Yeah I'm perfectly good with Bowen's approach recruiting at OL. We're casting a wider net and not botching the national recruiting, but I do hope we start doing better at getting worthwhile OL portal targets. Really like this offer, hopefully the offer puts us in the thick of his recruitment.

Stack up enough OL cordwood, and in two-three years, hopefully someone stands out. Not a terribly unique plan, and when it works, great. When it doesn't, need a QB that can scramble. Also seems like the apparent OL studs visit tOSU, hear their pitch, and compare with what other schools have (to give?), and go elsewhere. Just may be me, but don't see the best OL guys in the portal, and if are, don't sign with tOSU.

Its all relative, in what deems is the "best OL guys in the Portal". Guys like Josh Simmons, Philip Daniels and Seth McLaughlin weren't considered the best in their Portal classes, but they worked out great for the Buckeyes. And the best guys are relative to the needs, because none of the sites know how to rank transfers. And they're left ranking them based off either what they just did at a school or what their HS ranking was. Of all position groups, OL is the biggest crapshoot of them all, in the Portal and with HS recruits

True dat. Everyone's crystal ball works better with hindsight. The future is harder to predict. Measuring heart in a player is also a hard thing to do, but may ultimately be the key to production. And yeah, also believe that tOSU has had a higher percentage of 'hits' than 'misses'.
