2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Per 11w poster:

The strategy has been to not reach on guys in the summer. Let teams overpay now for avg guys. Take it into the fall if need be to evaluate Sr film.

I'm fairly certain that we'll be wrapped up at nearly all positions by July. TE, WR, and possibly the last OT spot will go into the fall. And who knows on QB.

Or you could possible wait until further along in the recruiting season, when many have committed already, thereby lessening the availability of talent. That would automatically have more money chasing fewer players, and raising the price of poker. This sounds like three dimensional chess to a guy (like me) who's playing checkers. Let alone offering a player a ton of money, while a recruit that committed a while back for lesser bucks, looks and says, "Hey! I'm more highly ranked, you gotta up my cash!" Or some such.

• 5-star RB David Gabriel Georges, the top back on Ohio State's board for 2027, and a must-get for the Buckeyes' class
• 5-star DL Marcus Fakatou out of California, who could turn an already impressive OSU defensive line class into an incredible one
• Top-50 WR Benny Easter, Jr., a Texas Tech commit who could give Cortez Hankton his first huge recruiting win in Columbus
• Braydon Parks, a 4-star defensive tackle out of Chicago, who would bring size and impact to the interior of Larry Johnson's 2027 class

A Chicagoan? You don’t see many of those. I’d be really curious to understand how/why Chicago doesn’t seem to produce much major D1 talent.
