Drew Richmond (OL Tennessee Volunteers, transfer to ???)

Far from over.....
Yup especially if you read this article where he says that he will still make all of his visits and that he loves Ohio State

From the article above
"Ohio State was always No. 1," Richmond said during the press conference, one that was streamed live on an ESPN RecruitingNation webcast. "No matter what, I'll always be a Buckeye at heart."

Ohio State isn't dead.

Though the 6-foot-5, 323-pound prospect has ended his recruitment, he said he still plans to take all five of his official visits. That means Ohio State coach Urban Meyer will get the chance to host Richmond, giving the Buckeyes another platform to try to flip the Rebels commitment.

"Anything can happen," Richmond said. "I just want to make sure Ole Miss is the right place for me."

Bob Hunter commentary | Rumblings: Recruit chooses Ole Miss but leaves door open for Ohio State
In committing, Richmond cited the 85 miles from Memphis to Oxford, Miss., that would allow his family easier travel to games. He had been sought by almost every major school in the country, including Tennessee, UCLA and Alabama. Then he said something that amounted to a huge crack in his resolve: “Ohio State was always No. 1, and no matter what, I will always be a Buckeye at heart."

The distance is likely the biggest factor to overcome though Coach Hugh Freeze for Ole Miss is a significant factor as he already has a tremendous legacy in Memphis as a high school coach + the draw of being "the blind side" coach of Michael Oher. Hard to see him decommitting with Freeze in place and Ole Miss still playing really well.

Oher was before Freeze. That was Orgeron and/or Nutt. Looking at his wiki page he may have been on staff as TE coach, but nothing really to do with Oher. Not that I think that has much to do with his recruitment anyways.

Ole Miss better hope Freeze stays with them. UFmay make a push.Freeze ain't exactly Saban here, I think OSU stays I'm this one until NSD. I still like our coaches of a flip, no matter how slim the chance. I like our chances even more if we get into the playoff and win a game(especially if that game is over Alabama)
