As Pfef brought up yesterday, the Buckeyes picked up commits from Duron Carter and Carlos Hyde over the weekend. But apparently Ohio State recruiting is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it sort of thing. While Pfef was busy breaking down the Carter and Hyde commitments, Kentucky DB Justin Green was busy committing to the Buckeyes. That was followed by commitments today from OH DB Bradley McDougald and PA DB Corey Brown.

If Green's name is familiar to you, that's probably because "Justin Green" is a pretty typical name. However, Justin is the younger brother of former OSU defensive lineman Marcus Green, so if you've been stalking Marcus Green, you may recognize his brother from your travels. Green is Rivals' #6 cornerback and Scout's #21 CB and is a four-star recruit to both services. With offers from Illinois, Louisville, Miami (FL), Tennessee, and West Virginia, among others, it's safe to say he's a pretty big-time recruit. At 5'11" and 180 lbs., he possesses decent size for a corner. His speed is his most significant attribute, and by most accounts he's pretty impressive with the ball in his hands. Don't be surprised if he sees time as a return man or even moves to the offensive side of the ball if numbers require it.

McDougald is a local boy, from Dublin Scioto High School. Rivals has him as a four-star recruit and their #10 safety, while Scout has him as a three-star prospect and the 47th-best safety in the class. He had offers from a variety of mid-major programs, but has also picked up offers from Wisconsin and West Virginia, suggesting he's a rising prospect. Considering the coaching staff's track record in plucking quality defensive backs seemingly out of the ether, I don't worry about his rankings or offers that much. He's 6'1" and 190 lbs. with good speed, and he looks to be a safety all the way.

Seemingly minutes before McDougald committed, the Buckeyes received a commit from Brown. He's Scout's #8 CB and Rivals' #5 ATH, with offers from Alabama, Michigan, Notre Dame, WVU, and plenty of others. He's the teammate of OSU commit (and star of OSU's class so far) Dorian Bell. Brown has decent size (6'1", 180 lbs.), but his speed is so-so (4.58 forty on Scout). However, he makes up for any lack of top-end speed with great instincts and body control. He could play either side of the ball for the Buckeyes.

At this point, commitments from four-star prospects aren't even interesting anymore. "Oh, another talented recruit has committed? Very well, bring out the banana of celebration. *Yawn*" I'm beginning to understand how Hugh Hefner must feel.

Another gorgeous blonde? Whatever. Put her with the rest of them.

If you're thinking that the Buckeyes have an awful lot of commits at this point, you'd be right. They currently stand at 22 commits. According to BuckeyePlanet's handy-dandy scholarship breakdown, the team has space for 23 players in this class. However, I don't think that number is quite right, as it counts Justin Boren and Joe Bauserman against the scholarship limit. Both are paying their own way and (I think) won't count against the 85-scholarship limit. Subtract them out, and the class can number as high as 25. Assume that Beanie Wells isn't crazy enough to turn down the NFL (or that someone else will leave early if he doesn't) and we can safely assume space for 26 players. That's four additional commits. Who could they be? Here's the top four on my wishlist:

1. Marcus Hall - OL - 6'5", 290 lbs. - One of the top recruits in Ohio and a Glenville product. The latter makes him a must-get in my book.
2. Marlon Brown - WR - 6'5", 205 lbs. - A five-star recruit, a receiver in the Calvin Johnson mold. The Buckeyes are pretty well set on receivers, I think, but you make room for a guy like this.
3. Jaamal Berry - RB - 5'11", 190 lbs. - Arguably the top running back in Florida, and one of the top backs in the country. Carlos Hyde and Jordan Hall could do a thunder-and-lightning thing for this class, but Berry could be both in one package.
4. Corey Adams - DT - 6'3", 275 lbs. - One of the top DT's in the country. Not a position of major need, but after the team had to press Doug Worthington into DT duty (and after expecting the worst from that move), I'm a little paranoid about having enough defensive tackles.

If the Buckeyes could get two of the above four, I'd be happy. Heck, even if they don't, this is already one of the top classes. Who do you guys want to see commit next?
