Alot of recruiting talk in there. I thought this was interesting (and I agree with it):

I don't see OSU ever being a No.1 in recruiting again just because JT seems to like quality over quantity (and I agree). He seems to be spreading out the classes so we never need 25. I like the way he is limiting the need so he can go after more top guys instead of having to fill out a class to fill scholarships. Do you agree?

Well, they are also retaining more players from year to year. You only hear about 1-2 caualties a year now. Coop had classes of 20-25 every year because 5-6 guys a year didn't pan out or they'd transfer. Retention is huge.
