2024 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

The Ohio State Buckeyes had 22 commits in that class, and it was ranked as the fourth-best class in the country. Of those 22 commits, 11 of them have now left the program. Half of that class is gone, which means that Ryan Day needs to take a look at his talent evaluation.
You need only a top 5 at every position instead of a top 50 previously. Much leaner classes. And I wouldn't even put any stock rankings. Just personnel needs. And if that kid can play by year 2 at the latest

WR Quincy Porter (transfer to ???)

UT let him go because they got Coleman.
And I haven’t even seen scUM fans bring up Porter since his visit yesterday. I don’t think he’s still considering them. Though things could change
In other words, was with the program for a year, staff evaluated him, and did not consider him a must keep. I am sure very talented though.

I just read that on an Oregon breakdown:

Indiana's offensive tackle rotation in late 2025 and early 2026 featured
Carter Smith as the primary left tackle, with strong competition at right tackle between Kahlil Benson and Zen Michalski, supported by other depth players like Adedamola Ajani and Benson's rotational use, highlighting a talented but shifting unit known for good run-blocking. Benson secured the starting RT job, with Michalski as backup, though Ajani's versatility on the right side (guard/tackle) added complexity and quality depth

LB Marcus Freeman (HC Notre Dame, Constant Backtracker)

FWIW, Marcus Freeman's son Vinny must be a pretty good athlete too. He committed to go to Cornell to wrestle:

He must have committed for the 2026/2027 school year as he is still in high school now:
