FNL Primer

Urban Meyer has brought many great things with him from Florida and this may be his best.  Friday Night Lights is a camp for the best of the best who hope to play for, or be recruited by Ohio State.  The past two Friday Night Lights have been a huge success, as some of the best talents travel from all around to be there.  This year is not going to be any different.  The lineup for this years event is stacked with some of the top talent from Florida, Ohio, Texas, and anywhere else around the country.  I am going to get you ready with three recruits I think you should follow closely at the event, from the 2015 class.  One of them has an offer and I think the other two are going to earn an offer today.

Is Torrance Gibson and Ohio State actually going to work out?

Torrance Gibson- Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Torrance Gibson is actually on the Ohio State campus right now.  This is huge for both Gibson and Ohio State.  Gibson has told people that he has not talked with Ohio State in a while, but that all seemed to change now with his visit taking place for FNL.  He has tried to make it to Ohio State before but had issues getting there and was not able to make it.  Gibson was very excited when I spoke with him the other day, about the visit to Columbus.  He told me that if the visit goes well, they would move up into the top three along with Auburn and UT.  I think that Ohio State has a really good shot with Gibson and I think this is going to help a lot.  If Gibson is blown away on his visit, I wouldn’t be surprised if we became the favorites again.  He is very adamant about playing quarterback at the next level, but even with Joe Burrow in the fold already, I think Gibson brings a whole different aspect to the offense.  His recruitment is going to be exciting to follow.

C.J. Conrad- Lagrange, Ohio (Kentucky Commit)

Here we are again with C.J. Conrad.  News broke that he was going to be camping at Ohio State today, and it may or may not come as a surprise to many.  He has made it no secret that Ohio State was his love growing up in Ohio.  He did not earn an offer from Ohio State after multiple camps, etc, and then committed to Kentucky.  Ohio State really wanted him to camp and he was reluctant to do so, because of his Kentucky spot.  He has thus decided to camp today and I think he is going to earn an offer.  I think if/when he earns an offer, he is going to flip his committment not much after.  I think he is going to earn it today at camp and could be an Ohio State commit by the beginning of next week.  This just shows how much he really wants to be a Buckeye.  I think he gets offered and commits soon after.

Lawrence Cager- Towson, Maryland

Lawrence Cager is one of my favorite WR targets in this class.  He has recently received offers from Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia Tech, and Alabama.  I think today he is going to earn an offer from Ohio State at the Friday Night Lights camp.  He is the type of receiver that Urban Meyer wants for the vertical passing game, as he stands 6-5.  He has been showing out at recent camps and even The Opening.  He is very open about how much he loves Ohio State and they are his favorite.  This is an offer he wants more than any other.  He has told me before that he wouldn’t commit on the spot, but might commit soon after the offer.  I think Cager is going to get an offer today, then commit soon after.  If he does not get an offer tonight, I think he could get one shortly and commit soon after that.
