The Hurry-Up: Four-star OL Ian Moore confirms he will visit Ohio State this weekend and OSU sometimes uses recruiting rankings as a tool but has its own evaluation of prospects.
“The offense was great,” Moore said after his visit. “The passing game and the run game really impressed me. The offensive line ran through the Notre Dame defense.”
They make for very interesting discussions for fans and media alike, and of course they ultimately lead to formulating the overall national recruiting ranking that a class signs in a particular class. “We're definitely aware of it,” Day said of knowing what prospective prospects are ranked by various recruiting networks. “We have our own evaluations and we kind of rank our guys and go through them. And then every once in a while, we'll say, 'What are they ranked nationally on some of the publications?' Just to get an idea. Typically, the higher-rated guys are a little bit harder to get. And that's just the way it is.
