This is a kind of a best case scenario... I am not claiming it will definitely be 25 of the first 26 I list... but I definitely think our 2018 class will be made up from the 40 top "current" Buckeye prospects I list below (unless of course....another Chatfield or Banks commits out of nowhere....LOL).
(I think the 5 most likely to not be in the clsss would be):
1) Zamir White
2) Tyreke Johnson
3) Al'Vonte Woodard
4) Houston Griffith
5) Jaiden Woodbey

Since we haven't had a chance to discuss the class possibilities in awhile... I would love to get your guys input on your dream class. As well as your input on the chances (odds) of closing these remaining prospects.
Lastly.. is there anyone that you would add or subtract?
Thank you all in advance for both your civil and thoughtful responses....
