per Fox Sports:
Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer is arguably doing it better than anybody these days, but he still can barely stand having to recruit prospects too early.
How early is too early?
"Juniors are committing and I'm not allowed to go out in the spring and recruit, so you try to get them to come to your campus," Meyer said last week during Big Ten Media Days in Chicago. "I think it's very risky. I'm concerned about it. Mark Pantoni is our director of that part of our program and is very concerned about it. If you start taking commitments and getting a ton of commitments as sophomores, I don't like that. It's not what we try to do. We have to be very cautious because what happens? My son has grown that much."
The Buckeyes have not only 19 players for the 2016 class who have verbally committed prior to playing their senior seasons but also 10 for 2017 who are yet to begin their junior years of high school.
