If Ohio State's playoff collapse was supposed to slow the program down, Urban Meyer didn't get the memo.
The Buckeyes are still shaking off their disappointing 31-0 loss to Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl, but they're primed to bounce back after signing the country's No. 4 recruiting class on Wednesday.
The 21-member group includes prospects from eight different states, stretching coast-to-coast from California to Maryland. Nine of those recruits graduated high school early to enroll at Ohio State and take part in a full offseason, so there's a good chance that some of these true freshmen will see the field this fall.
