It goes back to the old recruiting adage: why commit at all?

The sad part is that our program invested time in this kid to develop a relationship from the beginning and another program can just swoop in at any point and steal a kid away. If he really has NFL talent he will get there regardless of where he plays college ball. However, OSU by its very nature will attract five other guys that will have the same or better ability. Is it better for a player to be a big dog at a non-blue blood or just another COG in the blue-blood machine?

Because the kid and his parents are gullible fools. He won't see the field there, no matter what they promised. He is just a valuable playing piece now removed from the board.

Darrell Royal did spring to mind, in terms of playing "keep away" with practically all the talent in the State every year, leaving little for anyone else to build with. He was hardly the only one, but he was locally famous for it.

That he would ruin the players who he considered surplus isn't surprising, and while many coaches are great guys there are always some with a sadistic bent. Here's where Jackie Sherrill springs to mind...

The book “Meat on the Hoof” from the 1970’s shows Royal’s drills designed to injure the excess players Royal wanted to take no chance that they could go to another SWC school and be effective against UT.

He could still change his mind back to the Frogs....... If there would be slot left for him would be another thing.

Maybe. I am actually not worried about TCU finding talented WRs. There seems to be plenty out in the market either as HS recruits or in the portal. When you have a QB that almost throws for 4,000 yards you are going to attract talent. (I anticipate Hoover's numbers to go down with a decent run game this year.)

His Suburb parents DO NOT GET IT. Sure, OSU WRs are all the rage. He is a 6' 160lb waif so have at it. Unless he runs a sub 4.35 40 time, he is bpunked.
