We are less than a week away from the start of the early signing period, and there are still some Ohio State targets out there that we’re all waiting on decisions from. We didn’t really know what to expect when this new early signing period went into effect a few years ago, but what it has turned into is most all commitments deciding to sign their national letters of intent in December rather than waiting for the traditional National Signing Day in February.
We expect the same this year, and to be frank, despite another top-five class right now based on almost all of the major recruiting services, Ohio State is a little behind where it normally is as far as a number of verbal commitments at this point in time.
That means it should be a little more eventful signing period than what we’ve seen in years past, and we’re here to bring it all to you — as always. We’ll have our recruiting tracker as those official commitments start rolling on Wednesday.
But before that, we thought we’d bring you up to speed on where things are with the remaining Ohio State targets that are out there and where things seem to stand (as hard as that is to figure out).
Let’s get into it.
