Yeah, I see you saw a post after mine. Yes, I forgot about him, I guess a blind squirrel gets the worm every now and then. We kept one from them, my bad,lol.
When it comes to recruiting history and even recent history- Rutgers vs OSU is just a different beast.
If I am a football player and know I am a 3 and out starter with NFL as my only goal- there are a handful of programs I compare.
Well- before NIL, that is.
Just taking OSU as the example. Doesn’t matter if you are 3-5 star.,,your next 3 years are what determine your fate. So, even if you are a NJ 4 star- you have Rutgers and OSU offers- outside of being home…and even though our academics may bit a little better, what do we have to sell?
I love what we have and we can outsell a lot of other programs but those other B1G schools are hard to do that against.
Never heard of a NYC firm turning down an OSU or Michigan degree based on the school.
