I came into this visit thinking that Felix Ojo really liked Ohio State, but it wouldn’t be enough to keep him from staying home with Texas. I am coming out of this visit, feeling the same.
Ojo had a great visit, and sources inside the WHAC agreed on that. There’s no doubt his love for the program is real and that the Buckeyes are legitimately in contention to land him. That said, it just continues to feel like a bit of an uphill battle to keep him away from Austin.
I do like what Ohio State did this weekend in having fellow Texas-native Riley Pettijohn, who picked the Bucks over the Longhorns last year, spend a lot of time with Ojo. I think Tyler Bowen and Ryan Day are saying/doing all the right things. I’m just a bit skeptical that it actually leads to OSU beating out UT here.
