It is just wild to me that he says a great business degree is at the top of his list and then he picks OSU.

Not shocking news by any means, but what a great kid. Good luck to him and I wish him all the best unless they play us.

Bummer. I would love to see BK stay in touch just in case, but I don't see Hilliard being a flight risk.

Package deals don't often work out, but when they do, they're fucking huge.

Damien Harris to follow.

Based on Hilliard's recruitment process, to me at least B) seems to have been the difference maker at the end of the day.

I'll say it again....

Mentioning the academics of the school a recruit selects is boilerplate language. Almost every recruit does it. Some may believe the BS but others just do it to make their mothers happy or whatever other reason.

Academics is almost never the reason a recruit is going to choose a school and we shouldn't get so offended when they mentioned ____Business School.

The most disappointing thing to me is that, after listening to Hilliard speak this morning, I don't think we ever really had a chance. I thought we had a legit shot and felt good about his recruitment since his profile was created on here over a year ago, but it sounds like he was headed to OSU the whole time.

Disappointed with his selection but wish him the best. Is there any chance for a flip?

I really believe that anything is possible with a 10-11 win season. If we make it to the playoff, I still think he's a flight risk.
