Football recruiting clock ticking
National Signing Day is 13 days away. For serious college football fans, it’s kind of like counting down to Christmas.
Ohio State fans will find plenty of impressive players under the tree on Feb. 6. Of course the big prize, quarterback Terrelle Pryor, is still in play. He visited Michigan last weekend and, by all accounts, had a good time (although he did have to endure a UM basketball game, which should help OSU’s chances).
Currently, Ohio State’s incoming class is ranked No. 6 by rivals.com. The Buckeyes have commitments from seven of Rival’s top 100 players, as many as LSU (4) and Michigan (3) combined. Florida, Notre Dame and Alabama hold the top three spots in these very subjective rankings.
Ranking high school football players is an inexact science, and these rankings might not mean anything in two years, but they’re about the only measuring stick out there for those of us who like to keep score.
Jim Tressel is in Florida today, recruiting in the backyard of the SEC and ACC. The Buckeyes have 18 verbal commitments so far, including a few from the Sunshine State.
