BR has Drew as the #9 OT after the opening.
College Football Recruiting OL Rankings 2015: Top 10 After The Opening | Bleacher Report
:clapping:
hmmm...
Blair at LT
Thomas at C
Richmond at RT
Blair, Crowder, Jackson and Kerbyson are all JRs.
They could move Mack to a guard position, but that means Jackson or Kerbyson become 2nd string. JW what this means about our current guys
I see no scenario where Jackson doesn't start.
Imo Mack is most likely not to start if those you listed

Mack that was chosen by the coaches as 1 of 3 players on the entire team to go to Media Days. I think the coaches opinion of Mack as a player is a little higher than that of most fans. All most fans seem to remember is that he was not highly ranked by the recruiting services.
This. You don't send a second team center to SEC media days as a spokesman for the team.
He is a very smart, very mobile, tough center. The kind Butch likes at the position. The talk of Thomas at center is when Crowder graduates, gets injured, or messes up. Since we are weak at OT let's all hope that the last two are not the case because Thomas is needed at OT.

I don't understand the allure of OSU to SEC area athletes at all. If I was an elite football player prospect from the Southeast (and setting aside the fact that I would be a Vol given the opportunity), I would be interested in the SEC schools, FSU, Clemson, Miami, Texas, USC, UCLA, and maybe Oregon. I despise a number of the teams on that list as a fan but I can see why they would be interesting to players whether because of prestige, campus location, city, girls, innovative schemes, cool jerseys, etc. OSU, however, is a mystery. Ohio sucks as a state. It's cold during the winter. It doesn't have a beach or a cool city nearby, etc. And, they beat up on inferior competition in the Big Ten and then generally get exposed as frauds by SEC, Big 12, and PAC-12 programs. In short, there's nothing redeeming other than having a historically good football program. Plus, Urban Meyer is a phony and a creeper of the highest order. Really, when Meyer was hired at OSU, it brought a unity between the team I may hate the most and the coach I surely hate the most.
From 247 today:
The Buckeyes are locked in a three-way battle for Top100 offensive tackle Drew Richmond. The Memphis (Tenn.) University School big-timer is also highly considering Alabama and Tennessee with this visit being another chance for Ohio State to remind the 6-foot-5, 320-pound Richmond why he likes the Buckeyes so much.
I agree completely! Maybe some of these kids were to young to remember those vastly overrated OSU teams getting throttled by UF and LSU. OSU would finish 4th or 5th in the SEC most years.I don't understand the allure of OSU to SEC area athletes at all.
