Nearly every 247 writer is now predicting him to the Buckeyes.

FWIW - here's Dixon after his state title game win last night -

Raekwon McMillan is set to announce tomorrow, gonna be Bama or Ohio St. It's very very close.

Tyler Luatua is also announcing tomorrow between Bama and Notre Dame, he will pick Notre Dame.

CJ Hampton should be announcing sometime this week as well, he will flip to Bama or I'll die from shock.

As expected, Raekwon McMillan is an Ohio State Buckeye!

tOSU also got a commitment over the weekend from Danny Clark, Freshman QB from Massilon.

Been busy today, just heard. Great get for you guys. Really would've like that 5 star stud.

Nice get for the Nuts. I remember when the Wolverines used to be mentioned on this board but it is pretty quiet in AA. Must be getting closer to NSD.

He's now the fourth 5* player from SEC territory we've brought in on the defensive side in the last 2 seasons. I really hope this shit pans out next season for us. We need it.

I'd like to say I feel bad for you not getting a guy of this caliber, but you're fucking Bama, so you do all the time.

Dude... WTF is going on up in AA?

It's the same every year with Hoke. Start strong and fade. It seems like all of their visits in the past two weeks were spent trying to keep current commits (Peppers) and very little trying to close out the top recruits left (McDowell).

 

[Sox33OSU]

What are the feelings on Peppers? I know Penn State is really coming after him.

I originally thought he would leave when he made that tweet. Now I think the odds are in our favor. Should know soon. If he takes a visit somewhere, he is gone.

Which tweet?

 

[jalopy]

Which tweet?

The week leading up to The Game he tweeted he was going to take some official visits after his season ended. He has since backed off but hasn't ruled it out. He took his official to UofM this past weekend. No word yet on how it went. Hand is recruiting him pretty hard as is the aforementioned PSU. Personally, I would bolt if I were him. It could be ugly in AA if Hoke doesn't show huge improvement (I think they will) in '14.

Is Hoke gonna be around for the entire season if he doesn't get his shit together?

Yeah, there isn't much that could get him out before the '14 season ends and I don't think they should. The last thing our program needs is another coaching change. That said, if I were David Brandon I would have feelers out there seeing who is interested in the job and if the right name bites, bye bye Hoke. I don't pretend to be smart enough to know who those names are.

The bad thing is, he's still recruiting gangbusters.

Hoke and his rule about official visits make me think he's a huge dumbass. I was on the fence about him, but the results he gets and not allowing recruits to take other visits without pulling the offer just kind of set me over the top.

I'd want to shove him out the door if I was a Michigan fan.

Change needs to be result oriented, not for the act itself.

VT just flipped 4* QB Chris Durkin from Michigan State.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Shai McKenzie is announcing on Friday. He is down to Georgia Tech, Pitt and Virginia Tech. He is a consensus 4 star RB from Washington, PA. He has offers from....a lot of schools. Thursday, Montae Nicholson from Pittsburgh a consensus 4 star safety. His finalists are FSU, Michigan St., Oregon, Pitt and Virginia Tech.

My guess is a good weekend for Paul Chryst.
