Ohio State has dominated That Team on the football field during the past decade. How have the Buckeyes fared against them in recruiting since 2012? Over the next couple of weeks I will compare Ohio State's and That Team's recruiting by position during the Urban Meyer era.
Ohio State recruited 9 Athletes and That Team recruited 6 Athletes.

When I watched Darron Lee and New Albany play Jaron Dukes (That Team recruit) and Marion Franklin in the OHSAA playoffs at Gahanna, Lee was the best player on the field. It was not even close.

Tyvis Powell has made several key interceptions during his career. Hopefully he has learned not to return an interception at the end of a game.
