2027 TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Verbal Offer)

I can see OSU stepping back and trying to flip Jayden Miles, and if that doesn't work, then reassessing the class at the end or towards the end of the HS season. OSU has 6 RBs on schollie, so RB isn't a NEED, but if/when he chooses Tenn on Wednesday, just expect a meltdown by a number of OSU fans, and Tenn fans wanting to rub it in our faces. But tbh, they are desperate. OSU in 2027 can still have a rotation of: Jackson, West, Bey/Rogers and be a top 5 RB room in the country. In 2028, OSU could have a rotation of: West, Bey, Rogers, Akih and be fine. And I'm not even including Lock finding a transfer in each of the following seasons.

I hope DGG chooses OSU, but in the end, the program will be fine with or without him. I can remember guys like Bijan Robinson, Richard Young, and CJ Baxter being big misses at RB in their time, yet OSU was fine. And they'll be fine in this case too

RB was probably more of a real "need" for next year's class. And we already have Elijah Newman-Hall, who is a stud, on board.

Full disclosure. We don’t really know anything yet. The hype gets the headlines especially when it’s an SECSECSEC school. Stay in your shoes, especially since this won’t remotely cripple Ohio State….

It's not "known known for sure" but we've seen how Tennessee will pretty much go over the top and do anything to get a single recruit they have zeroed in on. Desperate programs do desperate program things and there's no need for Ohio State to play that game.

FIFY. Nobody that went to school or has anything better but claim to be fans while being the worst of the community.

That's naive to think the bad fans are only ones who didn't go to the school. There are bad fans who will tweet nonsense at recruits who went to Ohio State as well.

B. Robinson may have been the difference in 22 and 23. That loss was actually felt.
 

Latest prediction for David Gabriel Georges is bad news for Ohio State football fans

The Ohio State football program has been spending a lot of time trying to land the five-star running back.

For quite a while, the Buckeyes had several crystal ball predictions to land Gabriel Georges. However, the tide seems to be turning. Over the last few days, it seems that he has been leaning towards Tennessee. Now, a big expert prediction has flipped to the Volunteers.

Crystal ball prediction flips to Tennessee over Ohio State for David Gabriel Georges

According to Steve Wiltfong of Rivals, he has flipped his prediction from Ohio State to Tennessee. That's a big blow for the Ohio State Buckeyes, just two days before Gabriel Georges is set to make his decision. It means that the NIL money might have been increased by the Volunteers.

Wiltfong has heavily implied that the NIL money is the driving factor in this decision. If that is the case, the Vols could have another Chaz Coleman situation on their hands. He was the last player that they offered a bunch of NIL money to choose them over the Buckeyes, and that blew up in their face.

The gap between the two programs doesn’t appear to be about football. Ohio State has more to offer in terms of program success and NFL development. The divide, instead, likely sits on the financial front. Tennessee is willing to go significantly higher than Ohio State for a player who has never taken a college snap. The deal from Tennessee could exceed $2 million per year over three years, while Ohio State’s offer sits just above $1 million annually over the same period.

It's also naive to think that only Ohio State has fans that act like tools on social media to recruits. Not that it's ever ok, but you get this from about every major fan base.

Make a decision and go find something incredibly stupid someone who is upset by your decision inevitably says on the internet and use that stupidity to retroactively justify your decision. It works no matter what schools are involved.

I also just thought of another silver lining … at least we don’t have to light a roster spot on fire for DGG’s high school friend now.
