Certainly not the one on the road with the recruits, but would expect that the coaches listen to what the recruits want to play. Then maybe patiently explain that there's 12 CBs committed/on roster, but only 2 Ss, and having said that, you can line up wherever. IF the kid is upper echelon. If not, then they may be more forceful, and it the recruit walks, so be it. But a kid like JT, you can line up wherever you want. Trusting that the recruit will look at the talent in front of him, and move to 'the' position, where's there's less bodies taking reps. It all seems to work out, and tOSU coachs seem to 'walk away' from a recruit who is pretty hardline about where he wants to play, if it isn't where the Buckeye coaches envision. Most of the time the coaches are right, sometimes not. A miss was when tOSU wanted Ben Rothlisberger to play TE. The rest is history.
