#OhioState commit Josh Myers, five-star QB Hunter Johnson, both may be the No. 1 recruit in 2017: http://247sports.com/Article/Inside-The-Opening-Ohio-Top-RBs-Buckeyes-Michigan-more-37536381 …

Johnson + the in-state talent in 2017 makes me believe we have a decent shot at the #1 overall class that year.

I've been thinking the same thing. We could also get deangelo Gibbs which would be another five star

Will we have a class greater than 20? Does 247 consider the 21st recruit? I know Rivals doesn't. We would have to have nothing but 4s and 5s for that to happen. tough task.

 

[engineerVOL]

Also is Steve WiltedFinger proffering a dual no. 1 overall recruit? That's dumb.

TIFWIW there is a steady stream of Penn St love buzzing about in Brownsburg. Get my haircut by the highschool football score keeper, we talk. She and her family are Big Orange proud... Talked with a few of the bucks on his team too. They also like and are encouraging Penn St.

If I am a QB I stay far away from Franklin. Bob shoop is a big reason for their on field success. Franklin is just really good at recruiting. His offense is terrible. Hackenberg is a star and the only reason he didn't transfer is that regardless he is top pick next yr so no reason to sit out. He is def not a fan of the systems he is in compared to bill obriens

Ya, Hackenburg sure seemed to take a big drop off after his Freshman year.

The recruiting services will make sure to drop ut commits rankings and raise the bammers.....I promise that. But yea it looks good if we can land them all

Meh. Butch pulled Drew Richmond out of Ole Miss-loving Memphis. I'm not worried. If Johnson likes Tennessee, he will end up here. Provided Guarantano isn't an absolute star and guaranteed to be a 4-year starter.

The Bama bumps have already begun.... Jonah Williams and Kendell Jones now both 5 stars on Rivals after committing to the Tide. 4 stars on every other service.

Dobbs will still be here next yr so still would be wide open competition for that job by the time Hunter enrolled. JG will redshirt his first yr as most QBs should.

#4 in the Rivals100

If my math is right, that's top 5.

Notre Dame is pretty confident here

Unfortunately I think our depth chart will push him away. Not sure what ND will look like at QB after next year.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

I work in Indianapolis for a day or two each week...thinking I need to find this kid's school and hang a power T from the flagpole. This dude is too good to waste away in a golden helmet at notre lame.

They're loaded EVERY YEAR...and they land top QBs EVERY YEAR! If he goes there, it isn't to "duck competition". :hi:

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Notre Dame yall already stole a 5* QB from us in baby Clausen.

Time for us to steal one from them.

I believe them not taking a QB this class ends up the deciding factor. It would be awesome to get Johnson but not end of world of we don't. Odd being the ones looking stacked at QB for a change.

all Irish in the end

Agree, and we have the leg up on the 2018 kid from Georgia too (Trevor Lawrence).

This is a good point. We may not take a QB in 2017 so long as that guy develops.
