While in Indy last week for Super Bowl Media Day, MyValleySports.com's Jon Scott spoke with former Ohio State running back Eddie George.
The Heisman Trophy winner has been keeping tabs on the Buckeyes and is already impressed with the job new head coach Urban Meyer has done since taking over in November.
"I think he's doing a great job," stated George. "You can see the impact he's having right now in recruiting. He's getting all the top 5 recruits to Ohio State, even though they were committed to some schools. They are de-committing and coming to Ohio State. I think it speaks volumes for his reputation and his ability to recruit and hopefully he can get them in there, coach them up and starting winning national championships."
Meyer's first recruiting class included eight players who initially had said they were attending another school, including four who originally said they were going to Penn State and one each who had declared they would go to Michigan State and Wisconsin.
Coaches from Michigan State and Wisconsin have publicly questioned the Buckeyes' recruiting practices.
