Usually when a big name decommitment happens, there is cause for concern. Especially when it happens at a place like Ohio State, that kind of negative news on the recruiting trail is most often followed by rampant speculation about what went wrong and a worry that other decommitments will soon follow. None of that is the case in this situation.

While McCullough had been quite outspoken the past few weeks that his stake at Ohio State was a strong one despite his father Deland McCullough taking the running backs coach job at Indiana, in the end there is nothing Ryan Day or McCullough’s primarily recruiter Al Washington could have done in order to overcome the family connection in Bloomington.
