Agreed. Though Birm has stated from the get go that it would be an either/or scenario with those 2 and SWD was always set to be RB2. But with him saying that SWD could be viewed as an ATH, a 3rd RB could be in play
After 2023, OSU loses Henderson and Williams(I'm assuming the NFL calls both)

Couple of thoughts for me. The fact that UGa spends so much on recruiting has to mean that they are dropping crazy amounts of money during official visits. The fact that almost their entire class is within a few hundred miles or a quick flight (benefit of flying out of Hartsfield-Jackson is almost every flight is direct), means airfare has to be a much lower cost than most other programs. Like when uMiami barely left south Florida to recruit.Interesting stats:

Big Ten
It's little surprise that Jim Harbaugh puts so much emphasis on recruiting at Michigan, which has helped spur back-to-back Big Ten championships. From a results perspective, though, Ohio State might have the most efficient recruiting process in the country. The Buckeyes were 21st in spending over the past five years and have numerous top-five classes with recruits from around the country to show for it.

Elsewhere, it's easy to see why Wisconsin felt it had to go in a new direction. The Badgers had the lowest recruiting spending in the nation under Paul Chryst over the past five seasons, ranking as the only team to average fewer than $400,000 per season in spending. Expect that number to balloon past $1 million with Luke Fickell now taking the program into the 21st Century.

1. Surprised to see Ohio State is just #5 in the B!G.
2. UGA, aTm, Tennessee, Alabama, Clemson, Texas, Okie, and scuM sure went all in.
I'm guessing personnel is rolled into that number. Could be their recruiting staff room is enormous.
To be fair, 1MM of that scUM average expenditure was on a tard wrangler.So tsun, Penn State, Rutgers, Minnesota and Nebraska all spent more for recruiting over those 6 years than OSU did?
There’s still plenty of other options if Noland doesn’t pick OSU. I still think Noland is a Buckeye in the end. But guys like Pugilisi from CT(UGA commit), Van Buren from MD, O’Connell from IN(CU commit), and I’m sure names that I’m not privy to. But I’m not worried about last minute freak outs, these sites have subs to sell.
