Brent Bendict - No question the #2 tackle in the country on my board. He is long and has the feet of a left tackle but has the nasty and the punch to play right tackle. I don't know if the Buckeyes waited too long to offer.
Jordan Hicks - Has it gotten quiet on the Hicks front, or what? He has become as enigmatic as Matt James. He says he will narrow down his list by the end of the school year.
Rod Smith - Last report I was bothered by the lack of a verbal when he came in for the spring game and was talking about other schools. I have learned that this has everything to do with grades. He wants to be a Buckeye. The Buckeyes want him. He fits what we want to do here. I hate making predictions on verbals but with a gun to my head I would say Smith would be next.
Garrison Smith - You gotta love his most recent comments. He has offers from everyone. He framed Ohio States. He came across as a Tressel type kid in interviews. He has played it so close to the vest until we learn about this matter of framing. He would not say if he has any others framed. I would pay good money to find out.
LeMarcus Joyner - Still need to see a Florida kid walk away from a Florida school when there is no clear separation on the part of an out of state school. I know he had a great visit here. He had a great visit to Florida State too. I like that there is going to be a coaching change right after his arrival at Florida State. I like our cornerbacks to the NFL tradition. That is where I see the difference.
Andrew Donnal - Camp offer or we lose him. Bet the farm.
Tyrone Williams - I see a Rod Smith situation with Williams. His comments say he does have an offer. I think it is a conditional one like with Smith. I think this is an underrated kid. He did not play alot last year with the knee injury. I think recruiters and recruiting services have overlooked him because of it, plus the grade problems. The only receiver I have seen in the region who is better is Prater.
C.J. Fiedorowicz - I see a kid who is so athletic you can split him out. Kids like that do not come here.
Chad Hagan - A real head scratcher. I don't like that there is no film out there. Too often it is a kid who is not that impressive. We know the college coaches have seen him. His offer list is underwhelming. This staff has not had a good track record with recruiting safeties, especially the ones that they go off the beaten path for.
