Found this interesting. I couldn't embed the tweet so I'll put the link and if someone would embed it in a comment that would be great.

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.
Really hope he comes to OSU. Best WR still out there IMO
Thank you kind sir
Interesting and exciting to think that for all the "drama" we've all enjoyed/endured in the last few weeks that we might actually end up with so many highly-touted weapons in this class.
Hey, I hope so, but I'm not sold he's not a Gator unless the visit this weekend is cancelled (or UF runs out of room)
Maybe it will be one of Urban's surprises
Sounds like there may be two schools ahead of UF right now...
But seems pretty fluid...
Clemson and Ohio State
I think it is Ohio state and Northwestern...
Not sure how "wowed" he is going to be by FLA...he has been there 6 times and this is an unofficial visit. FLA can't do nearly what it needs because of that
Stay golden, Ponyboy.
Corey Smith, Jalin Marshall, possibly Clark, little hope on Wilson...something screams too good to be true b/c that is a lot of competition and possible non-playing time for a future star. Might be off on this assesment though.
"Winter is coming" - Urban Meyer
It's The Ohio State. They expect the competition. Go Bucks!
Clark/Bell
Clark/Wilson
Bell/Wilson
Ohio State finishing with any of these 3 combos would be nice. If Meyer somehow got all 3 that would be fantastic.
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
Please! Please! Please! be Clark/ Bell
It's looking more like Ohio State and Clemson, from what I can tell. I don't want to get my hopes up but I like our chances
I want Clark more than Wilson. Anybody else?
Definitely not.
Another negative, yet expert opinion by SE.
I agree. Want a pure WR. We already have Marshall and Jacobs for slot/hybrid. Give me Clark and Bell to finish out.
Agreed!
When someone shows you who they are believe them! In other words piss a good friend off and see what they really think about you.
What he said^^^
"Statistics always remind me of a fellow who drowned in a river where the average depth was only three feet." - Coach Woody Hayes
I'm with you on that one WTU.
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
Urban's offense has always thrived with big speed. Clark has more than Wilson. I'd rather have Clark. Wilson wouldn't hurt but if there was a choice that's what mine would be.
Give me Clark I'm not high on Wilson I'm not really sure why we went after him because we could've
Had Elder or Timmons already I hope we finish with Clark Bell Elder.
When someone shows you who they are believe them! In other words piss a good friend off and see what they really think about you.
When I first saw his highlights, I was with you. After I watched them a 3rd time I understood why Meyer and the boys were pursuing him. Dontre is definitely a playmaker. His speed is almost deceptive.
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
I agree it was hard to see the speed for me as well because I kept noticing the refs outrunning the defense. These film highlights show Florida has some bad high school teams also. Clark looks very good though.
That speed he showed on his punt return in the UA game was spectacular. Remember he was limited the entire week of under armour practice with a sprained ankle. Also the level of talent he played against in Texas was top notch, so when you see him breaking away it is legit.
I like Wilson over Clark, but honestly I should not be relied upon to split hairs between the two. I really have no ability to judge who will be better frankly. I just have to pick one so I go with the one that impresses me on film the most and compliments wo we already have the best.
James Clark hopes to make a silent commitment by Sunday(today). I really like Clark and really hope we get him, but unfortunately it's not looking the best for tOSU. He is rewteeting a lot of pro Florida stuff over the last day. Although, maybe he doesn't look too happy in this Florida uniform?!?
He was tweeting a ton of pro-OSU stuff during his visit as well. Im holding out hope!! He has 4 osu pics to 1 fla pic on twitter so i think he picks osu hahahaha
I think Clark was pretty much a goner when he took a 6th visit to Florida that was unofficial. I don't expect him to be on the osu class
Stay golden, Ponyboy.
Said he was pretty sure he knew where he was going prior to UF visit but not 100% so he needed to make one last UF trip to make sure...I read that as OSU was leading prior to that visit & hope they still are...
As far as tweets - I wouldn't read a whole lot into it. He seems like a very positive kid who likes to tweet out positive stuff. Hid did it while here, he did it after UF...
The world is full of kings & queens who'll blind your eyes & steal your dreams - it's heaven & hell - Ronnie James Dio.
If we don't ge Clark, I doubt we get anyone on signing day. Bell to UT, Dontre to Oregon, Elder to Auburn and Clark to UF. Would be pretty disappointing but we still have a great class.
I agree with obi
just read new article on 247. He loved his visit and got to see academics side of UF. Was very impressed. Coaches told him that hes the main target, and he is who they really want. see,ed like a lame pitch, but he's buying it. He also noted this visit was as good as any other school. i think UF jumped ahead, unfortunately.
