We can't emphasize enough what a huge recruiting weekend this is for Ohio State. Remember Scarlet Sunday, February 10, 2013, in which three class of 2014-ers committed to Ohio State in a span of about 90 minutes? This weekend has that kind of potential.
Amongst those expected this weekend include:
4/4/2013:
Demarre Kitt (6-1/182) WR | Sandy Creek H.S., GA
Chris Williams (6-1/287) DT | Sandy Creek H.S., GA
Darius Wade (6-1/182) QB | Middletown H.S., DE
Verondtae Wilkinson (6-2/220) OLB | Trotwood-Madison H.S., OH
Jamie Akin (5-10/180) RB | Ben Davis H.S., IN Not Ranked
Class of 2015 Prospects
Montel Swanson (6-4/180) WR | Ben Davis H.S., IN Not Ranked
Kitt and Williams are actually already on their way to campus with Mr. Kitt providing us with an aerial view of Ohio State's practice facilities as well as Morrill and Lincoln Towers.

Additionally '14 RB Nick Chubb, '14 JUCO OT Jermaine Eluemunor, and '14 JUCO OT Chad Mavety were all planning on taking in this weekend but had to cancel for logistical reasons, JUCO/NCAA visit restrictions, and the latter again respectively. Needless to say though, Urban Meyer and his staff will more than have their hands full anyways.
So who's the most likely to join the likes of Kyle Trout, Damon Webb, Marcelys Jones, Parris Campbell, and Dylan Thompson as verbally committed members of the class of 2014 for Urban Meyer's Buckeyes? Sam Hubbard, who we spoke to in early March, would seem to be an early favorite. He's visiting Michigan today and still has some allegiances to Notre Dame (as a former lacrosse commit), but he's awfully high on the Buckeyes as well.
Don't rule out Dante Booker, either. The high school teammate of Campbell has been said by some to be chomping at the bit to make a pledge to OSU official, and this weekend might just give him that opportunity.
