JTT’s final 5 schools leave a lot ponder to the scheme junkies amongst us. 

He always expressed his desire to play DE in a 4-3 system, and Ohio State’s literally the only program amongst his finalists that utilizes a 4-man front as its Base D.

All of the the other programs: Alabama, USC, Washington, & Oregon predominantly use 3-man fronts as their Base.

This list just strikes me as bizarre considering he didn’t even have a finalist or a visit with another program running a Base 4-3?

Makes me think JTT knew it was the Buckeyes the whole time.. and that the other finalists were just window dressing: 3 PAC-12 schools, because West Coast kid, and Alabama because, well, Alabama.
