I grew up a buckeye fan and went to tOSU. If i was a highly sought after D1 football prospect athlete, and had a choice to go to tOSU or scUM i can't imagine choosing scUM. over tOSU and turning the bucks into the bitter enemy. I know it happens, but it seems like it would be an uphill battle to sway anyone in this situation...unless depth chart situations were vastly different

Yeah, but some of us grow up diehards and some just grow up rooting for the team. I don't know exactally what type of fan Clifford is.
I also know there are alot more factors than who you grew up rooting for especially if the team you rooted for is oos.
Positives:
1. He will have two teammates here.
2. Distance(Home School) - big factor. Ann Arbor is about 2 more hours than columbus from Cincy.
3. One guy from his team is having a bad year up there and is probably going to transfer.
4. He hasnt been to Ohio stadium and experienced all the tradition. We can really wow him here.
Negatives:
1. Depth Chart - If we bring in Schwartz this year we are going to have quite a few safeties on our team.
2. He has really only been exposed to scUM as he attends their camp and has been to their stadium. Could be too much of a lead to overcome.
Well anyways I look forward to all the updates from H&G and hopefully he can sway him our way.
