Ohio had the third most players playing in the College playoffs last year, behind Texas and Pennsylvania and ahead of all the southern states and California. So are those Ohio kids playing at the top schools in the country not talented?
How many OSU starters were from Ohio? A ton of Ohio walk ons inflated the numbers.
Yes if you transfer to a prep school or in general transfer. Most recent example I can think of is JJ McCarthy. Originally from Illinois he went to IMG Academy and he gets thrown in as a FL player
OSU has about 124 kids on their roster 12 or so are walk-ons. I counted 49 kids from Ohio on this past year's team That's about 40% of the roster counting the walk-ons. Take out the walk-ons its about 30% of the roster. Going by the list linked below I counted five starters from Ohio. So 5 of the 22 starters were from Ohio about 22%. That does not count special teams and guys with significant playing time that do not start.

My walk on number is probably off. Hard to tell what people count as being on the team do you travel or just practice; preferred walk on vs walk on... The starter number is accurate.

Yeah, we're on our way back to that, but it was skewed and had a higher amount of scholarships the last few years because of the covid year and extra eligibility. They're now trying to limit roster sizes back to 105.
It is, but since 2021 85 and 105 have both been inflated because of these kids getting 6th and 7th years from covid and other things. Seems like they're trying to reign it in again.
I think they had some 5th and 6th year transfers not many. The kid from OU comes to mind he was like a 5th year guy,
He graduated from HS in 2021 so he was a redshirt junior last year.
Here is a pretty good breakdown of the players including 5th and 6th year guys said they had 3 5th year guys 0 6th year guys

I would guess 1995, and even 2005, would be bigger hauls for Ohio and the 1950s through 1980s would be good to Ohio.Which States Had the Most Players Selected in the NFL Draft?
41 states, D.C., Canada, and Australia contributed to the 257 draftees.
I'm just saying the 85 and 105 rule hasn't been enforced for the last few years because of the covid rules, whether OSU had many 6th year players or not. I'm a Notre Dame fan, and I know they were talking about having to cut players if they went back to the 85/105 thing this year.
Yes. in 2021 they didn’t count the COVID super seniors which led to over 85 scholarship players/105 total players for the one year. But the NCAA put in a rule that went into effect in 2022 that capped it at 85 scholarships/105 roster even with COVID super seniors. So if you had a 5th year player use his COVID year in 2023, you didn’t get 86 scholarships. I’m not going through every roster from 2022 through this past season but I’d be shocked if there were multiple instances of 85+scholarships and 105+rosters without serious extenuating circumstances.
Mixed and matched some of the rules here - roster limit was 85 scholarships and 125 total. Going forward it will be 105 total and teams can go up to 105 scholarships.

I’d love to know which schools had more than 85 scholarship players on roster the last 4 years. Could you list them? Or at least mention how many went over that 85 limit?
Michigan had 96 in 2023 for one.
They most certainly did not lol. They utilized NIL in lieu of scholarships for a lot of their grad transfers that year, it was well documented. Here’s a Michigan beat writer saying it.

The court case has yet to be settled. If the NCAA can't find a way to keep all currently rostered athletes, the settlement would be denied approval per the judge last week.
You're wrong you ing douche.They most certainly did not lol. They utilized NIL in lieu of scholarships for a lot of their grad transfers that year, it was well documented. Here’s a Michigan beat writer saying it.

can only come up with one (incorrect) example that was entirely too easy to debunk. Yeesh.
Great retort filled with evidence backing your claim!
Sure thing clown. Like it taking it personally to go through all of my old posts like the little bitch you are. Enjoy being a clown, I'll be placing you on ignore.
Ah another post filled with emotional overreaction and no evidence backing your claim, all because you were wrong. Threw some insecurity projection in as well, nice!
