Reflecting on how they generally seem to operate on the recruiting trail, it really doesn’t feel like they even identify a big board with ranked priorities—which is evidenced by the hilarious lack of name dropping of alternatives when they claim they “passed over someone.”
It feels like they just hand out offers like passing a “do you like me, check yes or no” note in class and are just happy when someone shows interest back.
Should we try to hold off on a commitment from this QB we just offered at camp as we try to pursue some of our other targets? They either don’t have other targets identified, or they’re just super excited when someone checks ‘yes’ and they don’t worry about the rest.
Either way, it’s a fascinating mess to observe, especially in juxtaposition to the well oiled machine that is Ohio State.
