Negative Recruiting Tactics and Silent Verbals (split then merged)

I admit that I came out of left field on my predicitions, and they do tend to go against the "intel" that we have received. However, JT has a track record of failing to close on OOS recruits, and I see the same pattern recurring again this season - Ohio State jumps out to an early (and often big) lead, then the negative recruiters start chipping away, and finally the kid ends up elsewhere, while JT and staff (and the "insiders" with access to the same) remain confident throughout and rely on the recruit's early "silent verbal".

Ohio State supposedly has/had silents from 8 or 10 uncommitted players - let's see how many actually end up at Ohio State. I'll say two or three.

Nice call LJB.
