Movement shuffles top-five O-line targets
Don’t like the air in the recruiting world today? Much like the weather in Ohio, wait two minutes, and things will change. With news that offensive guard Demetrius Knox has set an official visit to Ohio State, and offensive Damian Prince is planning a one-day summer visit, things in the trenches took on a new look.

Though it’s a position of strength for Ohio State, Se’Von Pittman (Canton, Ohio/McKinley) has left, thus opening a spot for someone to take a place in the trenches.

Buckeyes pick up proven recruiter/player
Every school needs a leader in its recruiting class. Not one that stands out while on the field — virtually every athlete does that at a BCS program — but one that will take the lead when it comes to spreading the good word about the university. Lonnie Johnson (Gary, Ind./West Side) could be that pledge for the Buckeyes in the class of 2014. The eighth pledge in the class, Johnson became hooked after talking to 2013 ESPN 150 cornerback Cam Burrows.
