The thing with NIL is, there isn't a salary cap. He can get a "small" NIL deal and still collect say $500-1,000/mo, and have his apartment paid for, that money would be plenty for a college kid to eat from on a monthly basis, and being under 25 he can still be on his parents health benefits. And let's be honest he's not a kid coming to start or even see ST at OSU. He will be a ST player at best, and on average be a practice crash test dummy, and test his talent against some of the best.
I hear what you're saying and I'm not disagreeing, but I'm just stating that its a new day in CFB, and the finances can be worked out. The NIL $ can go to current roster players, recruiting, Portal guys and PWOs, we're talking about multiple NIL collectives funding the teams, not just one. We've seen 1 collective gain over $1mil in 24hrs, OSU isn't Little Sisters of the Poor, they can make things happen for players. And if he goes to OSU for a year or so, and decides to leave for say a MAC school, I'm sure he'll be arriving with a higher skill set than his peers

I'm predicting he ends up on scholarship barring injuries setting him back. Hell of an athlete

Age old question, do you want to ride the pine at a top-flight university, or play alot at a university that's not top-flight. With NIL, there could be a possibility of gaining some coin as a 'lesser light', but somehow believe that the coin is going to the superstars. Just look at the QB room at tOSU. We've got some/several QBs that will probably never see much more than spot play, but they're grinding every day at practice. They are building knowledge, absorbing training, etc. and hope to parlay that into a starting job somewhere else. Pennix is an absolute example. Getting beat up on Indiana's team, and all of a sudden surfacing to lead Washington to a championship game, and earning a top 5(?) QB rating has gotta be a dream come true. Anyway, not certain that I'm accurate, but would certainly be a plan for a youngster with great aspirations, but maybe not all the 5* talent.

Marquise Davis:
- Likely won’t visit in the spring now.
- ScUM was already in a position to get wrestle him away, and Alford leaving up north will only help them more.

Davison:
- Been in the works for a year to get him on campus
- Hasn’t spoken with Day, but has spoken with the staff. Would like Day to hire someone he has a relationship with.

Day:
- Will be the one trying to keep the RB recruits in place during this time
- Has to now split duties if handing off the playbook, onboarding new coaches, making a new hire, and continue to recruit the RBs.

IMO, I think OSU loses Davis to scUM. But I think if OSU can land Gillespie, they can sign both Davidson and Jackson.

I agree. If Alford didn’t leave (or at least didn’t leave to scum) we could have landed both Davis and Davidson. Really sucks to lose an Ohio kid, but Day only has so much time to recruit.

If it comes down to having to put more effort into landing Davis (and still lose out) and lose out on Davison, then you just back off on Davis and put your efforts into Davison and Jackson. Likely a better ROI with the staffs time.

Don't really see Day hiring a coach to get one kid. The above posts kinda make it sound like (with the RB room tOSU has now), to follow a path of hiring a good-to-great coach, that's a better-to-great recruiter, and settle him in and punch forward to 2025-6. It's what I would do. Don't know how long the Bama RB coach has been there, but Bama has had some very good RBs. DeBoer (at Fresno St and Washington), leaned toward the airways rather than the fairways.

if day hires someone who lands his targeted Rbs more often than every 3 years, it will be a significant change.

the next coach might let Hayden carry the football. still struggle wondering If they beat Michigan with a different running back rotation n 2022

it's the easiest position to recruit, develop and play early, in the lineage at the school is tremendous yet there were a ton of strikeouts.

when you're deploying an offensive tackle being somewhat good is a big liability

being a somewhat good running back is still very useful, yet they had trouble securing and developing those.

Kevin Noon brought up a good point on BH about the new OH 7v7 ruling. OH would be wise to run some events of their own during the summer. They would need to be starting around Memorial day because of OH's unpredictable weather, but it'd be pretty cool to have an event besides the OSU one in June at a college site like Capital or Ohio Dominican, or even at a HS like Upper Arlington. Rivals has 2 camps within an hour of major universities(Miami and USC)
