@TCalBIP Possibly but having one offer or one opportunity in HS does something to you. Kid most likely has a lot of loyalty to Oregon State.
Sometimes it's not about the money, it's about sending a message.
Yes he most likely loses some money but how often do we see guys leave a program for money and the kid doesn't play the same in a different system. You make money on the front end but lose out on it in the backend because it hurts draft stock. It happens every year.
Everybody is freaking out about the but obviously he has some loyalty to OSU, given they were his only offer. That means something.
From the prospect of program building & loyalty its a genius move. This will be a great recruiting/retention tool & will silence outside noise.

Recruiting. Now when they go out and tell higher caliber players they are building something special. Honestly it's a really good idea. Also helps with retaining the guys the do have that could be a portal risk.
@ilannfl18 Statically and if you factor in wins in your list is dog shit. I guess if you're factoring in past performance and how much you like the QB it's still shit.
People are trashing him about the announcement but I think his dad was handling that situation & most likely every team with money was blowing them up making them offers.
