Buchner to Alabama made some sense. Rees recruited him and coached him, which gives him a good shot of earning the starting gig at Bama.
This doesn't make a lot of sense. I get Styles has a brother there and his dad loves them, but let's be realistic here. If he wasn't going to contribute to ND's secondary, what makes anyone think he's going to contribute to Ohio State's? The common idea is that Styles would redshirt and have 2 years, but let's be real. Is Ohio State waiting a year for him to fall into a starting gig? I think he may be overselling himself a bit.
Ohio State fans have been restless with the state of their secondary the past few years, even with the new DC that got some improved results this year. They think the team should get more from both the corner and safety positions, so taking a flyer on a family name makes sense for the team… if the fans can be trusted about the status of their defensive backfield.
