-Ohio has most of its recruiting difficulty going against local Big Ten and Big East teams. 70% of Ohio's recruiting battles lost were against those 2 conferences.
-Ohio is winning most of its battles against the MAC and has shown in recent years ability to pull in a highly recruited MAC level player over multiple MAC schools.
-Ohio only has 2 verbals so far but both are at key program positions (RB, ILB) that are high priority to fill.
-The number of Ohio recruits with BCS offers/interest has sky rocketed since Solich became coach. It was rare that Ohio would ever throw its hat in the ring for upper level BCS player with 10-15 quality offers but now its common place.
