What a difference a matter of several months makes... 

It seemed like yesterday the Buckeyes were way behind the arms race with NIL, getting decommits more routinely than BOOMs!, and kind of lost in the shuffle of CFB D1 recruiting...

Now all of a sudden momentum feels like it's flipped on it's head and the Buckeyes are in the driver's seat for a lot of higher end prospects both within the Ohio border and beyond.

My question is, anyone have any thoughts on what changed? Was it just an ebb and a flow and this was bound to happen? Or did the Buckeye admin staff and coaches get a handle on NIL, what it means, and how to best utilize it to show a prospect how much better off they would be at a program like Ohio State as opposed to the Miami's and Texas A&M's of the world who will throw them a bag from the onset when they arrive, but not really develop them into a pro prospect in the end?
