It hasn't just been 2021 class where Franklin has failed in his backyard. Look at the 2020 class. He got 4 kids in PA's top 25- and none in the top 3. The top 3 kids in the state went to OSU (5* WR Fleming), ND (4* OT), and Pitt (4* DE).

To build an elite program- you need to do what OSU does. Lock down who you want in-state- the elite 5*'s and top 100 kids- but also cherry pick 3*'s and 4*'s here and there in-state who you really like as a staff- and then fill in the blanks with elite national kids. Under Tressel, OSU mainly recruited in-state then cherry picked a few kids here or there nationally. Under Urban (and now Day) - OSU is mainly recruiting elite national kids and then locking down the elite 5*/top 100 players in-state- and cherry picking on in-state kids here or there that their staff really likes but might not be rated super high by the recruit rags.


Look at all of the elite, high draft pick players during OSU's incredible run under Meyer. Most of them aren't from Ohio....

Ryan Shazier - Florida
Bradley Robey - Georgia
Michael Thomas - California
Curtis Samuel - New York
Malik Hooker - Pennsylvania
Vonn Bell - Georgia
Zeke Elliot - Missouri
Raekwon McMillan - Georgia
Joey Bosa - FL
Nick Bosa - FL
Jeffrey Okudah - Texas
Damon Arnette - Florida
JK Dobbins - Texas
Dwayne Haskins - Maryland
Chase Young - Maryland
Soon to be high draft picks:
Shaun Wade - Florida
Justin Fields - Georgia
Chris Olave - California
Wyatt Davis - California
Garrett Wilson - Texas

This is why Ohio State has been ELITE under Meyer. Meyer might be the best recruiter there ever was. His recruiting is completely different than Tressel's- and it's why he took OSU to another level that even Tressel wasn't at.

Screw that we'll take Kirk rather than a possible maybe on Davis - Bastages

Well, Davis committed to LSU, so we'll see if OSU ramps up on Kirk

Michigan making a run on 4* CB Kalen King (5'11, 170) of Detroit Cass Tech. King is a Penn State commit and rated as the #295 recruit in the nation, #23 CB, and #9 player in MI in the 247Composite 2021 rankings.

Cass Tech used to be a Michigan feeder school, and boy does Michigan need CB help in the worst way. Who knows if he'll flip, but the Michigan coaches are going all out to make that happen right now.

All reports are that he;s wide open to offers

Had UW in his top 4. Should have went and played for Jimmy. Class is about full now.

What about King's brother Kobe? He's a LB. Is he in play too? They "committed" on the same day back in April.

Haven't heard anything about him. Not sure Michigan is going to recruit any more LB's.

They already have him committed. 3* LB. I'm guessing they took him to get the higher rated brother at CB??

Wisconsin's track record with Kobe Kings is not outstanding

[MrNubbz]

Why?

Funny.


I don't even know where the kid is at now. He transferred to Nebraska to play for Hoiberg, and then left that program too. Something is very wrong.

Michigan commit 4* WR Xavier Worthy (6’1, 175) of California - the #77 player overall and #11 WR in the nation - taking an official to Bama. 

Worthy was the #1 WR on Michigan‘s and Bama’s board. He’s a legit 4.2 kid with 10.3’s in the 100m. Fastest recruit in the nation. 

He gone.

I had read OSU stopped recruiting him.  Had you heard that?
