The class of 2010 has not been one to get excited about.Not alot of top drawer talent and with the Buckeyes having a small class there is not a lot to talk about. The class of 2011 is the complete opposite. I see 6 sure Big Four players just off sophmore film. 2 already have Buckeye offers. I think this could be aclass where the Buckeyes save a lot of money on travel.There has been some movement in the top 20. Doran Grant is looking like one of the better corners to come out of the state in the last 5 years or so. The more I see Trey DePriest the better I like him. I am not as high on Geno Sturdivant. Here is the latest top 20 for the class of 2011:

1. Braxton Miller 6-2 185 QB Huber Heights Wayne
The best quarterback prospect from Ohio in my lifetime.

2. Steve Miller 6-5 220 DE Canton McKinley
A sure national 5-star end. I have not seen an end in Ohio this good at the same point.

3. Donovan Clark 6-4 285 Ath Cincinnati Finneytown
I don’t know if he is a DT or a LT all I am sure of is he a great prospect.

4. Doran Grant 5-11 170 CB Akron SV-SM
A ball hawk with top drawer speed, great hips and great feet.

5. Kenny Hayes  6-6   224    DE Toledo Whitmer
I only hope to see another year with two potential five-star DEs in Ohio again.

6. Chris Rock   6-5  255     DL  Columbus DeSales
Likely grows into a tackle but right now he is a great looking strong side DE prospect.

7. Trey DePriest 6-2 215 LB Springfield South
Instincts to spare. Always around the ball. Moving up more than any player in the class.

8. Cole Stoudt 6-3 200 QB Dublin Coffman
Better than his brother. He would be the talk of the class if not for Miller. Will the Buckeyes go for the double?

9. Aundrey Walker 6-5 310 OL Glenville
You just don't see bodies like this very often. Raw but moves well. Could be elite.

10. Eilar Hardy 6-0 180 CB Pickerington Central
Great player. Looks like a corner but speed may push him to safety.

11. A.J. Jordan 6-1 170 WR Trotwood-Madison
Maybe the best ever out of the Trotwood program.Great hands and ball skills.

12. Josh McClain 6-2 200 WR Clayton Northmont
A big receiver who just needs to qualify his speed to jump to the top of this list.

13. Robert Walton 5-11 190 RB Glenville
Recent film impressed me. Best back in the class at this point.


14. Aundre Sturdivant 6-2 205 LB Glenville
Good middle linebacker. Good instincts. He goes as far as his body takes him.


15. Ray Hamilton 6-3 215 TE Strongsville
Doesn't have ideal size but looks good catching the ball and is a solid blocker.

16. Ronald Tanner 6-0 180 Ath Eastmoor Academy
Explosive and elusive high school quarterback that could make a great receiver or corner.

17. Chase Hounshell 6-4 225 OL Mentor Lake Catholic
Not ideal sized but plenty of room to grow, great feet and nasty.

18. Shaquil Pettaway 6-1 200 LB/S Steubenville
Could be a linebacker or a strong safety but I see a Star. Great instincts and a hitter.

19. Ed Killingsworth 6-3 190 WR/DB Warren Harding
A physical specimen that cannot be ignored.

20. Matt Cyrus 6-1 200 RB Hilliard Darby
Big back with a great body and a physical style of play.
