Dominoes is the best way to describe the way recruiting is going since Coach Meyer took over as the head coach at The Ohio State University. With each passing day it seems a new domino falls into place and what we seem to be ending up with is the perfect domino trail to success.
As more and more recruits go back home and meet with their parents and coaches and friends we are getting more news of verbals. Coach Meyer has focused heavily on DL and LBs and with this newest recruit he got one that can play both or either.
So here is how my day went yesterday. Got up at 5 AM drove 4 hours in a car with the wife and 2 kids. Sat on 315 for an hour. Parked in a lot at least 2 miles away from the shoe walked to the stadium sat in 40 degree temperatures with blowing winds and rain for 3 hours.
So Thad Matta had an interesting recruiting season this year for most of the year he only had on scholarship to offer that being of his Sr. Will Buford who has graduated and is moving on to the NBA draft. Then Jared Sullinger declared for the draft giving him 2 schollies to offer.
Well we all knew it would be a big week for this years recruiting class but still didn’t expect this many recruits to verbal before the Spring Game festivities. So far this years class seems to be defensive minded but with the news today OSU has hit the offensive side of the ball hard getting the QB they so desperately needed and wanted.
Well we are a few days away from the first Spring Game under new head coach Urban Meyer and what is believed to be a huge recruiting weekend. As of right now the weather service is calling for cold temperatures and a 30% chance of rain.
As has been rumored for weeks now JD Weatherspoon and Jordan Sibert have officially asked for and been given their release from their scholarships at The Ohio State University.
Jordan Sibert a 6’4″ SG from Cincinnati is a sophomore with 2 years of eligibility left.
To say that recruiting under Urban Meyer has changed drastically from the previous regime would be a huge understatement. Since Coach Meyer took over he has gotten commitments from 18 players. 8 are from the Great State of Ohio and 10 from 9 other states.
To the surprise of no one today at a press conference, Jared Sullinger decided to forego any remaining eligibility and enter the NBA draft. The press conference also featured his current head coach, Thad Matta, who was very proud of Sully and supportive.
It just wouldn’t be normal at this point if Coach Meyer didn’t have at least one if not a few flips to his recruiting class. After all we are still 10 months away from signing day and most recruits at this point are still easily flipped if he really wants them.
It seems like it has been FOREVER since the last recruiting update but it really has only been a month since Evan Lisle became a member of the 2013 class. This weekend was a huge recruiting weekend for Coach Meyer and his staff as they hosted several top recruits as well as most of their current commits and members of the 2012 class for spring practice this weekend.
In what seems like years but is actually just a couple of weeks OSU and Coach Meyer landed another recruit for the 2013 class today. Maybe us fans had gotten spoiled by the frantic pace of the first 2 months of Coach Meyer recruiting to save his 2012 class and we got use to daily recruiting pick ups and news.
From our friends over at Kegs ‘N Eggs comes this awesome video recap of Denard Robinson’s throwing and dunking prowess on the set of ESPN basketball Gameday recently.
For most of his life Eli Woodard was a giant Buckeye fan and he always had dreams and aspirations of becoming a member of the team he so dearly loves. Today he got one step closer. Becoming the 4th member of the 2013 Ohio State recruiting class and the 2nd recruit since last weekends Junior Day at OSU.
