After the onslaught of 12-Star Monday, the Buckeyes climbed back into the top spot of the national recruiting rankings in the eyes of the three major recruiting networks, Scout.com, Rivals.com and 247Sports.com.

ESPN.com had not been as optimistic about Ohio State's class as the other networks, at least until today.

The Buckeyes jumped up four spots in the rankings and are now The Worldwide Leader's top-ranked 2016 recruiting class.

Will Ohio State, who is hoping to land a huge commitment from five-star defensive tackle Rashard Lawrence on Friday, stay there?

Urban Meyer has not won a "recruiting national championship" yet at Ohio State but he's in a pretty good position to do so in 2016.
