I assume I'm not the only one who doesn't really care about recruiting anymore. With these guys being permanent free agents

Fairly accurate assumption. I look much more at the big picture, e.g., are we getting enough projected to be top tier linemen or do we keep missing out on our top targets at a particular position or position group, etc. than at individual recruits. I do still think that having a fair amount of home-grown continuity on the lines, especially the O line, remains important even with the ability to fill gaps through the portal.

I care about it. Just in a different capacity. I rarely even watch highlight tapes of recruits now. Not until they sign, for the most part.

It’s kind of like all the reports that come out of Spring/Fall camps about how great this guy or that guy is doing and never to be seen on Saturday.

I’ll root for the guys on the field come game day.

Per 11w poster:

Yeah that's about how I feel, that would be a ridiculous class on its own. You know we wouldn't be done but it would feel pretty much like gravy whatever else we get (with the exception of needing at least one more legit OL commit).

Per 11w poster:

Fong Bomb in for OT Kavon Blackmon to OSU. Say's "I believe the Buckeyes are the clear leader" for him.
Also says he thinks OSU is the early leader for OT Antijuan Wilkes (who I've stated I think will be very hard to land).
Other top OL he thinks we have major traction for and should get visits from this fall are: OT Samuel Bailey, OT Koehn Dial, IOL Joey Fleming, IOL Grayson Williams, and IOL Bryce Smalls.
Tyler Bowen is a machine.

Antonio Thomas Jr. named Ohio State as a school who could shake up his recruitment, we haven’t offered yet but he said he’s definitely interested in visiting. Said he knows he has a high chance of making it to the league if he plays at Ohio State.
He’s teammates with #1 2029 CB James Allen who Wiltfong has Ohio State leading for.
