I voted begrudgingly, but I'm not sold he would be our best option. Cannon for an arm. Some great throws mixed in with some head scratchers.....and honestly, I'd prefer a more mobile QB. And also, it'd be him settling.....I want someone who is fired up, and looking at OSU as an opportunity. How many times do we win out on the guys who receive a scholarship offer from an Oklahoma or a Texas? Most of the team is settling. Dude wants to get drafted. He is not going to be not fired up. This is his last year to prove it before the 2025 draft. He will prove it. Well, our recruiting was winning big time battles before everything blew up. I'm just not sold on DJU. I think he was over hyped coming out of high school because of his big arm. I'm more excited about that kid from Idaho.

Our classes were 55th "ish" to #109.

Don't get stuck on that ranking.....if you look at the individual players, many of the kids who were choosing us over the last couple seasons had offers from hole, Utah, USC, etc... We absolutely were on the uptick in recruitng. We will not be in the running for kids with those kinds of offers.....at least not how things currently stand

And maybe we make an extra couple of bones from our television deal. There is literally no downside to DJU staying.

And you'd never officially know who offers a kid. If you'll notice it isn't schools that announce they've "offered" a kid. They announce commitments & signings. There is an entire industry that survives on rumor and with of mouth during recruiting and now the portal. If enough of our signers had indeed had such offers our class rankings would go way up. It's almost automatic that as soon as to tier schools supposedly offer a kid's rank goes up. Hence, OSU would not be in the 55-60+ range if they had a bunch of those kids. Ranking isn't everything, but more accurate than "offers". Offers are written off mouth and kids can state that they were offered by anyone. There is no official paperwork until you sign an NIL.

Whatever man. I should know better than to engage with you. You are literally the master of spinning whatever you want to fit your narrative.

If "spinning" means calling out such exaggerations as, "many of the kids who were choosing us over the last couple seasons had offers from hole, Utah, USC, etc...", then yep. Cuz it just isn't true.

Just read Michigan State has had 5 players pull their name from the portal and return to MSU.
I'd be thrilled with 2

Not sure any QB wants to play behind the offensive line we’re fielding for the Sun Bowl.
