Ohio State again is expected to sign a top recruiting class, but name, image and likeness has complicated the recruiting process.
The early national signing day is Wednesday, and it’s one that feels different for Ohio State.. Ohio State has the seventh-rated class in the 247Sports composite rankings. That’s the lowest for the Buckeyes since 2019, but it’s largely a reflection of having only 20 commitments, the fewest among the top 12 schools in the rankings. Ohio State ranks third behind Alabama and Georgia in average player rank.
Pinning down specifics on NIL offers is difficult. NIL deals are private, and recruits generally don’t share what guarantees they’ve been offered.Schools are not permitted to offer NIL deals directly with players. Those must be done through a third party, often collectives or booster-run businesses, but schools can encourage donations to those entities.“It was never part of the conversation ,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said.
Offering lucrative NIL deals to recruits can be a double-edged sword. It would obviously help in recruiting, but if there is a finite pool of available dollars, it could come at the expense of players already on the roster. When it comes to the players Ohio State doesn't sign, Wiltfong isn't sure"if those are guys would truly want anyway.”
