Buckeyes' Recruiting Class Of '09 Looking To Close Out With a Bang

The next player has recently popped up on Ohio State's radar, similar to that of fellow Virginian Tajh Boyd.  Morgan Moses has apparently shown interest in the Buckeyes and wants to give them a look.  Moses plays out of Meadowbrook High School in Richmond Virginia, and also considering such schools as Alabama, Oklahoma, and West Virginia, among others.

Morgan is built like a house, and it's not that far of a stretch when I say that.  At 6'7" and 345 lbs., Moses is obviously an attention grabber.  He has shown that he is a nice run blocker, but struggles against the speed rush.  Morgan's footwork need a bit of fine-tuning as does his technique, but with his impressive physical measurables, no one will let those facts scare them away.

Morgan will be playing the Army All-American game, and whether he makes his decision at that time is not known.

The last two guys currently left on the table certainly aren't slouches in terms of talent.  Mike Edwards and Jayron Hosley face slim chances of receiving a Buckeye offer, and barring any decommitments or other surprises, it seems as if Edwards has come to that realization and is looking around. Edwards is an athlete out of Cleveland Glenville who had been wanting and waiting for an OSU offer, while Hosley is a corner back out of Delray Beach Florida. 

Hosley is an interesting case, as there would be a lot of ground gaining to be done, but a visit would go a long way in helping that cause.  Jayron currently likes Michigan, South Florida, and Louisville.  Edwards seems to be leaning toward staying in state at Cincinnati.  Keep a watchful eye, as these types of situations tend to heat up as signing day approaches.

So there you have it, the potential to seal up not only the top class in the nation, but one of the most impressive classes under Jim Tressel to date.  These are definitely exciting times for Ohio State fans, despite the national perception and the constant badgering by the media on the state of the program.  Fear not buckeye fans, because the elite prospects aren't buying into it.
