"We're sad today because the State of Indiana has now allowed high school athletes to receive NIL. This gives Curt Cignetti the same advantage that Ohio State has in recruiting."

I don't understand why - I suppose some players transitioning from high school to college would like to stay closer to home, and "home" is more likely to be in Indiana if they could get paid in Indiana. But what is the number of in-state players Ohio State has? I suppose I could look that up. But, say you're a high school player looking at multiple offers for college. Do you give Indiana any edge, based on whether their high school players can get NIL money?
I can see how this keeps in-state high school players from moving across state lines to get paid, depending on circumstances. but are 4- and 5-star players more likely to go to Indiana or Ohio State, or avoid going to Penn State, based on this?

Agreed. I have never seen a video like that. All those calls and moves and they almost run out of time to submit the pick but still get it in. Good stuff!

Reminiscent of the movie Draft Day. Crazy how accurate it is watching a clip like this from the Cowboys, seeing elite teams fighting over your talent.

Speaks volumes for Downs and Ohio State as a program. They even mentioned how there’s not a whole lot of blue-chip defensive players because they all went top 15.

They don't have to. They won't.
"We've already hammered them. That's done. Let's consider punishing New Mexico State - I hear that one of their coaches texted a guy in M*ch*gan who considered going to UM."

Cincy boy done good

We wish him well in all his future endeavors.

I’m left feeling the same way I always do after a Bengals draft.
They picked players for positions of need. I just have to assume none of them are any good.

It’s the Bengal way. The other is to pick someone with real talent and the haggle with them until they fight to leave.

I was thinking based on the roster this should be a top-25, Sweet 16 type of team. Seems one of the analytics guys backs that up. Overall, it will heavily depend on how well Anthony Thompson can come in and be the man.

I do like the make-up of this team more than others in the Diebler era.
My critique of previous Diebler teams is that he valued shooting/scoring more than defense/rebounding/athleticism.
This squad seems more balanced.

If Thompson plays like a one-and-done lottery pick, this will be a fun team to watch.

Earlier today, Warren G. Harding held a Football Showcase in front of numerous college coaches.

As a result of Burch’s efforts, he collected offers from Iowa State, Toledo, Bowling Green, & Brown.

According to Juck at BH, the Feisters are leaning towards Oregon and USC. Those 2 have made them both a massive priority, and it doesn't seem like JL thinks Brayton is a fit for the defense. Which means that Brydon is also looking at Oregon and USC

Twitter article stated Brayton had officials set up with Oregon and Georgia. USC was not mentioned. Visits to Auburn, Ol Miss and Notre Dame would put them in play but looks like USC is out.
