2021 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Ohio State has been sitting on the country’s top-ranked recruiting class for months.

Alabama, Clemson, Tennessee and North Carolina have jockeyed for the No. 2 spot behind the Buckeyes, but despite the fact that Ryan Day’s program has only added one verbal since May, there’s not yet been any real threat to unseat the reigning Big Ten champs.

And the truth is that if Ohio State is able to finish the 2021 recruiting cycle the way it would like to, no school is going to be able to catch them. If the Buckeyes can land the final targets they’re chasing, it’s almost a certainty that it will be the best recruiting class of the modern era.

There are five players Ohio State needs to reel in order for that to happen. The odds of doing so vary from player to player, but there’s no doubt that the Buckeyes pitch is simple: Come be part of the best class in history and get developed for the NFL better than anywhere else. It’s a five-man group that consists of two offensive players and three defensive stars who could thrive in Columbus for years to come.

Power 5 conference have to all make a uniform decision at this point imo. The Big Ten canceling just set the dominoes in motion, shouldn't be long until it's every conference.

This. From a legal perspective, I don’t know how liability isn’t marginally increased for any conference that doesn’t go dark. Once the MAC shut it down, anyone who is negatively impacted by contraction of C19 can point to the other conferences and say that it was anticipated by those conferences that shut it down and there is a clear road to liability and damages. Frankly, I suspect — and I think others here do too — that if the MAC didn’t go dark, we’d have football this fall.

Note: I’m not suggesting that I agree with the decision in the context of the likelihood that someone contracts C19 and has damages... I’m just looking at it though a risk management perspective. Funny term, that... they are not managing risk at all. They are trying to eliminate it while disregarding the risk of what happens to the kids when they don’t have football. Either way, the legals know what they are doing as what happens outside their campus is not their problem...

As expected, this is a huge mess.
