Which recruits...

Which recruits... 


Will actually make a significant impact at Ohio State? Now before people start blowing up, let me explain. Every class gets around 20 players in it usually and some are pretty high rated players but not all end up making a big impact in their years here. I know a lot will play on special teams but I'm talking about guys that are going to start or be in the two deep and be a serious player.

From the 2013 class I see a guy like Bosa, Hill, Marshall, and Elliott being top notch players.

Now go back to the 2012 class, does someone like Frank Epitropoulos, Warren Ball, Sevon Pittman ever make an impact? For a guy like Ball it's going to be tough with the running backs that are here now, plus the ones coming in the 2013 class and the ones possibly coming in 2014.

Waiting on BenArazi to chime in on how Urban doesn't recruit players that can't play at OSU...

So basically OSU will be starting 85 guys in a couple years.  That should really help with results on the field.  At least on defense... on offense it might be a total cluster ****.

That's why Urban is so much better than Tressel.

Warren Ball is a solid powerback who keeps his legs churning, I think He will surprise some people. Pittman has a big chance to see Playing time with Hankins and Simon leaving, He was ranked 8th overall at his position. Epitropoulis is a wild card, I saw an all-star game where he made some difficult catches in traffic and was voted MVP.

Ball was impressing before the injury.

I thought Sabino was going to be a star here, and would have predicted that Curtis Grant would be heading into a possible All-American junior season.

So who knows.

Jalin Marshall I bet will make the first immediate impact.

A star is born!! Will take this offense to another level from day one. Just get the ball in his hands. Basically Braxton part II playing hybrid. Imagine on plays when he is in the backfield when teams have to decide who to key on.

Elliot or Marshall as Urb has yet to truly utilize the pivot. Those 2 fit the bill better then anyone coming in or already aboard.
