That is overstated. They have one of the top recruiting classes because of quality. Not quantity. While Ohio State has top recruiting classes it's because they pull in 4 and 5 star recruits but they don't pull in enough to fill all their holes or they're able to draw recruits to to the skill positions but struggle to fill the needs on both sides of the line. It doesn't have anything to do with coaching.

Talent is not Buckeyes issue. They have had the better talent last 3 years.

[@ScottCleve33]

I think it's the quantity of talent as well as the concentration of taken at the same positions. Not the coaching. This is an attempt to fill the holes that they've failed to fill through recruiting. Everyone knows that Ohio State has struggled on the offensive and defensive lines and that also happens to be where they've struggled to recruit. Recruiting 6 or 7 4 and 5 star receivers and 3 or 4 4 and 5 star QBs tends to skew the grade of the class.

[@OfficiallyOrca]

The impact you're seeing is from players we couldn't get due to the GOAT at Alabama. Anyone familiar with Buckeyes recruiting knows we always fighting battles with Georgia and Alabama for players such as Downs and Sayin etc. Top players defensively needed to see Knowles put a formidable product on the field. We did that. We always out-recruited the laminated up north THIS YEAR IS NO DIFFERENT! #GoBucks

NCAA football has basically become MLB before the luxury tax. OSU is like those Yankee teams with a monster payroll. I have to give OSU credit though. The rules allow it and they took advantage of it.

[@andrewschneider2121]

OSU hesitated for a few years but is finally throwing their weight around. It’s equally exciting and unfortunate that college football has come to this.

[@demodiums7216]

Its literally always been like this. If anything the transfer portal makes it more competitive because top teams cant hoard players for long if they arent starting

[@John-fq5nt]

The Ohio State finally caught up to the Bahamas and the Bulldogs

[@ScottCleve33]

Ohio State isn't the only one taking advantage of those rules. Ohio State is just better prepared to exploit those rules than anyone else. Nobody was complaining up until now when other teams were doing it and Ohio State was more reserved with their NIL money. Ohio State is just catching up to other programs.

Yep...hired money thugs seems to be OSU style these days. The champagne aisle is good for a year...than it's back to bag shopping...

[@chrisgbassknight]

Feeling like Sawyer & JT are a bit overrated. Not saying they are trash, they make right plays. Set the edge, gets some pressure on the qb, takes on blocks for backers to make plays. But they themselves don't make enough explosive or game deciding plays. Good players thou
