2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

[jwinslow]

Ironically Bill and Dave talk about this subject starting at 14:20

Miami paid more money.

If these peeps want to talk about the wallet getting bigger for the trenches, that's a credible conversation as it relates to Miami.

Miami doesn't have to pick. They sign Mark Fletcher and the OL. They hilariously overpaid for Carson Beck.

As a phiosophical wake up call? No, it's not credible. Michigan bullied them for years.

It's not like OSU built a championship favorite roster for 2025 and thought, let's hang our hat on Austin Siereveld at LT. They wanted David Sanders. They wanted other portal guys. They just did not get it done (probably financially).

Was it a wake up call or is it a new o-line coach getting his recruiting game going....

I think it's the latter personally....

This question isn’t targeted at you or anyone in particular, and I just posted the tweet as tongue in cheek as it does seem like particular moments and games cause Day to pivot. But did Day cause the heavy strategy for the trenches in ‘27, or did the Collective finally step up and start helping the coaches in a way they haven’t previously? Just wonder if the Miami game is what changed it for the boosters, because at the end of the day, it’s not Day coughing up the money for recruits

Everyone is imperfect so Day is going to make mistakes and, to his credit, learn from them. True.

It’s also true that simple stuff like, special teams matter or Coombs calls the same defense in every play, shouldn’t be costing you seasons at this level of the sport.

I don’t want to see my $10MM man head coach, who I firmly believe is the greatest offensive coach we have seen at OSU since Paul Brown, having a V8 moment about stupid simple stuff.

Day perplexes me.

Exactly this. He's smarter offensively than anybody that has been in that locker room by a wide margin.....and yet the mistakes he needs to learn from could have been learned by asking the dumbest schmuck on bucknuts.

But, to be fair, I'm not chalking up losing to Miami as any kind of light bulb moment.....like what jwins is saying. So I'm really just taking him to task for playing scared, inexplicable Michigan game plan, and whatever the heck special teams have been.
