This is a HUGE offer, and an offer that should've happened a long time ago! McMullen is a stud, best WR in OH and top 10 WR overall. He and Harrison would be arguably the top WR class in CFB

Is McMiullen Jr. not even being looked at by OSU? 5 star composite on 247 from OH?

He is. Per a few guys in this thread, we have a ways to go on both sides.

Camped this summer. Got an offer, but down the board. OSU *could* land him, but seems likely that other schools (LSU, ND) will value him more than OSU and give him higher financial offers.

The days of the "hometown discount" are over. OSU has stated they will pay big money for 1 WR, NOT 2, and it doesn't matter where you're from. OSU in 2028 got their #1 WR in Harrison, so they don't care if they miss out on McMullen, and they're not getting into a bidding war. The only way that would change is if Harrison were to decommit. And idk if anyone wants that to happen

Has anyone else noticed that Cincinnati schools are producing more, and better recruits than Cleveland (and nearby environs), and certainly more than Columbus? And drilling a bit deeper, more recruits from Watterson than the entirety of the Columbus Public Schools? (Could add DeSales in there as well). What sort of secret sauce does Cincy have?

TBH, Cincinnati has always had talent, but OSU hasn't always ventured into Cincinnati. Tressel was known to hardly ever recruit the 513, and Urban and now Day have done their best to close the gap and mend(or even create) the relationships. And there is the issue that many in Cincinnati don't feel like their part of the state, and act like CIncy is part of KY, or aren't big fans of OSU. I'd say ND, UC, UK and Louisville all have just as big of a following down here. There's certainly a little brother mentality down here in regards to the rest of the state. I always joke that you don't enter OH truly until you to Dayton
But the GCL schools(Moeller, St. X, Elder and Lasalle), Princeton, Wyoming, the Lakotas, Anderson and Winton Woods are all serious contenders for state titles in their divisions. But NIL will be thorn in the side, and this is the case throughout the country. Kids aren't staying home just to go to the hometown school(case in point: Mr. McMullen). But on the bright side, its worked in OSU's favor with a number of southern recruits.
