Sure, if an Ohio State offer comes late to an established Ohio kid then all the leg work a guy like Archie at UD, or whomever, did means nothing if that kid's heart is with the state school.

Archie was a master at getting in on kids early and making an impression and staying on them. I agree that AG has not been out of the game long and still knows many of the same AAU coaches and the fertile high schools/high school coaches he's worked with..
I agree that they are starting to recruit kids earlier, but we are not nearly as behind on the recruiting trail as you describe. All 3 assistants, as well as Hertz, had roles where they recruited or helped identify recruits at their past positions. As far as we know, they already built up relationships with quite a few players. And while it's good to get in on a player early, the heavy duty part of recruiting players is still the summer before their senior year.
