In this episode of The Buckeye Sloopcast, Kyle and Jared start the show focused on Ohio State’s 2019 recruiting class, and lack of commitments at this point. They go over some of the top Buckeye targets, specifically the quarterback position. Then they take a look inside the Ohio borders for some of the key storylines…
With the 2018 recruiting class well in the rear-view mirror, and an idea of what kind of numbers the Buckeyes will be shooting for in 2019, it is time to begin looking at some of the prospects Ohio State is targeting in this current recruiting cycle. OSU is still sitting with just one verbal commitment in the 2019 class, but…
Ohio State went into the weekend before the February 7 signing day needing to land an offensive tackle, and they were in the thick of it with the nation’s best prospect at that position — Nicholas Petit-Frere (Berkely Prep/Tampa, FL). Petit-Frere took his time with his decision, using up each of his five official visits in a…
After completing our look at what Ohio State’s 2019 recruiting class could look like on the offensive side of the ball, it’s time to turn to the defense and special teams. It’s quite a puzzle to try to put together, because there are only two players who are guaranteed to be gone after the year, but another six or more could…
Before Doug Nester was a 4-star offensive line prospect, and before he was an Ohio State verbal commitment, he was a Buckeye fan. Just a leisurely three-hour drive to the OSU campus from his home in Huntington, West Virginia, Nester has followed the Buckeyes for years, citing players like Terrelle Pryor, Braxton Miller…
The final National Signing Day of 2019 is right around the corner – just 51 short weeks away! A lot is going to change between now and then. At least four players are going to leave the program before fall camp even starts. Then the 2018 season will play out. Some guys will get hurt. After the year, a talented group of seniors will leave.
When Tampa offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere committed to Ohio State and signed with the Buckeyes last Wednesday, he gave the 2018 OSU recruiting class a very important piece that they had been lacking. Ohio State is thin at offensive tackle, and even though Tennessee tackle Max Wray signed in December, the Buckeyes…
Jared and Kyle do some signing day recapping — and there’s a lot to talk about. How much did the early signing period help or hurt? How about Urban Meyer’s response to losing the state’s best player? Which 2018 signees will have the biggest impact this season? Plenty of other signing day items are discussed as well…
For the second year in a row, Ohio State finished with the No. 2 recruiting class in the nation per the 247Sports Composite. And for the second year in a row, the Buckeyes led the nation in highest average ranking per recruit. It’s far from breaking news to report on OSU’s recruiting superlatives, but that doesn’t mean…
Shannon Sommers and Chip Minnich are joined by Tony Gerdeman to give a recap of Buckeye football’s signing day. The guys talk about the new additions that signed with the Buckeye and the one that was 50-50 but chose Penn State. There was also a discussion about the state of the Big Ten and the way they recruited this year.
