Don't understand the animosity there.

It's a stone cold fact... Ohio State has a major advantage being able to let their head coach and assistants loose around the country to visit these kids for an entire week while Alabama's coaches are stuck on campus getting ready for one last big game. Browning's committment only cements that sentiment... no scarlet hued glasses needed.

Like MDBuck said... blessing in disguise not having to play in the B1G championship game
I think Browning's commitment has more to do with his relationship with the coaches(and LB numbers) and not how many coaches showed up. I agree that not having a B1G championship can help, so can playing in a CCG and being the #1 team in the nation. It recruits itself, look at our 2017 class.

Nothing could have powered recruiting this cycle better than the 2016 NFL Draft; having rookie Buckeyes in contention for DROY, OROY, and MVP #developedhere. 5* kids want to get to the NFL and be stars. Nobody can sell that better on the recruiting trail than this coaching staff right now. Not even Bama.
Another thing that draws recruits is NCs... And Bama has that in abundance. And that's why I'm always wary of them, no matter how many committed kids they have at the same position.

Although Alabama "leads" us in both Rivals and Scout rankings, we significantly lead everyone in star average. We average 4.31 stars per recruiting on Scout (next closest is #4 Georgia with a 3.94 average), and we average 4.19 star recruit on Rivals (next is #2 Alabama with an even 4 star average). The only reason that Alabama is ahead of us is that they have seven more commits...

Exactly. Whether a service wants to call Ohio State's class #1, #2 or #3 even, I wouldn't trade it for anyone else's.

Taking another look that number for the current roster should be 4 since Gibson is not on it (but I assume he will return). Of those four only one (Hubbard) is a starter. Two (Bosa and McLaurin) are playing regularly and one (Pridgeon) has not played at all.

Looking at 247, this is just ugly for the rest of the B1G

Based on their scoring Ohio State is 60! points ahead of scUM, 91 points of 3rd place Maryland and then basically 100 points+ ahead of everyone else.

Ohio State and Bama are just recruiting at levels ahead of everyone as well, Georgia sort of closes the gap being within basically 20 of both, but then the next (Oklahoma) is 40+ points behind

Coomes is nuclear. Always full tilt.
Funny thing is, until he ran out, he was calm as all heck! Calm to the point that I had to show my barber a video of him getting extra hype with the DBs. He's a different guy when he's not in the football realm, and when almost know one knows him. Not a single guy other than the owner who was cutting his hair and me knew coach. They thought he was a crazy looking white guy, lol
