2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Does anyone who follows recruiting know if Ohio State has looked at Roman Combs out of Lakota West? He's a huge DB/Ath who I saw get 2 interceptions against St. X in week 1 and either an int or fumble return for a 48 yard touchdown against Lakota East in week 2. Not sure what he did tonight, but they got another win.

He was the difference in Lakota West defeating Princeton in last year's basketball matchup, despite all the more hyped-up blue chip prospects in that game. I think he was suspended for the basketball playoffs due to something with his transfer (maybe from the Louisville area?), and who knows if Princeton wins the state title if Combs is back on the court for Lakota West in the playoffs.

I know he is currently committed to Purdue for football (over offers from Indiana, Penn State, Iowa, Illinois), but man, with those ball skills at 6'4" and about 200 lbs, he is a nice looking prospect, and a winner. Just wondering if those who actually follow recruiting have heard anything.
Too put it plainly, hes not good enough at this time for OSU compared to the DBs they have coming in. Hes listed as a CB, but I think he eventually moves to S. But if he stays at CB, Malone is faster and more athletic and Carey has the tools to turn into a shutdown CB and also is faster and plays against the best competition in the country every week. TBH, Eli Johnson is a better version of Combs. They’re 1in apart in height, but same weight. Johnson plays in TX 5A, so he plays some top competition each week and also is known for his closing speed and ball skills but at a better level.

But odds are the Ball State punt doesn't end up at the one if he's punting from 9 yards further away. I'm not really sweating it because I want to see what the kid can do and it's Ball State, but it shows a lack of discipline from a kid who's already had some sort of minor issue that kept him out of a few practices.

Also Legend, probably.

Sorry, can’t help myself. :lol:

Field position wasn't the issue last drive. It was the connections with the QB and receivers, which will come with time.
