- 4* OL Jordan Diamond (#60 overall) will be visiting tOSU, possibly as soon as next weekend. Meyer's hiring is the key with him... he was originally thought to be a Michigan lock, but then Arkansas/Auburn took over the lead for him, but things are pretty wide open. Chance for us to make a big splash with him, he's the #1 OT on our board.

- 4* WR Joel Caleb (#58 overall) came in on an official this weekend. He was blown away, and said he had the time of his life.

- Look for some movement with 3* DE Jamal Marcus. His film is incredible (Very Shazier like) and he could very well be a LB at the next level... Coach Meyer loves the kid's ability.

- Others likely coming in on visits: 4* WR Cyrus Jones (#90 overall), 4* DE Dante Fowler (#47 overall, current FSU commit), 5* DE Darius Hamilton (#19 overall).

- There are also multiple guys who expressed interest after talking to Meyer... these guys aren't likely at all to end up Buckeyes, but one of note is 5* DT Eddie Goldman (#5 overall).

- Before Monday, Brionte Dunn was a full-fledged Michigan commit still wearing an Ohio State label. Meyer changed that. He called him at 7:00 that night (His press conference ended at 6) and apparently made a huge impression, stemming the tide and putting things back to 50/50 (Some speculate we actually lead now..)
I really wonder what Meyer said to Dunn and how truthful he was about how he would actually be used in Meyer's offense.
