2025 CB Na’eem Offord commits to OSU

Does he understand when to use commas? 

So, offered?

So like a handmaid from Handmaid's Tale?

Not sure why someone would downvote you for your honest comment

Ryan Day doesn't seem like the dude who can bring the discipline needed to a team full of mercs. We'll see of course.

It’s still different. Texas A&M was not winning before they decided to buy players. OSU may stub their toe in a game (The Game), but we need to be honest. They’ve had a culture that wins games, just not the one that we care most about. They are throwing studs into a locker room that expects to win… that isn’t what A&M was.

I find all the offseason celebrations by OSU about their influx of talent to be strange. They're always in the top 5 in talent. That was never their problem and I would bet the incoming talent they straight paid for is going to gel worse than your traditional OSU roster

This isn’t any different than how OSU has been recruiting for years. And given how many players stayed who could’ve left for the NFL, they also seem to have a pretty good culture. They’re not Texas A&M. But the encouraging thing is that their top recruits/transfers continue to be WRs and DBs. Michigan won the last three years because they dominated up front, and OSU hasn’t changed that yet.

Good point; but even though OSU CB sometimes aren't developed to their ceiling, CB is unfortunately one position where raw athletic ability can do a lot, team spirit or no. 

Love how we rip on Ohio State for not being "tough." In the past two years, unless I'm mistaken, they've lost three regular season games — including two to Michigan, which this year, on the road, they lost on the road by less than a touchdown.

If they weren't in the same damned division as last year's National Champion, they probably would have made the 4-team playoff. To act like they're a bad team, or "soft" seems like wishful thinking. Unless the standard for "soft" is "being the second-best of over 100 teams in the country."

Ah, fuck it. I love acknowledging them as an awesome damned team. Makes us look better for beating them. Why do you want to make it look like beating them is easy?

Of course, OSU brought in A&M's AD to supervise the spending. I'm afraid OSU's approach is likely to work a lot better than A&M's. They are spreading the money around. Besides incoming freshmen, they are paying transfers and paying players to stay out of the draft. The last part should avoid a lot of the resentment some players felt at A&M while also fielding a team ready to compete immediately.

It’s also the Georgia and Alabama approach. It works for some.

I think this extends to effort.  If you’re getting a pile of money before your first S&C session or practice - and, you still have a pile of money regardless of what effort you put in.  Does the money serve as a motivator - or would you feel entitled to the pile of cash.

Dancing with “The Day” should break those egos. 

I must have missed the post for when unranked Eli Lee committed to them.
