I think it’s more of you signed a 1 year contract so you can play for us or you can play for no one.

Yep it's essentially enforcing a contract and someone has to see if they are enforceable or not. It maybe they can't keep or nor would want to but they want to know if there is at least a financial penalty for breaking contract or is full on wild west.

IF that's what the contract actually said.

But who's going to put that kind of strict language in an NIL contract when no one else is doing it? You are the first mover on that particular effort and you won't get anyone to sign (that has options).

The full list:

Ohio State portal entries so far, with 9 Days left in the portal:
- QB Lincoln Keinholz
- RB James Peoples
- RB Sam Williams Dixon
- WR Quincy Porter
- WR Mylan Graham
- WR Bryson Rodgers
- WR Damarion Witten
- TE Jaleni Thurman
- IOL Tegra Tshabola
- IOL Jayvon McFadden
- OT Justin Terry
- OT Devontae Armstrong
- OT Isaiah Kema

- DE CJ Hicks
- DE Logan George
- DE Dominic Kirks
- DT Maxwell Roy
- CB Bryce West
- CB Aaron Scott
- K Jackson Courville
- P Nick Mclarty

Only a couple of them kinda hurt (Scott, maybe West), the rest of them are either projects that didn't pan out (Armstrong, Williams-Dixon), longtime backups who have been recruited over (Keinholz, Thurman), highly rated guys who didn't work out for whatever reason (Hicks, Graham, Rodgers) or guys who didn't have a real shot at playing anytime soon.

Does it suck for depth? Certainly. Will depth be replaced? Almost certainly.

It's still Ohio State. It's still the elite of the elite. If I had to pick someone who won't stand pat, it's likely going to be the group that is winning nearly at a near 90% rate.

There's something to be said for having 2nd and 3rd string dudes who WANT to be here vs. guys who aren't playing and not happy with being here.

Saw 247 has DJ Lagway rated as the 15th best transfer and had a good laugh.

Update on the tally. 19 players gone that were big time recruits.

Yeah, but if they could magically make him stay, and his response to that is to be a pouty bitch ....what NFL team wants that?

Aaron Rodger has been a pouty bitch his entire life, his NFL career will take him to the HOF. If you’re good enough, teams won’t care
