Every year, the fans come up with a list of 30-40 Ohio recruits whom they deem to be worthy of an Ohio State offer ... but the Buckeye staffs' list contains only 10-15 such names. That's why there is always so much discussion (which sometimes devolves into outright panic) about "borderline" prospects like Will Studlien and Chris Fields (and Chauncey Incarnato and Gerald Cadogan and Ryan Brewer and Tyrell Sutton and Javon Ringer and Kyle Jefferson, etc. from past seasons). The fans tend to see Ohio kids "getting away", rather than appreciating the unknown, unheralded OOS recruits who took their places (Gamble, Holmes, Gholston, Laurinatis, Washington, Chekwa, and Russell, just to name a few during the JT era).

If the fans had their way, then every "three-star" prospect from Ohio would have an offer from Ohio State, but with scholarship restrictions, that's obviously never going to happen. And besides, there's just too much talent nationwide to be overly focused on Ohio - the staff really has to take a shot at the OOS "blue chippers" before they start offering the "bleed scarlet and grey" types in-state. Because of scholarship limitations, there will always be kids who dreamed of being Buckeyes who end up playing in Champaign or East Lansing or Oxford or Athens.
