2026 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

11W Forums

Brief summary of Birm's latest:

-Chris Henry Jr. is gone to Oregon – OSU fought hard but refused to match an “unreasonable” NIL number for an unproven freshman. Ohio State’s offer to Henry was massive (more than any incoming frosh except Jeremiah Smith) but still had a limit; Birm believes OSU was right not to go higher.

-Blames timing of Hartline news + Oregon’s aggressive money game; says Mater Dei (CA) kids are no longer worth the headache.

-Legend Bey situation is “one of the wildest ever” – signed with Tennessee under family pressure, immediately tried to back out; Birm now thinks he’ll end up back at Ohio State once released or after he turns 18.

“Culture” is a word Day throws around a lot and I think it applies here well.

OSU certainly plays the NIL game, but I think they’re pretty fair in how they operate. Getting ultra-aggressive on CH Jr. prob isn’t worth rocking the boat on what they’ve created.

Would’ve loved to have landed him, but if CH Jr. doesn’t see what OSU brings to the table, I think we’re more than justified moving on….

There are going to be some studs dying to play the role of Carnell Tate next year…..

Did you really believe that the Fire Ryan Day! crowd was going to go away after just ONE national championship?
Now fire everybody is a thing. Lol. People are catching strays all over the place.

Let's not forget that this year, Day also beat Scum, has OSU in the conference championship and will probably get a bye regardless of the result.

But he didn't win the recruiting championship.
