That's not ideal...

I know a lot of Ohio State people are still optimistic, but something just doesn’t feel right. Hopefully I’m wrong and just being paranoid.

His plan was to always visit OU before making a final decision. So this visit isn't too surprising

This visit itself isn’t surprising, the timing is though. Huffman went from suggesting that Egbuka was putting off the visit on purpose, to saying it was happening and that it could be a “game-changer” and that Ohio State’s concern level should be a 6-8.

If an Oklahoma insider was saying as much, I’d dismiss it pretty quickly. That said, Huffman is one of the top West Coast guys and has no reason at all to make things sound better for either school.

OU has always been the competition and if he was in the bag for OSU he would have already committed.

Maybe it’s just not that easy of a decision for him and he wants to keep evaluating. I’m not trying to sound snide, but perhaps he likes a lot about both programs/schools/atmospheres. McCord and Co just have to continue putting in work.

I don’t disagree with this take at all, pretty much dead on imo.

honest question... is WR a NEED position or is this just a luxury?

If he wanted to visit OU before making a decision this could be nothing more than checking a box.

WR is definitely the strongest and deepest position right now so it's a luxury but this guy is a super talent so it would still sting.

Would love to snag Egbuka but really not going to cry too hard if he goes elsewhere.

Could be as simple as parent saying 'do your homework so you have no regrets'
or as I tell my kids "know what you are saying no to"

Early signing day is the 16th. Maybe he just wants to do the OU visit so he can make his final decision and be able to sign on the 16th, etc.