Florida coaches telling him that he is their main target after a year of slow playing him...and after they took 4 or 5 other wide receivers ahead of him...smh
Stay golden, Ponyboy.
I agree. It'd be like us telling Timmon's he's our clear target.
If Clark wants to go to a class which already has 5 true WRs in it when OSU only has Smith (who is a junior) and Jacobs as true WRs then more power to him.
Meyer did great just getting into his top 2.
Are the coaches allowed to contact recruits still? I'm sure Urban will be on the phone with him all the way up until NSD.
Dead period the next 3 days, If I remember correctly coaches cant call recruits then.
Favorite Buckeye: Obviously BJ Mullens
That would be a SENSATIONAL finish! I worry about losing EZE though since he is having an "announcement" on local TV. Bad feelin' now...
Dontre Wilson's announcement was on local TV also.
yep..think clark is a Buckeye also...
Stay golden, Ponyboy.
Bill K on Bucknuts just said Clark will sign with OSU tomorrow...unless a last minute change of heart he is all Buckeye
He can have EzE's scholarship.
SILENCE YOU FOOL!!!
Follow me @jaythesportsguy
Playmakers at WR yo
This was biggest need, EZE loss does not sting with so many playmakers this class and great rb's next yr.
Still think EZE is all Buckeye
Guess well find out tomrrow.
I think I'm going to switch my Ezekiel Elliott prediction to #Missouri. Need to do a little more digging before I make the change though. (Miles11W)

Nothing like dancing on the field in 02...
Billy Price his future teammate also promised hes not going anywhere via twitter.
Clark is the one I'd like to get. I have mentioned earlier last week or so that we would add Bell AND Clark to the mix. OSU and the talent those two bring seems like a logical fit with our program and needs.
Clark is a beast, we land him and playmakers all over the board, nice.
Holy macaroni that would be amazing. Adding Clark to all the other playmakers we already have, we'd be completely stacked like Oregon's offense, except with a better O-line (assuming 2014 class goes well) and an elite defense. Please be true!
+1 for using the phrase "Holy macaroni"
"You win with people." - Woody Hayes
BIG officiating crews best get in shape and get ready to try and keep up with the speed Coach Meyer is bringing to town.
Im gonna give an educated guess on this one and say James will be a Buckeye tomorrow.
I feel more confident about Clark than I did about Wilson.
This class is getting pretty epic
I'd love to have James in this class. Those who commit will be champions...those who don't will be something else.
I've been calling Clark and Bell to finish this class for a few days now.
Was about to say something about that.
Great calls if we manage to land both.
Personally I think we get Clark. Bell is still a toss up in my mind. Can't get those rumors about his brother telling insiders OSU just to create drama.
I didn't hear about that... Followed his brother for a few days on Twitter and got annoyed by his tweets so I unfollowed him.
Dammit.
edit: wrong thread
I'd wished a while back for Bell & Clark, looks like Clark & Wilson instead....#nottoofuckingshabby.
The world is full of kings & queens who'll blind your eyes & steal your dreams - it's heaven & hell - Ronnie James Dio.
This is big time... A lot of guys calling Clark to OSU now...
+1 I hope we get Clark! If someone has Flordia's ESPN Insider(I don't) they could confirm what jbook is saying:
Jbook said Tyson is calling Clark to OSU.
I know that's what jbook said. I think he read the article in Tyson's tweet and I just wanted to know if someone else that had access to it could/would read it and just confirm, so there would be two sources confirming what Tyson said. However, Tyson just tweeted it since I posted that, so there is no longer any need. Tyson just came out and said it publicly.
Gainsville Sun journo says:
"I was just told Florida does not feel it will land the New Smyrna Beach receiver, and there are some late reports coming in that he's now expected to pick Ohio State.
Not sure what changed as most had him UF bound earlier today and some sources I spoke with over the weekend thought he would be a Gator. But that doesn't appear to be the case anymore.
I gotta give props to Robbie for calling this."
+1 thanks ATX!
I hope this happens... All we will need to land is Bell and I got my predictions right...
would rather have eze then any of them. pretty unfortunate if we lose him
I may have to call off work tomorrow if we land both Clark AND Bell, I doubt they would be happy if I showed up with an erection.
Depends where you work I suppose.
Oh and.… yikes
Or you could do it like Ron Burgundy and say that its just an optical illusion.
"if irony were made of strawberries, we' d all be drinking a lot of smoothies right now."
It's the pleats.........
Depends on your work field. In structural engineering, e.g., erections are a goal.
