The Ohio State Buckeyes Thread v.12 — 8 in a row

Another one of those 7 Florida kids that came last weekend has committed with 4* Mark Fletcher, 6'1", 225, RB

Awesome get for us. Kid looks unreal and might still be the beginning of more. Out of the 7, Cedrick Hawkins was the first, now him, Tate will more than likely commit, and a couple others loved their visits. All have said they're coming back in the summer also. This coming after Hawkins said he wouldn't be surprised if all of them committed at one point. 

Tough to not be excited about this.

At worst, he appears like he can step in and be the short yardage smash mouth back we have missed lately

I think the reasoning for us not having those type of guys is schematic.

 

Day probably wants RBs who can catch and be a factor in the passing game.

Yeah, definitely not a shifty back but looks to have solid speed for his size and looks like he can catch. A downhill runner that will definitely punish people. Have to wonder if we'll even ask him to get any bigger or maybe shed some weight. He's huge for only being a senior in high school

This dude is really convinced. The potential here is insane for this class if this kid is telling the truth. Still, love seeing the help in recruiting

 

Edit: Still doesn't include Jeremiah Smith and JoJo Trader also. There's no way we could have all those WRs

Fletcher looks like he has a Carlos Hyde style to him. I’m not saying he will be Derrick Henry by any means but I do think he will be a better version of what Miyan Williams is here. They should still be able to get a good second running back in the class. Offense continues to shape out nicely. Really, the gap last year between Alabama/Georgia down to where Ohio State was is the defense, not offense. They are continuing to recruit at the highest level on that side of the ball.

And now Steve Wiltfong has CBd Dylan Raiola to us. Others are disagreeing with him but he is the top dog in recruiting so it still means something. This is crazy. Still would like a QB in 2023 though.

Yeah the talk is that he is probably going to commit here within the next month. Top QB and player in ‘24 by a couple networks. No slowing down at least with the offensive recruiting.

Definitely no slowing down. We're certainly going to make teams have to score a lot to beat us, seemingly. I do worry about our ability to bring in top CBs lately though. Defensively, our '22 class has some solid defensive prospects in Hicks, Abor, Curry (already lost his black stripe), Styles, and Jackson but we're definitely lacking top CB recruits. Doesn't mean our new coaches can't make the best of what we wind up getting but it is something I noticed. 

I didn't know Dylan was potentially going to announce in the next couple months either. Something to definitely keep an eye on.

Bryson Rodgers just committed. High 3* WR from Florida but watching his highlights, he looks better than that. Has good speed and looks like a solid route runner.

Edit: Apparently originally from Warren and grew up a huge Buckeye fan
