Summary
Honesty is the best policy ... even in recruiting!
Given the recruiting trail's penchant for intrigue, the adherence to truth in recruiting can be a challenge. But it's working for the Buckeyes.
Please allow 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong to explain.
He does so via detailed updates on:
* Jantzen Dunn
* J.C. Latham
* Jack Pugh
But that's not all. Not even close. Wiltfong weighs in on Steele Chambers. Could this Buckeye Wiltfong covered extensively as he prepped in Georgia be the future of Ohio State's ground attack?
Also: Bijan Robinson ... sure hindsight is 20-20 but wow ... opportunity missed.
Spend 5ish with us today, 'Nutters!
