Wire Hitting The Fan Archive Ohio State, Meyer Filling Up Recruiting Class
Written by David Regimbal

It didn’t take long for Urban Meyer to make noise in the recruiting world after being named the head coach at Ohio State -- but after a wave of early commitments, activity on the recruiting front died down during the NCAA mandated “dead-period” during bowl season where coaches aren’t allowed to actively pursue prospects.

It only took a little over a week for Hurricane Meyer to get going again. In the last three days -- three new four star recruits have pledged their allegiance to Buckeye Nation.

Taylor Decker started things off on Monday, becoming the 20th member of the 2012 recruiting class. Decker, 6’8 and 313 pounds, is the 31st rated offensive tackle in the country (probably Ohio State’s greatest position of need this year), and chose to opt out of his commitment to Brian Kelly and Notre Dame.

Joey O’Connor kept things rolling on Tuesday. O’Conner is a former Penn State commitment, but was the first recruit to de-commit from the University after news of the Sandusky scandal broke. From Colorado, O’Conner (6’4, 295) is the 15th rated interior lineman in the country and will likely play either guard or center at Ohio State.

David Perkins rounds out the trio of commitments. Perkins is a four star linebacker prospect from South Bend, Indiana. Freakishly fast for his size (he runs a 4.4 forty at 225 pounds), Perkins is the 11th ranked linebacker in the country and fills a position of need for the Buckeyes.

With three to five spots left in this year’s class, I’d expect things to happen quickly as the top remaining prospects in the country will want to secure their spot in this class. The Buckeyes are targeting guys like Kyle Dodson (OT), Cam Williams (LB, Armani Reeves (CB) -- among others.
