The five uncommitted prospects, led by safety Vonn Bell, are all rated as four-stars or better. In addition to Bell who ranks as a five-star, four-star athletes Cornelius Elder and Christopher Worley, four-star wide receiver Shelton Gibson, and four-star running back Ryan Timmons will be in Columbus.
The committed players visiting this weekend are four-star defensive end Joey Bosa, four-star tight end Marcus Baugh and two-star punter Johnny Townsend.
According to 247Sports, Ohio State currently has the No. 2-ranked recruiting class in the country, trailing only Alabama. Rivals ranks the Buckeyes at No. 3 behind Florida and Notre Dame.
Urban Meyer is trying to close out his first full year at Ohio State with a bang. He led the Buckeyes to a perfect 12-0 record in 2012, but NCAA sanctions prevented the Buckeyes from playing in the Big Ten Championship Game and, possibly, the BCS Championship Game.
