So either this recruiting class is finished, lots of players are already knowingly going to transfer or several committed players are going elsewhere... Braxton coming back actually hurts OSU in this case. I have read that one of the players committed is going to Grey Shirt (pay his own way the first year). That puts them down to 20, but still over the available limit.

Ohio State might have worked itself into a numbers crunch with its 2015 football recruiting class, which stands at 21 commitments, three more than the Buckeyes have openings.

 

The Buckeyes were not going to turn down a pledge from offensive lineman Matthew Burrell of Woodbridge, Va., who picked Ohio State over Penn State and Tennessee on Monday. Burrell was always going to have a spot in this class, as was Drew Richmond, an offensive lineman from Memphis, Tenn., who committed to Mississippi instead.

 

Among others whom coach Urban Meyer and his staff would like to land are running back Damien Harris of Berea, Ky., and defensive end Josh Sweat of Chesapeake, Va., who was rated the No. 1 overall prospect nationally before a knee injury ended his senior year.

 

What’s interesting is the situation with offensive lineman Branden Bowen of Draper, Utah, and defensive back Juwuan Briscoe of Waldorf, Md. Recruiting analysts were expecting each to choose Ohio State this week after Bowen rescinded his commitment to Utah and Briscoe rescinded his to Clemson. It appears that those two have gotten word to hold off on committing until things become clearer with other players.

 

Ohio State is going to need attrition from its roster just to fit in 21 new players, let alone more.

Gotta look at attrition within the class too...

 

First, Liam McCullough is a grayshirt offer so he doesn't count. Then Carlton Davis I've read about grades or just him being recruited over (Briscoe/Taylor). Green same thing with being recruited over (Briscoe/Taylor). Josh Alabi may very well switch to MSU with Mike Weber (currently committed to Michigan) which then leads LJ Scott back to OSU unless Harris somehow starts trending back towards OSU.

 

No matter what, the coaching staff knows so much more about what's going on with their numbers and it looks like they're going to take around 6 more players...

 

2 OL (Bowen and James or Richmond)

1 DL (Gallimore)

1 DB (Briscoe or Taylor)

1 WR (Cager)

1 RB (Harris or Scott)

 

The 2 OL would be additions. Gallimore takes Alabi's place, Briscoe/Taylor take Davis/Green's place, the WR and RB are also additions.

Good game by indiana. Dominating all aspects of the game.

 

Well, except for their offense vs. our defense. LOL

 

Be Hoosiers, get three turnovers (and one HORRIBLE horse collar call), 2 in great field position, still be losing at the half.

 

This STILL isn't even a contest. OSU just needs to execute.

Another failed opportunity to blow out an opponent and make an impression with the selection committee. No reason OSU should jump in ranking after this narrow victory over an Unranked team.

 

and Alabama didn't do the exact same thing several weekends ago against Arkansas? Not to mention the squeaked victory against LSU.

 

You are nothing more than a troll or an idiot.. I cannot decide.
