Tuesday's Buckeye Bits

Good morning Buckeye fans. Welcome to your Tuesday Buckeye Bits. Unfortunately we are entering the worst month on the sporting calendar tomorrow. February is the worst.

College basketball is still weeks away from the greatest tournament on earth, the NFL will be coming to a close with this weekend’s super bowl, pitchers and catchers are still a couple weeks away from reporting and it’s COLD.

Don’t fret Buckeye fans! I am here to scour the internet in hopes of finding some interesting tidbits for you to read. Let’s get to it.

Buckeyes continue their hot streak- National signing day is only a few days away and the Buckeyes continue to pull in the blue chippers. The latest commit was corner Armani Reeves out of West Roxbury, MA. Depending on what recruiting site you look at, Reeves is listed anywhere from the 17th to 8th best corner available. It came down to OSU and Michigan in the end and I think we all know he made the right choice. It probably didn’t hurt that his high school teammate Cam Williams signed on last week but we’ll take them any way we can get them.

Monday's Buckeye Bits

Good morning Buckeye faithful, and welcome to your Monday edition of the Buckeye Bits. It's National Signing Day week, and that means the last couple of pushes, nudges, and full on shoves from coaches to recruits to sign with their school. As for the Buckeyes, they sit with 23 commitments, and hope to add to that number with a couple of big players.

I personally love the recruiting game. It's an interesting thing to watch a kid toy with coaches and fan bases with a simple tweet or even rumors that are started about said recruit which aren't true. Now all of that comes to the boiling point Wednesday, but might continue on for a couple of the recruits seriously enjoying the recruiting process.

Anyways, on to the Bits.

23 You Say? Not So Fast My Friend. As I mentioned above, the 2012 class stands at 23 commitments, but as we told you yesterday, wide receiver commit Roger Lewis is no longer a verbal to the Buckeyes, after not meeting the entry grade on his test. This opens up another scholarship, yes, but also puts on some serious pressure for Urban Meyer and his staff to lock down a commitment from another receiver. That can come in the form of Stefon Diggs or Davonte Neal.

4-Star Outside Linebacker Camren Williams Commits To Ohio State

Williams is the 23rd 2012 commit

It's been rumored for a while now that 4-star OLB Camren Williams was going to decommit from Penn State and become a Buckeye, and even hinted his Buckeye lean in our interview with Camren a while back. As of today, Camren has officially given his commitment to Urban Meyer and Ohio State via Twitter, giving the Buckeyes their 23rd commitment in the 2012 class.

During Wednesday and Thursday, Meyer had played host to two super prospects visiting Ohio State over the past two plus days, which of course included then-Penn State commit Camren Williams but also was hosting William's teammate, Armani Reeves.

The 4-star linebacker and 4-star cornerback flew to Columbus on Wednesday morning and finished their visits this morning. Reeves was accompanied by his aunt and was on an official visit to Ohio State. Williams was an unofficial visit, but it was to bring his mother to the campus and see what Ohio State had to offer as a school, not just a football program.

The 6-foot-2 and 217-pound Williams made 119 tackles with two interceptions playing mostly middle linebacker during his senior season. Williams is a 4-star prospect in the 247Sports rankings. He is the No. 2 prospect in the state of Massachusetts, the country’s No. 15 outside linebacker and the country’s No. 174 overall prospect.

Reeves made 57 tackles and intercepted a pass during his senior season. He too is a 4-star prospect in the 247Sports rankings. Reeves is the No. 1 prospect in the state of Massachusetts, the country’s No. 7 cornerback and the country’s No 82 overall prospect.
