Remaining 4-star football recruit targets for 2009 Class

Looks like we're in a tough spot for the majority of the remaining target 4-star recruits for our 2009 class.

Marcus Hall - OL - The prospect from OH recently visited tOSU and was thoroughly impressed. Ohio State might win this one.

Michael Buchanan - DE - The Illinois prospect will probably not see any more visits, he has his finalists down to Illinois, Purdue, and Vanderbilt in no particular order. Locksley was his recruiting coach, Zook took over and Buchanan thinks that its cool that the head coach is his recruiting coach.

Ronnie Wingo Jr. - RB/ATH - The star RB from Missouri recently visited Mizzou and said that his visit was perfect. Sounds like we're gonna have our hands full when he visits us in January with Nathan Scheelhaase.

Lamar Scruggs - WR/ATH - The star from Florida has Illinois in his top 3.

Five-star LB Jelani Jenkins was recruited by Coach Locksley, and I'm not sure who's taking over his recruiting. Hopefully it will be Zook and since we locked up an official visit from him in January we'll be able to show him a good time around.
