I love Kerry. And this piece allows me to be a bit more optimistic. Let’s hope those incoming freshmen are what he thinks they are.

The guys Tinkle and staff brought in were talented,but I wonder if at the time Tinkle could have vetted these kids better,how many would have been added. Davis was talented,but a bad fit. The other kids besides Taylor were a bust imo. It takes a certain kind of kid to be successful under this staff. Hard worker,mentality of working hard for the team,chip on their shoulder,defense and rebounding as strengths. Not looking to pad stats to get to the next level. Good teammate and leadership guy.

My belief is that poor recruiting for several years left OSU's staff in the "beggars can't be choosers" category. For the most part the transfers have had limited offers from others, been a "problem" at a former stop, and/or barely contributed at former stops. JC's are a temporary fix, but when the bulk of the contributing roster are transfers, and it is the main method to fill a roster it will catch up to you/the program. Some teams depending on JC types are successful longer, but typically get high level transfers and have a good mix of HS recruits. There are exceptions, but the level of transfer would greatly exceed what this staff brought in. |

Agree the recruiting has been sub par. I'm a fan of Stewart,but Rupp and Thompson are not quality recruiters osu needs. This change has been long overdue. Tinkle will be at the final 4 this weekend,where he will meet with coaches and make connections. We should have a coach or two hired within a few weeks. An X's and O's guy who is a solid recruiter,and a connected younger assistant who has AAU connections would be optimal

ORRRRRR....
Maybe just have consequences when its very early in the season, you have plenty of healthy players and newcomers have bad attitudes and break rules.
Just an idea....
