How did our coaches screw up the recruitment of this kid and that of Hamlin? I would like to know.

See, here's the problem in a nutshell:

When you have no talent at a position, kids don't want to go to your school because the coaches can't develop talent.

When you've got too much talent at a position, kids don't want to go to your school because they'll be buried on the depth chart.

When you win too much, kids don't want to go to your school because they won't get a chance to play early.

When you lose too much, kids don't want to go to your school because you're a losing program.

If a kid doesn't fit your scheme, he won't want to go to your school because his talents won't be utilized properly.

If a kid does fit your scheme, he won't want to go to your school because he wants to develop other talents.

When you're the local school, kids don't want to go there because it's not exciting.

When you're the faraway school, kids don't want to go there because it's not close to home.

It's really a delicate balancing act, and the coaches can rarely get it right.

And of course the perpetually bad weather in the cow town known as Columbus never helps in recruiting kids.

It's really amazing that Ohio State gets any kids at all.

Thank you for your response but none of your scenarios fit here because they led at one point and now they are trailing schools in the area. If Apple and Bell leave, we are going to need studs if not to start right away, at least be in the two deep.

I dont know that's the case.. whats the ole saying "watch what they do not what they say". Fuller hasn't been to OSU in a long time and hasn't visited often.

You really read all of those reasons and came away thinking, man, I still need to figure out exactly how they blew it... rather than realize that recruiting is rife with complications and losses ?

P.s. the studs that will start in their absence are not in high school right now, and that if true if they could sign any db recruit in America.

FINALLY I now understand recruiting. Haha. This should be a sticky on the top of the recruiting forums page. Bravo!
