It would not at all surprise me if the fact that every other school would do this in a heartbeat for a recruit of Trey`s stature is conveniently ignored and CNS gets roundly criticized, if not pilloried, if he does this. Why? Because he`s the king and it galls a lot of people that he is. While I do think much of it stems from jealousy and envy, I think that you would not have to look hard to find folks who simply do not like him.
the # 2 OT in the nation and # 1 player in the state of Ohio left for Clemson in 2018.

There was a lot more to this one. This guy is a tool and I am glad that he went to Clemson. Urban didn't coddle him when he acted like a child - Dabo did. Dabo got him. Good luck with that.
As for OSU landing the best players in state - we have only lost out on the best player in Ohio 4 times in the last 20 years.
This is true but with him camping here in 6th grade is meaningful. That’s before he would be a star in middle school 7th or 8th and before he would grow into the ol he is. Ohio state and Bama will have loaded classes before him. I think it’s one to watch, we will be selective after this class
I agree, but at the risk of speaking for others, I think the problem is the perception by some that it`s a condition being placed by a recruit. " I`ll strongly consider your school if you do this for my ( fill in the blank )". Could well be, but it`s a competitive world out there.
While Alabama would technically be giving up a roster spot (a roster spot that would go to a walk-on no matter what), UA isn't giving up a scholarship.
Wouldn't be thrilled if the guy was getting a scholarship like Keenan Allen wanted for his brother, but this doesn't seem to be a big deal since it's still only a walk-on spot.

"We always talk about playing 60 minutes but this is a 60-10 game: the 60 minutes of the game and the 10 minutes in the locker room after the game that you remember for the rest of your life."
