Just a few things that didn't make it into any of my #content the last couple of days.

- The sense I am getting is that C.J. Stroud is likely going to be offered this weekend. I do not expect him to jump on it if that happens. He is serious about Baylor and Oregon as well, but he'll want to come back to Ohio State for an official visit later on.

So my expectations right now on Stroud are for him to be offered (publicly or privately). Then for him to setup an official visit for November or December (possibly the PSU game, though they may opt to bring him in one of those non-game weekends in December).

Believe OSU will have a really good chance here.


- Four-star Florida safety Jaiden Francois decommitted from Miami today (for the second time). He has been linked to Ohio State previously and while I'm not totally crossing him off my radar, I'm told it's unlikely that it will be Ohio State for him now that things are back open. Francois is more of a safety prospect and I don't know that the Buckeyes are really looking to add anything there at this point. And when it comes to cornerback, obviously Ryan Watts is the focus right now for the Buckeyes (along with continuing to chase Elias Ricks). Again, not totally crossing him off my watch list, but told it's unlikely right now.
