    If you follow college football recruiting, the first week in February is much like Christmas. Many fans wait with anticipation waiting to hear if their school landed a top 10 recruiting class and then debate why they missed out on a sure fire All-American. With National Signing day approaching for high school seniors, Jim Tressel and staff have gained 22 verbal commitments for the 2011 class and are waiting on 4 high school seniors to announce their decisions in the next 24 hours. Currently Scout.com ranks Ohio State's 2011 class as the 4th best in the nation, Rivals.com ranks Ohio State's 2011 class as the 11th best in the nation and ESPN.com ranks Ohio State's 2011 class as the 7th best in the nation.

    Lets take a look at the remaining prospects considering the Buckeyes:

    Curtis Grant

    Audrey Walker

    Cardale Jones

    [​IMG]

    Darius Jennings

    [​IMG]

    Wavering?

    Ejuan Price

    Prediction

    In my uneducated opinion I think Ohio State finishes the 2011 class with the following:

    Grant = Ohio State
    Walker = Ohio State
    Jones = Ohio State
    Jennings = Virgina
    Price = Pittsburgh

    Recruiting is just another reason why I love College football more than the NFL.

    " Jennings is considering Ohio State, Virginia and Wake Forest. Jennings will announce his decision Wednesday, 2/2/11 at 7:30am est."

    Bro sleep in....why announcing so early? LOL

    P.S. - A glenville kid turning down ohio state is akin to a traitor!!!!!!!

    Yep, all of Price's actions indicated he was going to Pitt. It just goes to show you recruiting is a crazy world.............

    I am also going to miss on Walker, but everyone is going to miss on Walker.........

    I'm not too sad about Walker, we already have some good prospects coming in with this class and I'm comfortable with JT knowing what he's doing

    There are quite a few prospects in Ohio in the 2012 class that we can target on the offensive line that are comparable to Walker............I am not worried at all.

    I always say, if that prospect says no thanks, well go on to the next prospect..............

    I confess I don't get the appeal of USC. Yea hot chicks rock but other than that, I'm not sure what that college has. I went there for the beatdown game, but that campus is garbage, its surrounded by the hood of south central los angelas and you feel like you're going to get shot by a member of MS-13. UCLA is a different situation altogether, now that is a beautiful area and a great campus.
