Westbuck04.... I could see a reciever choosing Ohio State over USC for the following reasons.
Ohio State is tradionally in the Top10 almost every year. Some recruits won't mind getting the chance to start for a high profile school like Ohio State.
Per previous NFL drafts of WRs the number of catches or playing for a wide open offense appears to have no bearing on draft position. In the old days before ESPN 24/7, bulletin bds, sports talk radio and the internet the only way to get alot of pub was to play for an open passing team. Today, its alot easier to get noticed even at the small schools.
Jenkins route running and other skills didn't seem to suffer from playing WR at Ohio State. In fact, ESPN commentator M. Irving said Jenkins ran the best routes out of all the receivers...including USC M. Williams.
And something I always wondered is injuries. Does a WR that catches twice the average essentially play 2 seasons in 1 year? The WR maybe taking twice the hits?
IMO...I think the issue of conservative offense affecting recruitment of WRs is way overblown. We will not get the depth that USC will (Thats what it will affect) but there will always be a few excellant WRs who want to star on a high profile program like Ohio State.
