Apologies to those who read this before it went to Blog Heaven.

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 11 Wide Receivers and That Team recruited 9 Wide Receivers.

Wide receiver is another position in which Ohio State has out-recruited and out-coached That Team. The only hiccup the Buckeyes have had was the year 2012 because two of the three recruits left the team early. Since then Ohio State has been stockpiling the position. The 2013 and 2014 recruits are making an early impact.
