I honestly wouldn't even want OSU to over bid for Derrick Henry either. Like @jwinslow said:
You can still find very good RBs that can win you an NC in the Portal, and heck, OSU has about 6 RBs to choose from
Have you actually met any UT fans ?Concerning UT:
The market just told them that their product, head to head with OSU, has to pay a 100% premium to overcome it's deficiencies.
Swap places and just imagine we found that out at OSU (shudder).
How many victory laps are you taking when you know your program is so middle of the pack it would have to pay double to get elite players away from competitors? How could you ever hope to actually compete at the highest level under that kind of a handicap?
I honestly wouldn't even want OSU to over bid for Derrick Henry either. Like @jwinslow said:Exactly, what Tennessee is doing in these situations goes far beyond just simply "outbidding". Ohio State would basically have to come close to probably tripling what was already a pretty good offer in terms of market value to be able to possibly win this one. That then sets a precedent for players already on the roster and future recruits we may go after.
DGG is not Derek Henry who a lot consider to be the greatest HS RB of all time. He's a good prospect but he's not so undisputed generational freak at the position.

Cubs have a horseshoe up their ass the last month or so.

I’m seeing a lot of discourse and complaining in Ohio State circles about whether we will be “outbid” for a player or not.
First, do we really want to walk down the “locker-room-chemistry-disrupting” road where unproven high schoolers are making significantly more than current starters on the roster? I personally do not.
Second, the Legend Bey situation highlighted pretty clearly that Tennessee also (illegally) throws money and benefits at the family of players in these recruitments, which is something Ohio State isn’t going to do.
I mean, can we take a moment to remember how insane the Legend Bey situation was from just a few months ago?
Tennessee makes things stupid. You just have to shrug and move on. With the transfer portal and the nature (easy to plug and play without much lead time) of running back in mind, Ohio State will be fine at the position.

Only if Bijan is either:B. Robinson may have been the difference in 22 and 23. That loss was actually felt.
Probably going to be a similar result as when Bijan went to 2 Texas for DGG at Tennessee
Texas was 13-12 in the 2 non-COVID seasons they had with Bijan. And Bijan was pretty good in both of those seasons.
Our overall RB situation though is currently better than it was back then I'd say.
I've never gotten the "generational" talk some seem to tag DGG with. He's not even the #1 RB in his own class, or a top 5 player overall. I think to even be considered "generational" it starts with you being the #1 overall player in your own HS class.

cough cough David SandersIt's not "known known for sure" but we've seen how Tennessee will pretty much go over the top and do anything to get a single recruit they have zeroed in on. Desperate programs do desperate program things and there's no need for Ohio State to play that game.
My point was that Robinson won little at Tejas and OSU still won an NC with Henderson who arrived the year after him. And getting Robinson would mean OSU wouldn't have gotten Henderson.B. Robinson may have been the difference in 22 and 23. That loss was actually felt.
