I keep reading and hearing about how most "experts" says that Ohio State will or should red shirt Pletcher, McKenna and Martin and go for the title in 2020. I am not certain they can....or even should punt next year. Here is my logic....hopefully others can add to or correct:
First: Let us look at the Senior recruits coming into Ohio State next year along with their weight, state, FLO ranking & Track ranking:
1. Malik Heinselman..................120........Co............2---3
2. Alex Felix................................132........Ca............9---12
3. Quinn Kinner...........................138........NJ............2---1
4. Sammy Sasso........................145.......Pa............1---1
5. Jaden Mattox..........................160.......Oh.............5---4
6. Josh Ramirez..........................160.......Ia.............NR--19
7. Rocky Jordan..........................170......Oh..............4--3
8. Braeden Redlin.......................170......Tx.............12--12
9. Gavin Hoffman.........................195.....Pa..............1---1
You have to admit.....this is one amazing recruiting class. The lowest rated is Josh Ramirez who is a 4X State Champ and just won a State Championship in Iowa at 160 lbs.
Question: How much scholarship money is being tied up in these NINE recruits....all coming in next year ( presumably )? . SEVEN of the recruits are from out of state. . Hard to believe their isn't a good bit of scholarship money wrapped up in this class.
Question: If they punt their 3 star wrestlers until 2020......won't that eat up their scholarship money for another year? Also....they have the two Highly ranked Decatur brothers coming aboard in 2019-2020. I am not certain they can keep their scholarship commitments to all these commits. Even if they can...they most likely wont be able to offer any more scholarships until the 2020-2021 class. It doesn't sound like a strong plan for the future. Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance for your input
