Offord not coming for Nebraska now, family going to a game involving a cousin. Seems he is looking for reasons to not come to OSU.

Wiltfong said the staff is trying to get Offord up for the Michigan game, obviously you’d want him in Columbus for that game over Nebraska. Also means he wouldn’t be going to the Iron Bowl.

Chad Simmons also posted that Offord’s plans are to now be at The Game.

watch what recruits do and not what they (or their family) say. i would be shocked if he ends up in CBus

Sorry to derail, but all the "Birm said" Twits irriate me. I mean, who needs context anyway?

I heard the podcast and it didn't sound bleak to me, it sounded like Birm drew parallels to the ND QB who just flipped to Auburn. He also said that the OSU sources aren't worried.

I mean if we want to know what Birm said, why not turn on YouTube and listen to him say stuff. It’s not like Birm is hiding from us.

Sucks but that's 'crootin for ya. A verbal commitment from a southern recruit simply means you're in their top 5

ahem

Na’eem Offord switches visit plans​

For the second time this fall, five-star OSU cornerback commit Na’eem Offord has moved around his visit plans. Per 247Sports, Offord will no longer visit for the Buckeyes’ game against Nebraska this weekend and will instead return to campus for the Nov. 30 contest against Michigan.

Offord had originally planned to visit Columbus for the Iowa game before moving the visit to the Nebraska contest, then moved that trip to late November. Assuming Offord shows up for the Michigan game this all may be much ado about nothing, but it’s hard not to raise at least a slight eyebrow considering Offord has been heavily pursued by Oregon and Auburn and has yet to make a gameday visit to OSU this season.

The Buckeyes will be in a battle until National Signing Day to retain Offord’s commitment, and OSU won’t stop trying to convince him Columbus is the best place for his development until the end.

The Hurry-Up: Five-Star 2025 Defensive Tackle Jahkeem Stewart, 2027 Quarterback Trae Taylor Plan to Visit Columbus This Weekend

Five-star 2025 defensive tackle Jahkeem Stewart and 2027 quarterback Trae Taylor will be in attendance Saturday for Ohio State's matchup against Nebraska.

Personal opinion - I would rather have him here for The Game right before early NLOID. Get that last impression during the biggest rivalry in all of sports right on the eve of his decision. Other factors are involved of course, but that should help in keeping him onboard.

The NCAA announced Wednesday that players will no longer sign an NLI when committing to a school. For decades, players have signed letters of intent during signing ceremonies at high schools across the country on National Signing Day. The NLI had been standard since 1964 and viewed as the binding agreement between schools and players. If a player wanted to go to a different school after signing an NLI, a school had to release him or her from the agreement.

Going forward, players will sign a written offer of athletics aid with their school of choice and other schools will be prohibited from recruiting players once the aid agreements are signed.
