FWIW, Driskell believes once he makes a decision he'll stick to it because of the type of young man he is. He also believes that if OSU gives him a green light to commit before his decision date that he'll pick OSU.
We should expect him to decommit from ND if OSU pushes closer to ESD. If that happens I totally get it since it was basically his first choice. Given Stuckey and staff's recruiting efforts and now with CJ on board, I am sure they have contingency plans i.e. Elzy.

When did he commit?

Just to play devil's advocate, he might not want OSU even if they have room at the end. Them having WRs higher up on their board might leave a bad taste in his mouth and a chip on his shoulder.

Just to play devil's advocate again. . . right now he might want OSU, even if they have other WRs higher up on their board.

ND might change his mind.

Driskell is doing a Youtube show right now with Shaun Davis and said that Rico's mom loves ND the best.

Sinclair thinks ND is the clear leader here but wants to see what shakes out from his OSU/UGA visits
Hopefully OSU still feels good about Rogers and Inniss and then they miss out on at least one of them after Rico makes his commitment to ND.

That's crazy. And I thought Ian Book lived close to me. I would be hype to watch an N.D. commit play his H.S. senior year. Wear some N.D. gear. Nothing flashy. He's literally down the road.

Sounds like it went really well, but I still find it very hard to believe he'd turn down Ohio State if they have a WR spot to fill.

If I had a nickel for every recruit where this has been the case re: ND, I'd own a spaceship that clearly resembles that of a dong.
Shaun also said that if ND got every kid in the top 100 whose mom loved ND the most they'd get all but 2 kids. :LOL:

I am completely lost how a 4.0+ kid with an offer from Yale could go to Ohio State when the best academic school with football in the country has the #1 overall recruiting class, tons of recent on the field success, and wants you even more. No chance I'd go to Ohio State if I were him and that's unbiased. As much success as Ohio State has at receiver, it's simply because they get 5 star recruits, which he is not, hence the reason they made him their backup plan.

Chris Olave was the composite #399 player in 2018. They're not all five stars.

Hartline is the best WR coach and recruiter in the game. That's all there is to it.

I'm just wondering what transpired to make the analysts put in CB for us knowing he had two visits left with one of them being Ohio St which many think would get him if they pushed?

Either they're jumping the gun or they know OSU is confident that they're getting Inniss and Rogers.
