OSU's National Championship...and effects on KY
- Thread starter jlkirk
- Start date
Idk what impact juggernaut OSU winning it all has on UK.
Don't see it helping or hurting recruiting. They already get whoever they want anyways.

We really don't recruit Ohio as much as we used to.
5 players this year. Only 3 last year.
Ohio helped build the team in early years, but lots of new places for last 7 or 8 years.
I wouldn't worry Ohio State as much as Illinois, Maryland, Indiana. Used to attract good players to play in the sec. Now they've won two national championships. Had 3 of post 4 participants. USC, UCLA trips. Harder sell.

ND being relevant probably affects us more. IU as well.
Belichick at UNC. He tried to snag our lead recruiter which tells ya the area and recruits he’s going after.
Then SC’s balls dropping this year. Cocks with a big swinging set will be strutting around the trails chest out.

We hardly ever have won a recruiting battle vs. Ohio St for an Ohio kid. There are a few kids they strung along (Lynn Bowden) and tried to jump on late....but for the most part Ohio St winning a Natty...those kids are kids we are getting regardless.
Notre Dame...again we don't really run up against them often for kids...
Now the Wisconsin, Michigan to a degree, Mich St, Penn St, Mizzou, Ole Miss, Miss St, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee due to location, etc...those are the schools that impact our talent base mostly.

Ohio State doesn't recruit the same dudes we do and if they do, they usually get them anyway so I would last night was irrelevant to our recruiting. Dame is always going to be in the lead for catholic kids - that is their built in pipe line, but while they don't sign a lot of 5 stars, they do sign mostly upper level 4 stars, so we really aren't their comp either
I like recruiting Big 10 Territory for kids who want to play SEC football in warmer destinations, but who are still relatively close enough to home their families can come to home games. Also, I think we should put more focus on Southern Ohio and the Cincinnati area as long as Scott Satterfield is coaching up there. Surely Cincy isn't an attractive destination for many of those kids under Satterfield and we're just up the road.
Also, I’d be less worried about OH talent and more interested in TX, Fla, CA, talent.
The Ohio Valley and middle America talent hasn’t really netted us much.
The top end talent may be great but as has been established it’s spoken for.
The rank and file isn’t as deep. Whereas 3 and lower 4 star talent from the other above mentioned areas is better.

I don’t think it matters? Osu recruits nationally since Meyer, and any local kid they want they were always going to get. Bowden would have gone had they offered. CJ Conrad went for a workout while committed to UK. Maybe there’s an exception and UK won a battle in OH vs OSU but I can’t think of one. If there is one it rarely happens enough to count on a national title making a difference.
Darrian Kinnard maybe but I thought he had moves from TN in HS. Mike Edward’s?

This is like being concerned Brad Pitt is going to take your girl. We're not fishing from the same pond.
This. They and psu are spending so much money that we really aren't even pursuing the same guys anymore. These top nil teams are just in a different league.
None.
We'd be lucky to get first shot at anyone they would want. That's why identifying talent and developing, plus the portal, are more important than going up against them directly.
