Florida State paying recruits in high school "NIL" money in order to buy them to get them to come to their school? Passes the smell test imo. Why the hell they recruiting that good taking in-state 5*'s from Georgia? Makes no sense. Last time Florida State was even any kind of good these kids were 6 and 7 years old. Most of their lives Florida State has well, sucked ass.
Given the fact you were spot on (one of the rare times ;D ) regarding Hugh Freeze that the University,SEC or NCAA didn't latch on to

yeah so Michigan got two really good RB 'croots this class. Jordan Marshall and Micah Kapaana both put on a show in their week 1 HS football openers. Have a feeling as long as Mike Hart is the RBs coach that Michigan is gonna have pretty good RBs. Marshall will have a legit shot at being the #1 ranked RB by the time it's all said and done- he's #5 right now. Kapaana's burst and speed is ridiculous and he's on track to have another monster season for national powerhouse Bishop Gorman (he ran for 1,100 yards and 14 TDs for them on 70 carries last year) - have a feeling he's going to be a big riser in the rankings as he becomes their feature back this year and gets more than 70 carries....

really like Michigan's offensive class. QB Jadyn Davis, RB Jordan Marshall, RB Micah Kaapana, and WR Channing Goodwin all had monster season openers. All four of them look legit and pop to my untrained eye. Wouldn't be surprised to see Davis rise back up the rankings if he keeps it up puts up monster stats, wins Gatorade player of the year in NC again and another state title- he went 24-30 for 456 and 5 TD's with 0 INT's. Marshall is already top 100 player and the #5 RB, he's gonna stay there if not rise imo. Kaapana is so damn explosive- every time he touches the ball he breaks a big run and pops on screen- he's gonna rise imo. Goodwin looks legit as well-not as polished as his teammate Jordan Shipp- but looks more explosive and athletic than Shipp- but Shipp is just a stud who knows how to play WR and is so underrated. Jeem needs to flip that dude ASAP. The offensive tackles they got look prototype top 100 players at tackle as well- Andre Sprauge and Blake Frazier- both those dudes could see rises in the rankings. Their TE duo is great- TE's Brady Prieskorn (top 100 player, #7 TE) and Hogan Hansen (#239 player, #12 TE). On paper- it's a really nice class- missing top tier polished talent at WR- not saying they need all the freaks OSU has at WR in the same class- but just one high level athletic freak 'croot there would be nice.....

Very nice class.  

 Just to keep in the spirit of the rivalry- I like OHio States better.  

https://247sports.com/Video/james-peoples-veterans-memorial-2022-junior-season-highlights-11578521/

They went and got James Peoples from Texas and Jordan Lyle from Florida.

Then they went a got this guy- Sam Williams-Dixon too. He went off Friday night. 

Add Air Noland- who was on tv last week and looked smooth as silk,  the 3 WRs ( Smith, Graham, McCllelan), the Armstrong brothers on the offensive line, and Whitten out of Glenville at TE. 

Did well in D too- but I don’t think they are done yet on that side.

they both have excellent O classes. I think QB/RB/TE/OL positions are all very close, but I'd pick Ohio State's offensive class all day because: WR. Michigan isn't even in the ballpark there at WR- not even remotely close- but to be fair I don't think anyone is in the entire country. OSU WR class in '24 is once again downright f'ng ludicrous. Brian Hartline really needs to get an NFL job ASAP.

the classes on defense, OSU has much better top end talent on paper. Michigan wanted Ohio State commits CB Aaron Scott and NT Justin Scott badly. Those guys were without question the #1 guys on Michigan's board at CB and NT and are 5* caliber- and Ohio State got them both. Michigan doesn't have a CB commit in that universe and they don't even have a NT commit let alone a 5* one. CB Bryce West was high on their board at CB as well and Ohio State got him too- but they were always getting him- Glenville kid.

rich get richer. kinda crazy that Ohio State lost out on the #1 EDGE recruit in the nation- Dylan Stewart- to freakin' SOUTH CAROLINA of all places- a DMV kid who idolized OSU EDGE legend Chase Young (who is also from the DMV) and LJ has deep 'crootin ties and HS coaching connections in DMV area- but it doesn't matter bc they just say F it on to the next and go deep into the heart of Georgia and snatch an in-state 5* EDGE 'croot away from UGA. that's some serious 'crootin. Day can definitely 'croot his ass off.

2 way street.  There are a couple of dudes that committed down south, last minute- that I think might still be potential flips to come in.

Fickell and staff are actively trying to flip kids - including from other Big Ten schools.

That never used to happen, before Urban Meyer, but it's where we are today. Urban really took the conference as a whole to a different place when it comes to recruiting.

Fickell worked under Urban for 5 years at OSU. He knows the drill.

Flipping kids is part of the game.  If the kids want the recruitment to stop, they can simply stop taking calls.  Many of them do it every year.  Some don't.  If they flip, then they weren't very committed anyway.
