OSU Recruiting Thread

Bump.

Sark got his 5-star.


Stands to reason that this would end any talk of a Ewers flip.

Sounds like there is a decommit on the horizon from Dasan Mccullough. Family is all at IU. Would be an unfortunate development.

Where's this coming from? Don't doubt it based on the circumstances, just have only heard that he was standing pat so far.

Birm from Lettermen Row and some guys on 11W. He also took all OSU stuff off his social, and two guys from I think 247 already swapped CBs to Indiana. Seems all but certain. I agree I was kinda shocked. Nothing was unexpected here with his dad and his brother(s) as far as I know. Not sure what changed.

 

[Chris]

It’s official. Would never fault a high school kid for his decision, but just seems like poor business acumen.

Oh well. Ohio State will finish with a top 3 class.

 

[Chris]

I dunno. I have to say I hate that we find ourselves in this insane arms race with Alabama and to a lesser extent Clemson.

The price of dominance.

I certainly get it given the family ties.

It should be noted that neither of those teams are the ones that leap-frogged us (Georgia, LSU), but yeah. Hard to complain that there's only two (1.5 really) programs in the entire country we can be envious of, though.

Is there any read on where JT Tuimoloau will land? I don't follow recruiting super close but he's the last big name on the board for 2021 that I've heard about, and my guess based on things I've read is it's probably between us and Bama unless he stays home.

Yeah, but it was Alabama who leap frogged us the 2021 cycle after we dominated it for most of the going. I’d expect something similar to occur for 2022. That said, the arms race is the price of success as AZ stated. And we will be a top 3 class almost for sure, I’d imagine. So not sure the gap is even a talent one.

As for JTT, yeah, he’s been OSU CB’d forever now, but he wanted to visit. Dead period is ending so we will get him in ASAP. I have a funny feeling Bama steals him, though, like they did Latham. Ugh.

Since no one else had mentioned:

Not the most exciting pick up given the state of our WR room, but Hartline continues to impress. Best part is giving Michigan another L.

JTT visits Columbus on the 18th, but his final visit is at Bama. Would be a huge win if we got him, the thought of him and Sawyer wrecking the front line together is too good.

I remain pessimistic on JTT... but fuck it would be awesome. We have a very good shot, I just have this weird feeling of doom regarding Bama.

Plus I’m sick of hearing about the kid.

We shall see!

 

[Chris]

JTT in town today. Day and Johnson need to lock him down. Weaken Bama, strengthen us, team him with Sawyer the next 3 years. Would be incredible.

 

[NorthCoastBias]

Whoa. Huge news here.

He’s been to Bama before, granted. But this can’t be anything but positive for us.

Did you actually read the article? Bama is out. He's deciding between OSU, Oregon, Washington and USC.
