4 Star OT Aaron Thomas Flips from tOSU to Minnesota!!!

3 lineman in the top 50, along with some great backs coming in, sounds like a winning recipe. Say what you want about PJ but he could sell a ketchup popsicle to a women in white gloves!
 

I guarantee the pitch to him was we are pretty good. We have a young quarterback and talent with the skill players. Our defense is pretty dang good as well. That said, we need offensive alignment that can start from day one next year. If you commit to us, you will be starting.
 

Heck of an offer list! Kind of opposite of the last few where they were in lesser programs moving up (North Dakota to Gophers). Not often a greater program (tOSU) down to us.

That’s because this isn’t PJs least talented team, not even close. They are just young.

Fair enough. It depends on your definition of "talented". I was referring to my opinion that this team in terms of player by player effectiveness on the football field, is Fleck's worst team (perhaps not counting year "0"). I get it that a 7th grader future NFLer may be uber talented but wouldn't be a very good power conference football player at the moment. That makes the current team Fleck's "least talented" to me (excluding year 0). We'll see how many among this team find their way to the NFL, as it has its work cut out for itself compared to recent teams that have sent along a bunch.
 



Ohio State has two other high 4-star Tackle recruits from Ohio in the same class. This could be a playing time thing...which would make sense.

I think there is will be quite a few players from this roster in the NFL. But probably only one after this season - Anthony Smith.
