2026 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

That's the issue

OSU does do a pretty good job with strategic calls in the transfer portal. So recruiting losses aren't necessarily a closed book, as much as a closed chapter.

This is all going to go the way of MLB in my opinion. There's going to be the LAs and New Yorks that can just out spend everyone and have the best talent every year. And there's going to be some schools that spend a lot less and have to develop the heck out of their rosters.

Occasionally one of those non spenders is going to hit the jackpot with a couple of players and make a run at it but for the most part, it's going to be the mega rosters in the playoffs every year.

Ohio State has no business ever being in the latter category so they might as well start ponying up and buying the guys they really want every year and be the bleeping Yankees of this thing!

How has that not been the case forever in CFB and collegiate sports in general? It’s ALWAYS been the haves and have nots. We just happen to root for 1 of the haves. The 12teamCFP has just allowed a few teams like Boise State and SMU and Arizona State to make a cute appearance. But none were ever going to win the NC. And OSU and even ND would’ve curb stomped those teams by multiple TDs.

I agree but for the record, Texas was lucky as shit to get past ASU last year.

Just like to put that out into the world.
