Funny enough, I think Tressel has missed on more in-staters this year since a year like 2003. The great thing is that it hasn't really mattered with by far the best year for the OOS recruits.

I don't think he "missed" on some of the bigger names who committed elsewhere:
McCarthy: Irish Catholic kid going to an Catholic high school selects Notre Dame, where his older brother plays...who'd thunk it?
Zordich: Penn State legacy
Beachum: Wasn't seen as worthy of an offer
These are just a couple I can think of off the top of my head...

I think that it will all work itself out with guys leaving early, and transferring...
I think that we will fit at least 6 more and maybe as many as 8...

Koger is really the only kid that I would call a miss. The kids going to ND affect Michigan more than us considering they play meshitagain every year. That Koger kid is gonna play defense at Michigan if their staff has half a brain...I know that Tress would.

Rudolph wasn't a miss because he verballed to ND so early in the process, but there is no way that we didn't want him and wouldn't have pursued him very hard had the opportunity presented itself.

I'll agree with you that "missed" might not be the right terminology. I'm only talking about the guys who did have OSU offers - McCarthy, Rudolph, Zordich, Koger, & Woods. I think that is actually more than the past few years, but this year it's easy to forget with all of the great OOS players on board.

I was speaking of "missing' out on players from Ohio that don't get to come here because of no offer because of the players we did take (OO state).
Granted I know that JT takes the players he thinks fits the best but I still wonder. Just a curiousity really.

Travis Howard's out-of-the-blue commit puts us at a 7/6 Ohio/OOS ratio.
And our next commit may even the score if Howard has his way...

Quite possible, with us being in good shape with Pryor, Sabino, Jenkins, Mobley, etc. It all depends on how many ships we'll have to give in the end.
I wonder if any Ohio State recruiting class has ever had more OOS commits than Ohio commits...

Now that you mention it, that was the 2006 class. As for "bread and butter", most of our biggest stars--at least on defense, which right now is our bread and butter--are OOS kids: Laurinaitis, Gholston, Jenkins, Russell.

What would it take for a guy to walk on at OSU as a FB? Does OSU have "tryouts" or do they send a team out to evaluate a "tryouts" ability?
