re: Quinn Ewers, #1 2022 QB decommits from TEXAS

Nah. He's going to OSU. He only committed to Texas due to pressure. OSU has always been the school he wanted to attend. Burton plays a role as well in the easy call to make.

OSU has the best pound for pound recruiting staff in the country and everyone knows it. Day doesn't control everything there. He lets the position coaches and coordinators go after who they want and then fit them in. Every position has an ace recruiter or someone with a tremendous reputation of sending players to the NFL. Even fricking Studwara pulls elite talent there and many would say that's their worst recruited spot.
Clemson and Bama rely very heavily on their head coaches to seal the deal. Obviously both do great at it but it's a different way of being successful and shows just how great those 2 are. Urban was another that had that greatness. They begin with the process/culture and fit players into it. Urban didn't quite have the culture and it's what you see at OSU. Talent everywhere but they tend to fit the system to the players instead of the other way around. It's the basis of why OSU is a slight step behind Bama and Clemson on the field. Their structured culture wins out when the talent is equal most times.
