The summer official visit season is now over, but more BOOMs could still be coming to Ohio State.Ohio State already landed three big BOOMs from in-state prospects over the past week as quarterback Tavien St. Clair committed to the Buckeyes’ 2025 class last Wednesday and Glenville teammates Bryce West and Damarion Witten joined Ohio State’s 2024 class on Saturday. With Eleven Warriors recruiting reporter Garrick Hodge filling in for Griffin Strom on this week’s episode of Real Pod Wednesdays, we start the discussion by talking about each of those three commitments and why they were all priority targets for Ohio State.Then, we predict who will join West, Witten and Ohio State’s other 14 commits in the 2024 class by playing another round of “In or Out” with the Buckeyes’ top 18 remaining targets in the class. A brief summary of our predictions for each player, with more rationale for each of our picks in the podcast:Player | Garrick | DanCB AARON SCOTT JR. | IN | OUTS KJ BOLDEN | IN | INDE EDDRICK HOUSTON | IN | INDE DYLAN STEWART | IN | INS PEYTON WOODYARD | OUT | OUTCB KOBE BLACK | OUT | OUTCB MILES LOCKHART | IN | INLB KYNGSTONN VILIAMU-ASA | IN | INDT JUSTIN SCOTT | OUT | OUTDT JAYDEN JACKSON | OUT | INDE MARQUISE LIGHTFOOT | IN | INDE NIGEL SMITH | OUT | OUTOT BRANDON BAKER | OUT | OUTOT GUERBY LAMBERT | OUT | OUTOL DANIEL CRUZ | OUT | OUTWR JEREMIAH MCCLELLAN | IN | INWR ELIJAH MOORE | OUT | OUTWR JOSHISA TRADER | OUT | OUTLater in the show, we also talk about a few of the players who impressed us most across Ohio State’s six high school football camps, our expectations for Brice Sensabaugh with the Utah Jazz and our thoughts on who did and didn’t make Ohio State’s Four Kings at linebacker.The full rundown:0:47: Tavien St. Clair’s commitment a prime example of how quickly things can change in recruiting3:52: Ohio State will continue to recruit Ryan Montgomery, but he’ll probably end up elsewhere7:13: Buckeyes took St. Clair because of his potential – and because they knew he wanted in15:53: Bryce West and Damaron Witten were always likely Buckeyes, but closing the deal matters19:43: Vince Marrow’s “groan man” tweet was not a good look for Kentucky21:16: Witten’s potential as a pass-catcher is obvious, but will he be a true tight end?28:14: The race to land Aaron Scott Jr. remains too close to call between OSU and Michigan31:18: Ohio State looks well-positioned with KJ Bolden, Eddrick Houston and Dylan Stewart36:40: A Peyton Woodyard flip from Georgia to Ohio State looks less likely than it once did37:56: Ohio State has gained ground with Kobe Black, but he’ll still be tough to pull out of Texas39:26: Miles Lockhart, Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa trending toward OSU after visiting this past weekend42:05: Chances of landing Justin Scott appear to be improving, but his recruitment is far from over43:45: Jayden Jackson appears to be most likely DT commit, but he’s not an Ohio State lock45:26: Marquise Lightfoot is likely in at defensive end, which could leave Nigel Smith out46:44: Top remaining offensive line targets could all end up elsewhere50:10: Ohio State still in a good spot with Jeremiah McClellan, but Elijah Moore could be trending away52:42: Buckeyes not out of the race for Joshisa Trader, but they have to get him back on campus first53:51: Mylan Graham, Devin Sanchez, Jordon Davison among biggest stars of camp season59:13: Brice Sensabaugh went around where we thought he’d go, though not a team we expected1:00:44: Just establishing himself in the rotation will be Sensabaugh’s top objective for year one1:03:06: Tom Cousineau should have been one of the Four Kings at linebacker
