Urban Meyer is the first coach to benefit from Penn State's problems, recieving a verbal commit from 5 star DL Tommy Schutt. Penn State's 2012 class is falling apart and players are flocking elesewhere for visits. Tommy Schutt was the first player to actually commit to a different team yesterday when he announced he would be joining Ohio's 2012 class. I did a blog on saturday about Ohio's big weekend visits and who I thought could possibly commit, Schutt was one. He's a stud, I will show you evidence in a minute.
Ohio also recieved a commit from 4 star DE Se'von Pittman from Canton. Pittman was verbaled to MSU but has been on the fence as of late because of his girlfriend will play b-ball for Ohio. I'm sure that's not the only reason but Ohio fans should thank that young lady for swaying him a bit. Pittman is a huge DE, big enough to play SDE or WDE. He is 6'5" and last that I seen, he was pushing 270 lbs. Pittmans commit pushes Ohio into the top ten in the country, according to some sites. I personally thought Ohio only had 4 or 5 slots left but a source I heard said 6 or 7. That gives them 18 commitments with a chance to sign 22 -23.
Since Urban has started his recruiting tour, he has had three players verbally commit. I will go on and say that the addition of Pittman and Schutt should excite the hell out of Ohio fans. Look at the possible future DL, barring any problems, injury, grades, a possible bust.
Ohio's DL depth next season
DE's DT's
John Simon SR John Hankins JR
Nathan Williams SR Darryl Baldwin SO
Kenny Hayes SO Goebel SR
Melvin Fellows SO Michael Bennett SO
Adolphus Washington FR Adam Bellamy JR
Se'von Pittman FR Tommy Schutt FR
FR. Washington and Schutt are both Army All-Americans.
Here are clips of all three of Urbans Commitments
Tommy Schutt 5 star DT, 6,3" 290 LBS

Yea, he's real good. He moves well for a huge kid, great effort.
Se'Von Pittman 4 star DE, 6'5" 270lbs

Watch that third play for example. Pittman is a stud athletically. If Ohio gets lucky enough to have Pittman on one side and Washington on the other in a couple years, it would actually remind you of those Florida DE's from his 06 team.
Ricquan Southward 2 star WR, 6'1" 190

My take on Southward is that he is a big athlete who has potential. Most importantly is that Southward is from Lakeland, Florida. For those who don't know, Lakeland High school was Meyer's stomping ground when at Florida. This is a way for him to get his foot back in the door and say " i'm back, come see me". At one time, Lakeland produced 10 Florida commits in one season.
