Well, we thought that the first commit of the 2012 class would trigger at least another commit shortly after...and it did. Welcome Cincinnati, OH offensive lineman Caleb Stacey.
Scout: NR OG
Rivals: NR OL
ESPN: NR OG
It's early in the recruiting season, so the absence of guru ratings is normal, especially for an offensive lineman. All 3 services seem to agree on his size, which is nice, listing him about 6-3 or 6-4 and about 280 pounds. Expect those numbers to increase during after his redshirt year.
I'm really happy we're seeing an emphasis on offensive recruiting in the 2012 class. It's clear that this coaching staff is looking at the class chart and seeing a need for OL talent in a couple seasons. It seems as if we've nailed down another strong OL commit along with last week's commit Ben Braden.
Other offers for Caleb include BC, Bowling Green, Cincy, Illinois, Indiana, Miami (OH), NC State, Ohio, South Florida, Toledo, Wake Forest, West Virginia.
This is a good sign to see another OL so early in the class. It shows where the coaching staff has their priorities set. Like we said last week, I expected about 4 OL taken in this class...but two commits this early could mean maybe as many as 5 or 6...which would be nice.
