OSU’s staff is pretty good at evaluating. There were some who were adamant that he would be in the class, and expected OSU to pursue because he was from OH… Didn’t work out at Purdue, so best of luck at Miami(OH)

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
The Ohio State Buckeyes had 22 commits in that class, and it was ranked as the fourth-best class in the country. Of those 22 commits, 11 of them have now left the program. Half of that class is gone, which means that Ryan Day needs to take a look at his talent evaluation.

You need only a top 5 at every position instead of a top 50 previously. Much leaner classes. And I wouldn't even put any stock rankings. Just personnel needs. And if that kid can play by year 2 at the latest

I’m not sure this is truly the case. This year’s portal and the changes we’re seeing have certainly played into guys leaving that may not have previously.

Too soon old, too late smart
Might suggest that now the Players have learned the rules of this new game. Some of the players go to smaller schools and excel, and then leverage their 'minor league' experience to the bigger/better teams via the portal. Others sign with, and get the training from, the better schools, with better coaches/facilities, etc and then leverage THAT into more NIL cash. Some are taking their skillset and contributions, and looking around to see where they can make a bigger impact (look at the QB carousel). Someone wiser than I might see how many QBs in the playoffs are with the team they originally sign with. And do a correlation with their original NIL $, versus what they're pulling in now....
