To be honest, an OSU offer doesn't mean a lot to me. Both teams are going to get elite talent, some may not have offers from the other rival, we're after different players. You're right about players moving up or down, both teams could have prospects that move up or down.

It really should. When the in state school evaluates you for a couple years and does not offer, red flags should go up (see James Jackson as an example from MI).
To make matters worse has offered a TON of kids this year (compared to years past) but not Butt, Conley, Taco, Dukes, McCray (the Legacy).
The 'different needs' theory may have a basis on the offensive side but not on the defensive side.

I dunno, maybe because he plays too much on offense (Taco doesn't have that problem).
Taco committed on 2/18 with other offers from ND, Nebraska, UCLA, Purdue, Illinois, Iowa, Pitt, Missisippi, Cincinnati, and Syracuse. The man with an eye for defensive talent in East Lansing passed as did tOSU who knew him oh so well after recruiting multiple players from his school the last few years.
On that day Anazalone already had offers from tOSU, Alabama, Florida, ND, MSU, WVU, and Penn St plus most of the scrubs on Taco's list (including you guys). (Add USC, OU, UGA, Stanford, and FSU among others since then)
Even if they are both prospects ranked on potential, only one of them is deemed to have it by the elite schools around the country.
Go Blue & Gig Em'!

Steve, Taco was not an every down player for his HS last year. How does he merit a 94?
It seems like 24/7 is right were OSU was about a year ago when everyone loved his frame and body but he has yet to display much of anything on the field.

Lol. Urban has been in his job for less than what 6 months? How has he evaluated these guys for a couple years when he was in Florida a couple of years ago?
Also I'll take Mattison's eye for talent and years of experience over any guy on OSU's staff. His track record for defenses speaks for itself.
And you mention James Jackson, Michigan also waited forever for Hankins how did that work out.
Michigan has good players, deal with it.

I predicted before this class started that Ohio State would be No. 1 in the nation.
However, Michigan is off to such a fantastic start. They'd be tough to pick against at this point.
Both programs will obviously finish with talented classes.
You are so non-combative, I love it.

This should be an interesting look on it, how do you see your class finishing out?
I think ours could look like this
LB-EJ Levenberry 4* 91
DT- Josh Augusta 4* 92
WR- Eldridge Massington 4* 92
DT/DE-Henry Poggi 4* 94
WR-LaQuon Treadwell 4* 94
RB-Ty Isaac 4* 95And we're pushing for Kendall Fuller 4* 96, though I still think he's VT bound

Really it's Urbs versus Mattison? That guy Fickell has been there a while and was in charge of LBs (among other things) when these offers were NOT going out to them.
Again, tOSU went after other players at the schools of Taco and McCray - so the look was more than a highlight film and a game and they never even merited a camp offer.
I think your HC is the one pushing for OH recruits, even if they are inferior. Eventually the star rankings won't hide it.

And what was the reaction among many of your fellow fans to the way Anzalone and O'Daniel were handled?
Your HC took guys in OH to whom tOSU did not even extend a 'camp offer' (see Munger, Tribusky, and others). He then told guys that tOSU was out of state chasing, not to visit. That does not sound like a wise recruiting strategy.
