line after next season.

HighBallAce on 5 Jan 2013 - 5:21pm #

I have a feeling there is something in the works with Timmons ;o}

WayCraKen on 5 Jan 2013 - 5:26pm #

I think you are right. Timmons getting that call from Fla yesterday with the message asking him not to commit until they have a chance to talk to him I believe means they at least think he is getting the offer.

buck-I.8 on 5 Jan 2013 - 5:35pm #

The Florida staff doesn't know anything that we don't

Waycracken I enjoy your updates. Where do you get your info?

This came from a Franklin County coach I saw at the local BB game last night

BuckeyePride on 5 Jan 2013 - 5:24pm #

I have not heard the rumors about Bell since the UA game anyone care to share??

Two quotes from Dontre Wilson.

“I think the continuity of the program is still there,” Wilson added. “Coach Kelly came in from being the OC and he was very successful. I expect Coach Helfrich to be the same way.”

“The minute I saw Thomas return that kickoff I was ready to throw on a jersey,” Wilson added. “I’m 100 percent committed to Oregon.”

FWIW

I hope that Gibson, Wilson/Elder, Bell and Worley finish up the 2013 class!

chromedomebuck on 5 Jan 2013 - 6:56pm #

I think Gibson and Worley. Bell I'm 50/50 on. And Wilson like 30/70. I can see them being in our class but I'm not going to bank on it. For a sleeper of sorts, I think Hunt (OL) has a chance to be in the class.

By NSD, I'm going to say 24 guys.

Gibson - 22

Worley - 23

Yet to be determined - 24

How did Elliot do? I unfortunatly fell asleep! I did however wake up to see Mitchel's commitment!

EE played H-back for the majority of the time he was in, which is unfortunate because he's not an H back. He did catch one screen pass for a gain of 19. He looks fast and I think he'll possibly contribute next year on special teams or in the slot.

Buckeye_in_SEC_... on 5 Jan 2013 - 7:01pm #

I think we get a commitment from someone next weekend whether it be Worley or Elder... If Bell commits it will be silent until all of his visits are completed. I'm thinking the staff will be working to flip someone come NSD. I don't believe they are content finishing with Elder/Timmons/Larue to finish out the WR class. I understand speed kills and it doesn't matter how big you are, but I think they want a true WR to put out wide. We could put Gibson out and he will be great if/when he comes, but I think they want another WR like that.

EDIT: I also believe Corey Smith will be in play even tho he is committed to Miss St. He visits this month too.

I have been saying for a while now that Meyer will save a spot if available for a 3 star or lower project wr with good size. Just a thought.

I want Hunt in this class. Looked pretty good at the All-American game as well as the practices. We need depth in the trenches on the offensive side of the ball.
