Is it logical to think that with all the high quality talent being brought in that the trend of guys being "over-recruited', passed by more talented young players coming in will slow?
I feel bad for the kids who end up leaving because they get passed by a more talented player.

I, for one hope it doesn't slow. This is what happens when you sign to go to a college and want to be elite at an elite college. It sucks that they're kids, but in essence they're not really kids anymore in this day and age. These "kids" have more power than most adults, in how they bring millions of dollars to institutions. I do feel bad for the kids having to leave, as I wouldn't want my son to be in that position, but I'd have a long, hard talk with him before he signed with a school as big as OSU. If he's not ready to perform and be in an immense spotlight, and possibly never play a down, and possibly may lose his spot to a younger player who the staff deems as more talented, than OSU(or any major football school) is not the school for you, but there are plenty of other colleges that will pay your way if you want to see the field.
It sucks, but CFB is, and now forever will be a major business entity. It's just that the employees won't get paid(that's for another discussion).

I like Robinson personally...I think he could be a star here. Notwithstanding that it seems Martin did not visit, my preference is Robinson.

You know what? Chicken butt.
I totally understand this. And I totally understand that's the risk of signing with the best of the best. Coached by the best of the best. It's just part of it. Got game?

OHIO STATE'S TOP FIVE MOST IMPORTANT COMMITMENTS OF THE 2017 CLASS
Just over one week away from National Signing Day, Ohio State's historic recruiting haul is nearly complete.
The Buckeyes are bringing in more five-star commits in the 2017 class than all of Urban Meyer's previous Ohio State classes combined. Of the team's 19 total commits, 14 are ranked in the top five of their position group and 18 are in the top 20.
The class is obviously loaded with top talent at nearly every position. Deciding who is the most talented of the group is more difficult than splitting hairs. Instead, we ranked the recruits not necessarily based on talent, but by importance, based on team needs – both immediate and going forward – as well as position depth.
1. KENDALL SHEFFIELD – CORNERBACK
For the second straight season, Ohio State has to replace three players in the secondary after yet another exodus of talent. The Buckeyes lost Gareon Conley and Marshon Lattimore to the NFL Draft and need two new corners to replace them – Kendall Sheffield will likely be one of them.
Sheffield is the nation's top junior college cornerback and fifth-ranked junior college player in the country. He transferred from Alabama after redshirting his freshman season, presumably to see more early playing time, and spent last season at Blinn College in Brenham, Texas. Sheffield is coming to Ohio State intent on starting right away, and the Buckeyes will need him.
2. TREVON GRIMES – WIDE RECEIVER
Zone-6 was undeniably Ohio State's most underperforming unit in 2016 and to make matters worse, the Buckeyes lost their two most productive receivers as Noah Brown and Curtis Samuel declared for the NFL Draft. Ohio State desperately needs help at the wide receiver position, and it's getting it in the form of five-star receiver Trevon Grimes.
At 6-3, he is one of Ohio State's biggest and tallest receivers with just Binjimen Victor (6-4) and fellow 2017 commit Jaylen Harris (6-5) standing taller. Of that group, Grimes is the quickest and most athletic.
Grimes is not, however, just a freak athlete without a true position; he's a polished receiver. He's a solid route runner, knows how to use his hands to create separation and played against elite competition throughout his high school career at St. Thomas Aquinas.
Though he's still rehabbing a torn ACL, expect Grimes to see the field early his freshman year.

I can't argue with that list. My top 5 right now would be:
1. Sheffield
2. Okudah
3. Grimes
4. Davis
5. Browning
But I'm okay with Haubeil on that list. I'm okay with White on that list. I would be okay with Wade, Young, Garrett or Dobbins on that list. It's tough to pick just five.

Um, lets hope not. We don't aim for strictly hype in Columbus.

Haubeil will be on the team this fall. "Grey shirt" simply means delaying going on scholarship for a semester, either by delaying enrollment or paying your own way for the first semester. Blake is taking the latter option.
