This past season, OSU was a couple of non-mistakes by Texas away from having a losing season.
Recruiting Trajectory
- Thread starter z004
- Start date
Couple of injuries away from 9-10 wins too. If and buts and whatnot.
I would expect a lot of Gundy’s focus going forward to be on portal players over HS recruiting. I would expect to see us have very small HS classes. There is too much of an unknown variable recruiting HS players vs Portal players. We are a program that can win a lot of games and have a lot of success with guys from the portal.
Without a doubt. Especially upfront.
The added benefit to recruiting portal players is that going forward it should lock them in to your roster with more certainty of future year rosters, as players now only get one transfer without sitting out going forward.
I think that’s going to be true for everyone in college football.

I was originally saying the HS class should be no bigger than 10-15, but now I think 15 may be too high.
It is a waste of resources, let them go develop in the "minors" or get squeezed out at Georgia/Bama and then pick them up through the portal. Don't waste NIL money on them either. Save it for proven talent.

Yes and no. This is actually what a LOT of the other schools are doing now as well. Which is leading to a LOT of high school recruits being under recruited and missed. This means that our diamond in the rough recruiting of high school recruits should be an even better strategy now.

Looks like you are away
I agree, but retaining those diamonds will be more difficult as well
True, hopefully they will feel some loyalty to us for uncovering them.
If we can get 3 years out of a great player I’ll consider us lucky . One to learn, one to contribute and one to really stand out before they go to an ESPN approved powerhouse. We’re a triple A league program now, gotta get used to that reality.

That’s everyone but about 4-5 programs max right now.

This is Oliver’s 3rd year. I’m surprised that some of the more sleazy schools didn’t make a big push for him last year

I think that is just about everyone. Even Alabama had a bunch of transfers.
Everything will be in flux.
They did, he just decided to stay here anyway. Getting an NIL deal helped with that.
