Keeping talent from other rivals
Not often discussed is that for every big-time recruit that chooses the Buckeyes, it’s one less that goes to the likes of Alabama, Clemson, Penn State, and yes — Michigan. In fact, it’s a little cute the Wolverines even thought they had a chance at Henderson.

The Buckeyes are soaring with the 2021 class right now and far and away the leader across the country — blowing everyone away. There’s still time to go, but with all these four and five-star recruits flocking to Columbus, that means when they match up with other blue-bloods (or Michigan), the talent gap will make a difference.
It all plays well for the future as long as the transfer portal doesn’t cause more chaos than expected.
