- As Chris mentioned in the comments, Cardale Jones has committed to Ohio State as well. He will be coming to Columbus after spending 6 months at prep school and will enroll in Winter or Spring quarter of 2012
- Ja'Juan Story stuck with his commitment to Florida
- Aundrey Walker of Glenville spurned OSU for USC
- Darius Jennings picks UVA. Looks like he wanted to play offense and stay close to home.
- Shane Wynn is an Indiana Hoosier! If OSU had offered he'd be in, but nice get for Kevin Wilson.
- Glenville LB Andre Sturdivant signed with Toledo.
- Toledo Rogers (DerJuan Gambrell) has announced they are postponing signing day festivities until tomorrow at 9am.
- Chris Carter was arrested today on accusations he fondled girls at his school. Obviously, we will not see a NLI from him today and you have to wonder if he'll ever make it to Ohio State.
-
DerJuan Gambrell is in.
