June Recruiting

428

The NCAA moratorium on scheduled campus visits has ended.  I don’t know the exact date, but when things shut down in March 2020, they have remained off limits until June 1st 2021.

With all of the 2021 class who missed out on visits, plus 2022 recruits finally able to hit campuses, this will be a busy month for OSU and every other team.

I’ll try to keep a running tab on updates as they come through this week.  I wouldn’t read a whole lot into the unofficial vs official visits.  Most local guys are coming on unofficial visits, only because it doesn’t make a ton of sense to use up an official visit when you can easily drive a few hours to see campus.  This way they can save their official visits for further away locations, if needed.  They also could still come to OSU later in the fall to catch a game on an official visit.

So far, week 1 visitors include(subject to change):

June 1st:

Demarcus Houston – 2023 CB from Albany, OR (unofficial)

June 2nd:

Kage Casey – 2022 OL from Clackamas, OR (unofficial)

June 4th – 6th:

Jerrale Powers – 2022 TE/WR from Duncanville, TX

Quincy Wright – 2022 DT from Duncanville, TX

Jimmy Valsin – 2021 WR Commit from Duncanville

Easton Mascarenas – 2021 LB Commit from Mission Viejo, CA (unconfirmed at this point)

Cole Prusia – 2022 WR Commit from Tualatin, OR (unofficial)

Jason White – 2021 OL Commit from Orange, CA

Dave Iuli – 2022 OL from Puyallup, WA (unofficial)

Hudson Cedarland – 2022 OL from Gig Harbor, WA (unofficial)

Jack Velling – 2022 TE from Seattle, WA (unofficial)

Mark Nabou – 2022 OL from Seattle, WA (unofficial)

Ian Hershey – 2022 K from Idaho (unofficial)

The Mitch Canham Conundrum

173

I know we can’t (won’t) fire him because we’re OSU, and we’ll hide behind “we just don’t have the money,” but this is what we’re dealing with:

In economics and business decision-making, a sunk cost is a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. Sunk costs are contrasted with prospective costs, which are future costs that may be avoided if action is taken.

Mitch is a sunk cost. We can’t recover his salary, but we can avoid prospective costs (loses) by cutting bait now. Those costs are all future lost revenue as the program declines. It’s also our National dynasty. That’s what’s on the line.

You’re always better cutting bait the moment you realize the person/situation is not the answer. I know OSU won’t do this. The topic won’t even be brought up by the media or AD. If the media gets a backbone and asks tough questions, then money and the need to be patient will be accepted by fans as valid reasons.

It was encouraging in the comment section today that many saw the light and were rightfully critical of Canham.

Taking out TCU made the season respectable. But as I mentioned, this was something the players did in spite of their HC making decisions that were not in their best interest.
