I am moving this to the regular football board. Even though it is a recruiting topic let's try to keep the recruiting board focused on specific players and at least away from purely speculative threads.
But, to answer the question - as much as I bleed Scarlet (I really do - I checked) as a coach or parent I would advise my kids to take their visits. If
OSU is the place - no harm done. If you change your mind it is a good thing you took the visits. This is about your future - not an emotional relationship to a mascot.
