Another very good 11W (written by Ramzy Nasrallah) article.....

Always good to kick the tires on the recruiting classes. Another exceptional job done. Hopefully all the flowery talk will readily translate to the field for these guys, Buckeye Nation wants it so. Given our last minute recruiting losses, can envision the rest of the college world, looking around late in the process, and gazing at tOSU's verbal commitment list. Knowing that our NIL process/reach/pockets/philosophy being what it is, the competition looks and tries/succeeds in buying off some of the players they feel they need to complete their class(s). Cannot really blame the kids, in any way shape or form. Regarding Raiola, quoting Kevin Costner in "Draft Day", his phrase, 'I think he's a bust' stands out. Seems like the biggest misses are the OL, but Day doesn't seem to emphasize that aspect much. Hopefully he can hire a OC/play caller, and not piss Hartline off. Maybe if he phrases it as 'Brian, we're going to get you some OC training' or somesuch. Go Bucks!

One of these schools is not like the others …

It’s odd to me that recruiting has been laid out as the main issue when other staffers I can think of haven’t exactly hit home runs on the trail either, yet they’re currently still here.

This is directed at their whole 25 and 26 classes together as I expect penalties, but what do I know.

I suspect there will still be guys that don't care and sign. I mean, didn't Ped St still field recruiting classes during the Sandusky scandal?

Six former Ohio State football players are on the initial rosters for the United Football League.

The UFL held its initial player dispersal draft on Friday, allowing each of the eight teams in the new spring league for professional football – resulting from the merger of the XFL and the USFL – to protect 42 players from their 2023 rosters while adding up to 20 players from the rosters of teams within their previous league that will not be a part of the new league.
The initial rosters selected by each team in that draft were announced Monday, and those rosters include six former Ohio State football players:

• CB Cameron Brown, Arlington Renegades
• TE Marcus Baugh, Birmingham Stallions
• WR Binjimen Victor, Birmingham Stallions
• CB Gareon Conley, D.C. Defenders
• DT Taron Vincent, San Antonio Brahmas
• DT Antwuan Jackson, St. Louis Battlehawks

Could've survived the shooting woes if not for having 10 more turnovers than IU. Roddy Gayle had more turnovers than IU.

Just an awful night for the kid - couldn't make a shot or handle the ball. Hope he can bounce back in the next game.

Gayle's play overall was terrible, but he is way too sloppy with the ball. He's a great player but that's one thing he could really improve on. Turnovers were a problem in general and really unforced for the most part.

Signed with the Atlanta Falcons

“It’s a dry heat” lol. I acclimatized pretty quickly. I was there 07-11, and the nightlife was awesome. The hotter the weather the fewer the clothes. I found being stationed in Tampa to be more uncomfortable with the heat to be honest.

Asking here, not questioning your opinion(because I partially agree with you): but is the issues in DL recruiting due to LJsr or issues with the OSU collectives? Because with NIL I see honestly less fault in coaches for losing top recruits, but put more emphasis on the NIL’s for OSU not willing to be aggressive enough in their fund raising
IDK, I could be wrong

Click to expand...

It's probably a little of both, but NIL is what it is.
What i see is a lot of schools negatively recruiting LJ -- and successfully.
Not everyone takes the biggest bag; it's just part of the equation. But if you aren't the top bidder AND you have an unstable situation, that's going to be pain.
It doesn't even matter if the situation isn't actually unstable either -- if everyone believes it is. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
Throw in the disagreements with Knowles, and i think it's time to find a plan and move on. A plan that the staff can point to and dispel the negative recruiting.
That at least puts us back on track with kids and families who are open to taking less NIL for the right opportunity in a stable environment.
