OSU's star-studded class includes Cam Burrows, J.T. Barrett and Mike Mitchell

We went to the experts -- 247Sports.com's J.C. Shurburtt and Gerry Hamilton and Scouting Ohio's Mark Porter -- for their thoughts on OSU's 2013 football recruiting class.

I believe this class is going to add immediate impact to play next season. I think it will be specifically on the outside. We already have the interior running game working but what is missing is the LEGITIMATE fake to the outside on a jet sweep that a defense has to account for and respect. We get that with the addition of the more speedy players who will line up at slot and either take a few hand offs for the jet sweep or the fake to open it up even more inside for Miller or Hyde. Also the quick flik to the outside on a WR screen when defenses start pinching down is going to be deadly with the new guys.
I'm pretty excited for next season.

I think JT's thinking was that if you could get the best Ohio players every year you could probably win the Big 10 and certainly go to a BCS Bowl. I think Urban has set the target higher, and feels if he can get the best in the country AND the best in Ohio, the National Championship is within his grasp.
