I really belive we bowed out on some wr targets to allocate money for sanders, Naheem, Pettyjohn. Especially sanders. With OSU having JJ and having Another elite wr in 2026 it allowed them to save on 2025 class. Moore, French and Brown all wanted big money. If we get sanders I’m cool with lesser wr class.

I'm A BUCKEYE fan but to sit here and think that Alabama with A NEW COACHING STAFF at that having the #3 overall class and is still trending for several 5 ⭐️ players should not be overlooked.

@@erictell9780 Lol. Not sure what rankings you're looking at, but I'm looking at the 247 COMPOSITE rankings. As in, an average of all the top ranking services.

Na'eem Offord .. who Day got .. not DoBoer. Lol. Alabama is doing well, but OSU and Day are on an historic level. Just go to 247 and click on each team's class ranking. It is very clear Day and OSU are smoking the rest of the field. As example, Day having commits from FOUR #1 kids in their state .. one #2 .. two #3 .. etc. Alabama? Their HIGHEST ranked state commits are two ranked at #7. Good class, but .. not anything close to what Day is doing. Sorry your bias doesn't want to see that, but facts don't care about your feelings. Day and OSU are also still very much in the mix for more 5-stars.

[@Dutch1982]

BP reminds me a lot of Paris Campbell. He had the recruiting profile but was far from a finished product when he got to town.

[@alexroyer8683]

Only because Campbell reclassified up a year and was 17 as a freshman. Campbell was a big recruit out of a state championship team. BP has barely played received and is 6'4". They could not be more different...

[@Dutch1982]

Campbell looked like he barely played receiver when he got on campus as well. Was it Virginia Tech he went offsides arena football style? Meyer just drooled over his speed. BP has the same speed.

[@mecahhannah]

Agreed

[@alexroyer8683]

@@Dutch1982 The point is, they could not be farther from the same prospect. One was a top 5 player in OH from a big program, the other is a quarterback for a small town and ranked in the 40-50s in state. One got exposure for being a smallish RB/WR speedster, the other is a 6'4"+ height guy who will go up and get the ball. Respect you, but odd comparison imo.

[@Dutch1982]

@@alexroyer8683you are looking at every factor except as a wide receiver. My comparison is the position they will play at OSU, nothing else. It took Campbell 4 years to catch his first TD at OSU. He was more of a developmental guy than you realize. BP is also a developmental freaky fast guy.

[@765lbsquat]

They will only get Maxwell Roy at DT and try to get either autry or stewart. They have passed on everyone else. If they don’t get stewart or autry they will only take 1 DT this class. Also london merritt could end up playing 3tech in college.

You can tell birm is being careful with what he says about jordan davison. He showed up there at 240 pounds with a me attitude and now there backing off.

[@uncreativeCFB]

It’s all about the money. Sure the weight is a turn off but we don’t pull an offer on an official to a guy at an OV because he gained some chub recovering from an injury. This is a total spin job and it’s insulting. He’s rivals #1 RB.

[@st-xi3ys]

@uncreativeCFB yeah but there's even word that oregon has backed off as well. Seems like somthing is up the kid

[@jimmy5634]

It’s not Mansfield, it’s Ontario, Ohio.

[@erictell9780]

WR Chris Henry's QB Birm will be Julian Sayin or Air Noland or Tavien St. Clair

[@annarborbuckeye95]

Henry Jr on one side as a freshman and J Smith as a junior on the other with either one of those QBs you mentioned 🤔😤💪

[@uncreativeCFB]

So Ohio State pulled Davison’s offer because he was out of shape. In the offseason. And recruiting him over a year. And all the Matre Dei implications. And after you said Sunday “think a decision could come as soon as tomorrow here. Ohio State wants a third running back, if Jordon wants in it's his spot to surrender but there are other options on the line as well. I’m not saying the weight wasn’t a concern but this is extremely difficult to believe. Your company (rivals) has him as the NUMBER 1 back in the country.

[@zanehawkins5869]

Auglaize! My dude lives in wapak!

[@erictell9780]

I think that is exactly why OSU isn't willing to go all in on Dakorien Moore because of 2026 top WR #1-2 player overall coming in they just don't need to with Henry in the fall

[@erictell9780]

OSU is out for Ffrench, Brown III, unlikely at all we get DK Moore
