Some more Recruiting for your pleasure.

The Buckeyes got their 14th commitment of the 2011 recruiting class, and it comes from a defensive end in Joel Hale. The recruiting staff is just getting started, apparently, as the recruits keep on rolling. Hale, 6-foot-5, 295-pounds, is a three-star prospect that chose Ohio State over the likes of Florida, Penn State and Georgia Tech. He is expected to play defensive tackle for Ohio State. Hale is also the third commit since Braxton Miller made his decision to be a Buckeye.

"It is thought the 2011 recruiting class could number as many as 22 by National Signing Day."

That quote comes from Scout.com, and I'm happy to say that they might be right. The whole Braxton Miller commitment is really going to help future recruits, because they know what he can do on a football field, and they will have trust from Day 1.

"In his junior year at Center Grove, Hale notched about 50 tackles (12 for loss), 4 sacks, and 1 interception. He says he runs about a 5.0 in the 40-yard dash, can bench 395 pounds, and has a 27-inch vertical leap. "

Pretty decent stats up there, but we will let you decide whether you like him or not. Here's some video of his playing in high school.
