A Statement
These "recruiting wins" mean less than ever with the addition of the NIL variable.
Even then, naturally the DFBIA is acting as if Torbert is some sure fire can't miss top 10 overall recruit in his class type recruit. He's a good prospect, but he's not that.
Michigan is having to constantly overpay for guys and is still probably not even finish with a top 10 class in the end. Just like last year. Their transfer portal class wasn't really much of a home run either, the only guys i'd call possible B1G caliber starters they brought in only came because they followed Whittingham from Utah. They really are only surviving along and not having a gigantic dropoff because they can throw massive amounts of NIL at guys like Torbert.

And I don't even think the offer for Torbert was some insane number, it was just a number that OSU didn't want to match or beat because CB isn't as much of a concern. There's a handful of positions that using the Portal won't cause much of a dropoff, and CB is one of them. Walt likes the 2 guys he landed, and both seem to understand that they may need seasoning and won't see the field until year 2 or 3. Torbert didn't want to hear that, so best of luck.A Statement

They will definitely have to overspend to keep up, and Whitt will find out quickly that patience will run thin fast in AA. Especially if this was considered their "win" and at the same time 5star WR, Jett Harrison becomes a Buckeye. And thats several days after 5star DL, Marcus Fakatou became a Buckeye. Oh, and several days before that HIGH 4star OL, Caden Moss became a Buckeye.
