re: Seeing a lot of unranked kids getting big time offers

I could see the staff believing that they have to get in early with OOS recruits to have a good chance. If it’s like last year, or even more so in ‘22, many could understandably plan to stay close to home without the chance to visit other campuses.

And, similarly, staff could believe that they have a very good chance of reeling in local talent in the later stages, after understanding where they stand with OOS recruits.

Not suggesting it’s the right approach but can see the logic, if it is the strategy. I certainly would hope they move on someone they want ASAP, local or not. While I appreciate what O has done, bringing home a Championship, his general decision making during his time has been questionable, if not detrimental at times.
