As a Buckeye fan, we all wish that we could have landed Jerome Baker, a top 2 player in the sate, but I am sick of all of the hate towards him and people challenging his work ethic. We are Ohio State and over the past couple of years, we have picked top talent from almost every note worthy state. We stole McMillain from GA, Vonn Bell from GA/Tennessee, Bosa and Heuerman from Florida, JT Barrett from Texas, Curtis Grant and Jalyn Holmes from VA, Noah Spence from PA, and Dame Webb from the state up north. Just because we lose one top player out of state every couple of years doesn't mean anything because we raid other states from top Talent every year. Sure, it would be good to return to the good old Tressel days of securing every top instate talent plus some of the great out of state prospects that Urban has landed. But, if you look at some of the great prospects we have landed from Florida, I would take the trade of Johnnie Dixon, Heuerman, Bosa, etc for Baker anyday.
