It’s really important for people to remember that next year schools can have up to 105 scholarship players. Obviously an extra (20) scholarships from the current 85 limit.

Many schools are already at 35+ commits in anticipation of this.

I just don’t think OSU has interest in bringing that many freshmen in….I truly think it’s kind of a waste of everyone’s time and resources. Especially when a revenue share of TV money ($20M) will be split amongst the roster.

I’m interested to see how it plays out but the #9 recruiting class doesn’t bother me a single bit if the players coming in fit the culture….

Just at first pass, the 105 thing is going to help the Iowa's of CFB a lot more than the elite teams (depending on $).

Gives the smaller guys the chance to stockpile more 3 star developmental projects and spreading the wealth with that type of guy isn't that big a deal (it would seem).

Big guys OTOH, could use it as a chance to develop their own extra 20 projects if they can offset the rev share dilution with NIL money for the rest of the roster. Then again, the big guys may not want to even bother with all the work you have to put into an extra 20 guys every year just to maybe hit on 20-30% of them. Those teams just go get new talent from the portal (after the Iowa school develops them :lol:)

I don't know. I hope it works in a way that gets more HS kids a roster spot/an old fashioned scholarship. That much I do know.

It lets you stockpile Ohio OL, who clearly have magical powers. Rather than spending all of your war chest on one high school OT that has been blocking 200 lb future lacrosse players.

Edge Carter Kessler says he’s set a commitment date for 9/28 and visits WVU on 9/27. Loves OSU and grew up a fan. I doubt OSU will be offering him this weekend as the relationship just started. Hopefully they convince him to hold off on a commitment and wait things out.

Birm also said the staff likes his senior film but "there may be some academic hurdles to clear" with Kessler.

Per Birm:
FWIW, Pick North 2026 DB A'mare Miller (visited for the Texas game) hurt his knee and will miss a few weeks. He told me he knows it probably shuts the door on his dream of earning an OSU offer.

"Injury probably closed the door on the OSU opportunity. I understand it and they are the mountaintop of College football. It stinks but it’s the reality. I’ll go play somewhere else and hopefully I can show that I can play at this level. I want to compete against the best players."

Definitely a kid to root for.

Messed up story, but definitely a kid I plan on following regardless of where he lands. And who knows, with the Portal he could find himself a Buckeye in another year or 2

don't see how he still can't get that offer. It's only September

I guess he's worried that it's going to mess up the evaluation and he'll get passed over. I see what you and he are saying though. He very well could get passed over in favor of another CB recruit who's healthy. But also, it is only September and if he's healthy by say early October that gives him time to put some good film to evaluate
