Ranging from their facilities, development, and just plain winning, the Buckeyes have it going on in recruiting. In large part the success you see on the field is directly related to the players they are able to bring in, and while no program is perfect with every single player they land, more times than not Ohio State develops their guys even further, which is exactly why Ryan Day and company are able to continue bringing in top national players.
Ohio State’s first priority in recruiting is locking down the state lines. Sure, once in a while another program whether it be in the Big Ten landscape or nationally might swoop in and steal an Ohio native, but the Buckeyes have made a living on keeping their best in-state players at home and in Columbus for their college career.
