How are these 16-17 year old HS kids getting sleeve tattoos?

Either of Curtis or Smigiel would make me very happy at QB for '26, though Smigiel seems more likely at this point.

My worry, is that bringing in Curtis or Smigel is like wasting a schollie, because Idk if either comes in wanting to sit for at least 2yrds. If Sayin wins the job this season, then he has the job in '25 and '26. After that, there will be a competition, but let's be honest, TSC will have a bulk of the reps, and he will be quite favored(I'd see a 60-40 rep breakdown). I don't think either '26 QB being fine with sitting for almost 4yrs before playing when most programs who have offered them would play them by year 2.
This is similar to the WR situation, there's a problem in having too much talent. Players will hit the Portal. The 2021 WR class had 1 guy who was a generational talent, and another who was one of the best WRs in OSU history, 2022 couldn't see the field even when they had a year in college. And then when the 2023 WR class hit the campus, they were so good that they nullified the entire 2022 class. When JJ SMith hit college(along with Graham), he forced the rest of the 2022 class out of OSU. There's so much talent in the WR room, that HS WRs are looking elsewhere because they know they can't crack the 2 deep for 2-3yrs. That would happen to the QBs, IMO. Sayin was the #1 QB in '24, TSC was a top 2 in '25, and then there's Edmunds in '27 who's currently the #2 QB. That's a TON of talent! And no matter how confident a player is, realism has to set in. Give me the Moeller kid(if he chooses football), Nathan Bernhard, or a MW kid who's fine with being a depth piece. I'd be fine if that kid is even alright with leaving as an upperclassmen. But I just don't see any of the high ranked QBs choosing OSU in 2026.

Sorry for the long post

I'd get a top shelf recruit for this cycle just in case something happens with the other two. Odds are the '26 guy leaves but in the meantime you give yourself an out should disaster strike and both Sayin/TSC don't pan out, get injured, get poached etc.

From a talent acquisition perspective, it only costs you 1 year of whatever the NIL market wage is. Kind of like a 1 year deal in pro sports. It won't hurt you long term if they leave.

I hear you, but my worry is that players are looking at the talent on the roster and other schools, you know are going to use it against OSU as well. As much as I'd like to see OSU get a top talent in '26, I don't think they will end up choosing OSU because of what they know is currently there

You could sell the Joe Burrow approach.

Even a year on the roster, learning under Day improves your stock for the transfer.
