OSU recruits well enough as is, but then when you completely choke on the biggest of stages, talented kids that should have played for Michigan end up playing for OSU. That only makes it harder to beat them down the road, because a 5 star that should be making plays in the Game for Michigan is now doing it against you.

The Harrison recruitment goes down as one of the biggest losses in recent memory when you consider the circumstances. Basically, the result was so embarrassing that it changed his entire recruitment. The fact he elevated PSU isn't just a total shot at UM, but again shows you how much he didn't want to go to OSU, and how he longed for some other school to confirm that he was making the right choice leaving the state.

So in 2-3 years, if Harrison lives up to the hype, he could directly swing another game in OSU's favor, which could lead to another 4/5 star down the road choosing OSU.

Believe it or not, at one point, Michigan consistently beat OSU in the recruiting rankings.
