Finally getting some time to catch up a little!!
Urban Meyer is well on his way in making this OSU team his own. Since Late November of last year, The Urban train has been in fast forward and continues to be as of today, with his most recent commitments of Marcus Baugh from California, Tracy Sprinkle from Ohio and today landing JT Barrett(QB) from Texas.
The Spring game is coming up this weekend and the list below has become very extensive and with some surprises. For those of you that know Joey Bosa, who visited last week and wasn't really in the radar as a OSU lean(Several SEC teams were ahead), all of sudden has become a prime candidate to join this group in the coming year after announcing he is coming back this weekend!!!. The defensive line is quickly becoming devastating! That makes this weekend a very interesting one. Meyer can potentially get a few more new recruits in house with Bosa, Heureman and Anzalone who are rumored now to being very close to making a decision.

• CB Eli Woodard (commit)

Meyer's National Recruiting philosophy is beginning to get more legs as you can see where he is spending his time in the 2014 recruiting class, with only two Ohio players on the radar- currently.

Urban Meyer is well on his way in making this OSU team his own. Since Late November of last year, The Urban train has been in fast forward and continues to be as of today, with his most recent commitments of Marcus Baugh from California, Tracy Sprinkle from Ohio and today landing JT Barrett(QB) from Texas.
Since late November Meyer has recruited and has commitments for 22 players to date. Not bad for less then 5 months at OSU.:coolgleamA:The country's No. 1 dual-threat quarterback, JT Barrett (Wichita Falls, Texas/Rider), has committed to Ohio State.
"I feel Ohio State is the place for me," Barrett said. "And I felt if I would have went somewhere else I would be missing out. So I wanted to be a part of the Buckeye family.
Barrett visited Ohio State near the end of March and came away with a great feeling about the Buckeyes. He told Bucknuts.com earlier that Ohio State, LSU, Texas Tech and Nebraska were his top choices at that time and he would make another trip back to Ohio State, most likely in the summer.
Barrett's list of scholarship offers included Ohio State, Nebraska, LSU, Texas Tech, Arizona, Illinois, Ole Miss, Baylor, Kansas State and Mississippi State before he selected the Buckeyes.
The 6-foot-2 and 205-pound Barrett completed 102 of 171 passes for 1,605 yards during his junior season. He connected for 14 touchdowns with seven interceptions. Barrett also rushed for 1,521 yards and nine touchdowns.
Barrett is a 4-star prospect in the 247Sports rankings. He is the country's No. 1 dual threat quarterback, the No. 38 overall prospect and the No. 7 overall prospect in the state of Texas. He is commitment No. 10 for the Buckeyes, who have the nation's seventh-ranked recruiting class for the 2013 cycle.
The Spring game is coming up this weekend and the list below has become very extensive and with some surprises.
