Just about every recruiting analyst knows that recruiting is a fickle game. It sounds like a cliche, because, well, it is. It’s an oversimplified description of an extremely complicated and fragile world, and it’s nowhere near descriptive enough to fully explain just how wild the recruiting game is. In this case, however? Well, I’m going to say it. Recruiting is a fickle game, and Ohio State is seemingly experiencing the short end of that cliche for the first time in Ryan Day’s brief tenure as head coach.
I should establish exactly what the Buckeyes are experiencing, because right now, most of the information is being whispered rather than reported, though the whispers are getting louder.
