Ohio State Football Recruiting: 5 Things Missing from the Buckeyes' 2012 Class

Since Urban Meyer's announcement that he'd be the next football coach at Ohio State, the Buckeyes' recruiting success has dramatically improved.

In less than two months, OSU has gone from unranked in the ESPN Class of 2012 Team Football Recruiting Rankings to No. 8 overall, above schools such as Oklahoma, Miami (Fla.) and LSU.

A lot has to do with the signings of top prospects Noah Spence, Adolphus Washington, Se'Von Pittman and Joey O'Connor, who all are listed in ESPNU's Top 150.

"I want to do it right. I want a hurricane to hit when we hit," said Meyer, according to Cleveland.com.

So far, that statement is quite fitting for the Buckeyes' outstanding recruiting class. Still, there is much more work to be done, as there are numerous top athletes yet to be signed.

Here are the five players missing from Ohio State's 2012 Class.
