Jim Harbaugh Moving In On OSU Commit?

Four-star 2017 Arvada (CO) Pomona OT Jake Moretti committed to the Buckeyes on July 4th, but he still remains a top target of in-state Colorado and a host of other schools, including Michigan.

“Schools keep coming after me,” Moretti said, via 247Sports. “(But) I’m good with Ohio State. I’m 100%. I love Ohio State. Ohio State is a special place.”

Michigan is rumored to be the one school coming the hardest for Moretti, though, so keep an eye on that as his recruitment process progresses.

Multiple Schools Attempting To Flip Five-Star OSU CB Commit

Five-star 2016 Jacksonville (FL) Trinity Christian Academy cornerback Shaun Wade has been committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes since January, and he doesn't appear to be wavering on his pledge.

However, that's not stopping a bevy of other schools from attempting a flip. Taking that into account, OSU is reportedly trying to get Wade on campus as soon as they can.

He had talked about returning to Columbus for the team's game recent game against Penn State, but later told Bucknuts that he'd be unable to. He still wants to get to a Buckeyes game sometime this season, "just not this weekend."

The 6-foot-2 and 175-pound CB is ranked as the nation's #13 overall prospect and #3 cornerback, according to 247Sports' Composite Rankings. He currently holds 27 offers from the likes of LSU, Florida, Alabama and Auburn.
