Zach Boren committed to Ohio State for the 2009 class this past week, as the 14th member of the class does this class grow into one of the best in recent history?

Bill Smith: Like all drafts, it is difficult to analyze a class of freshmen until they take the field.  Getting the players you want to commit to the school is only half the story.  The rest is having them produce on the field like you thought they would.  There is no question that this class looks beyond outstanding and we have every reason to believe that it will produce a lot of wins.

Pete Quint: It's always hard to say which class produces the most talent since we are all just going by what we think we know.  The class looks a little light on the offensive side of the ball so far but there are six more scholarships left and nearly a whole year to draw some more talent into Columbus.  It will certainly be a great class but I'm not sure if we can call them the best quite yet.  If they can land a top tier receiver and a running back then we can start the discussion.

Eric Geier: Break out the streamers, tie a balloon on the mail box and hire a clown, another Boren is coming to Ohio State. Ohio State is quite stacked, now they just need to prove it on the football field. 

Ryan Leonardo: Yes, but so do all of Tressel's classes so far.  He will eventually pass Cooper in the contest of "who can get the most players into the NFL."

Steve Patterson: This class is filling up early with great talent from around the mid-west. They will look to finish off strong with some highly ranked players from Florida and other more distance football hot beds. Beating a fourth place national finish in 2008 will be difficult for the 2009 class but the class will be bigger which always pushing up the national ranking.
