2020 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

THE HURRY UP: OHIO STATE REACHES OUT TO 2020 RUNNING BACK HENRY PARRISH

HENRY PARRISH CONTACTED BY OHIO STATE

Three-star 2020 running back Henry Parrish is committed to Pitt, but that commitment is far from solid, even though he told 247Sports Friday nothing about his commitment has changed.

The No. 63 running back in the class is hoping to visit South Carolina, who extended him an offer in July. South Carolina running back coach Thomas Brown, who I discussed earlier this week as a rising star among assistant coaches, has been in contact with Parrish since Brown was at Miami.

Speaking of Miami, the Hurricanes are also growing as a contender for Parrish before signing day.

But now, Ohio State is throwing its hat into the ring, as Bill Kurelic of 247Sports reportedthat the Buckeye staff reached out to Parrish recently, expressing interest in developing a relationship.

Let’s set the record straight. Parrish is better than No. 911 in the class. There’s no question about that. His instincts as a runner are far above average, and while he doesn’t get as much separation from defenders in space as someone would like to see from a back measured at 5-foot-10, 183 pounds, he’s tough to bring to the ground. He made SportsCenter’s Top 10 with this play.

SKULL SESSION: LANE KIFFIN HAS ALREADY ACCEPTED DEFEAT, OHIO STATE'S SECRET RECRUITING WEAPON, AND BRAXTON MILLER'S SHOT AT THE BROWNS ROSTER

THE SECRET WEAPON.
The recruiting prowesses (hell yeah that's a real word) of folks like Mark Pantoni, Ryan Day, Brian Hartline and Jeff Hafley are well known and documented, but Ohio State's got a secret weapon on the recruiting frontlines.

26-year-old Tori Magers has been working with the Buckeye football team since her freshman year of college working as an assistant to Pantoni. A few years later, she's directing all on-campus recruiting efforts.

So basically, when kids come to campus, she's in charge of making sure they love it.

From Kyle Rowland of the Toledo Blade:

“Today with everything that goes on in recruiting, she’s become a jack of all trades,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day told The Blade. “One of the things she does a great job at is relating to recruits, but also event management. She plans all of our recruiting events and dinners. There’s so much that goes into it, and she makes sure it runs smoothly. Anytime a recruit commits, she’s one of the first people we congratulate, because she has such a huge impact on those guys.”

...

Members of Urban Meyer’s newly-hired staff quickly realized the she wasn’t just some college girl working for a paycheck. Mr. Pantoni, especially, saw the potential. Ms. Magers was a grinder who did all the little things without a single complaint. It didn’t hurt that her bubbly personality and humor drew laughs from coaches.

“Very organized,” Mr. Pantoni said, describing her traits. “It takes a strong personality just because you're in a building with mostly all males. It’s long days and long weekends. She’s able to interact really well with all the coaches and staff. She’s very witty and can think on the fly. Nothing ever goes as organized, so the ability to adjust is good and she’s great at that. She has a great personality and does a great job with the kids and their families when they’re on campus.”

I doubt she's going to find her name on the 247Sports Recruiter Rankings anytime soon, but remember her when the Buckeyes inevitably sign another top-5 recruiting class.

The Lettermen row article about recruiting Cincinnati is pretty interesting. I knew Cincinnati hasn't always produced players to Ohio State for whatever reason, but I wouldn't have guessed that Tressel only signed 7 players from there during his entire tenure.

That's what it honestly felt like... I recall so many Cincinnati area kids not coming to OSU during Tressel/UFM tenures. I've never understood that even with the catholic pull of ND and Boston College.
