What are the realistic expectations for incoming transfers? For all the analysis and hype, the Buckeyes got meaningful reps from 3 guys - Igbinosun, Simmons and Ferlmann.

Carter and Malone barely played and have already been passed by younger players. Styles played as much as I expected, but far less than many hoped. Cutler was a bad take from the beginning, imho.

My takeaway is that OHST caliber players are OHST caliber players for good reason. The jump to come in from the outside and beat the players recruited and developed by the staff is really hard. Before I allow myself to get enthralled by guys from Harvard and MTSU, I want to temper my own expectations.
