Well that be fantastic. Pulling Geralds would be somewhat surprising but absolutely huge...I know some think he's leaning our way, but those southern DL are just so tough to get up to Columbus at the end of the day. Not impossible, but tough.

I’ll definitely admit that I was wrong on the 2026 QBs. It doesn’t seem like the coaches will settle on QB at all. They’re going after the best they can get. And kudos to them on that. Can’t assume anything in this climate with players remaining committed or becoming stars based on HS star rankings

Yeah they are going to get the best they can get and that will be the case under Day for every class imo no matter the talent of classes around them. Bringing on Sayin even though Noland was in his class is a prime example, which seems to be a good call with Sayin being the presumptive QB1 next year. Bring in the best and competition will sort it out.

4. QB Jared Curtis
5. OL Immanuel Iheanacho

250. S Kaden Gebenhart

There are others with offers on the list, but the above are the names I see that we have a shot with currently. Until we solidify our new coordinators and assistants, I don't see a ton of movement on the recruiting end. We're going to have to hit the reset button at numerous positions and I'm sure Day will find the best to fit in, but we may not strike hot early on until the relationships are built there.

Offer Scruggs right now por favor. That would be a huge boost to the OL class. From all accounts Bowen is a very good recruiter and it is dawning on me that the '26 OL class could look different than we thought with OOS guys that Bowen was in on at VaTech.

Yeah, he can definitely get in on some talent from DMV. It would serve dual purposes too, bring in talent to OSU and also mess up some of the talent flow to Ped St

Honestly I had never thought about the disruption of the DMV talent flow to PSU. LJ Sr was a great piece of that in the past and maybe Bowen can be a strategic piece to that part of our recruiting strategy in the future.
