Phillip Daniels already linked to Ohio State, tampering?

There's a lot about this situation that we fans are unlikely to ever know. But it also seems possible that Daniels felt he should receive the same NIL compensation next year as Ersery did this year and was told that's not what he'd be receiving.
 



There's no such thing as tampering anymore Tony. Also I liked Daniels but don't think he's Ohio State good, but will see i guess
 

Anything seems to go nowadays in the world of NIL collectives.
 





Of course it is tampering but nothing will be done about it.....they are not policing for that at all in this current landscape and I guarantee guys not in the portal are being contacted all the time.
 


I can’t quite recall but didn’t KSU get some kind of punishment for tampering with Ky Thomas?

Wait....this is tampering... Meanwhile...We have, what....9 portal transfers in already, but there's no tampering on our snow-white hands?

Yes, I’m sure we sent agents to NCCU and Stoney Brook to convince these kids to enter the portal to come here…

assuming that comment was directed at my post....at no point did I say we don't do it....for all I know we could be just as guilty as everyone else.

But if you honestly believe there isn't tons of tampering going on in regards to the portal you are kidding yourself. Schools might not be the ones making the contacts but someone is doing it on their behalf, trying to induce guys into transferring.

As long as everyone is willing to stay silent about it then there are no negative consequences to the teams/collectives for doing it.

I'm reasonably sure there IS tons of tampering going on.

I'm laughing at the apparent outrage over tOSU tampering with one of ours when we had offers and visits arranged literally within hours of other players entering the portal.
 


Daniels is from Cincinnati, so he probably grew up wanting to play at Ohio State.

Didn't get an OSU offer out of high school, but now that they want him, he's going. Might have only been willing to transfer to one school.

Who is outraged besides whoever wrote that article? (I assume Tony Liebert)
 


here's my analogy:

I'm driving down the freeway doing 71 mph. Some guy passes me going 85.
and I yell into the night, "he's speeding."

But as long as there are no state troopers on the freeway, the speeder is going to keep speeding with no penalty.

so I have two choices. keep going 71, or speed up to 85 because "the other guy got away with it."
but my Minnesota brain tells me that if I speeded up to 85, that's when a cop would show up.

(my other choice - move to South Dakota......but who wants to live in South Dakota....)

You could go 73 or crank up to 76 if you're really feeling crazy!

Yeah....the "outrage" is nowhere to be found. More a resignation to the fact that we all know it is going on and we also know nothing is going to be done to stop it. And heck, we might even be taking part in some tampering ourselves for all we know.

In a perfect world there would be zero contact made with players not in the portal but that is a pipe dream in this current era of college football where it seems that pretty much anything goes and the consequences are minimal to non-existant.
 



In some respects, losing a decent offensive lineman hurts psychologically more than the other positions. O-linemen take more time to develop (more investment) and are a close team within a team. Like synchronized swimming, except on turf with 300+ lb guys trying to hurt each other......:unsure:

Anyways, QBs probably take more investment in development, but are lone wolves.

OL didn’t seem as good this year, but produced an all- American, had a true sophomore playing center, a role he had never played, and had a backup, become starter, that tOSU wants.

I think with two transfers in for competition we will be ok.
