Some notes regarding Carter and recruiting from Birm Spencer:

Bringing this thread back because it's the best place to say when a player like Jarquez Carter flashes early, often and consistently it sheds some light on why Ohio State maybe wasn't willing to go into seven figures for a player like Deuce Geralds. There's not much difference in the two and Carter is putting himself into "must play, will play, will need major raise in December" territory and that was obvious over the summer for the powers that be.

It's also a reminder that the Ohio State scouting department is the best in the country at what it does because those folks saw Carter as a top-tier player and he was ranked outside the top 200 in the Rivals Industry Rank because ESPN and 247 did not even rank him. On3 had him at 169 overall. Rivals had him at 83

Which is why "pay this guy what he wants" is not the answer for every recruit. Ohio State knows what its doing!
