4-star recruit decommitted from Ohio State after Meyer didn't recognize him
Urban Meyer is one of the nation's top recruiters, but even one of the best makes mistakes.
Bruce Judson, a four-star athlete from the 2017 class, decommitted from the Buckeyes after he claimed the Ohio State head coach didn't recognize him when he was in the team facility.
Judson told Zach Abolverdi of SEC Country that he was walking with another recruit, Richard LeCounte, when Meyer failed to recognize him.
Long story short, I was walking in the hallway about to go to the indoor field and work out. He was like, 'Hey.' I looked around. 'Come here.' He was like, 'How you doing, you like your visit?' I said, 'Yeah.' Then he's like, 'What up Richard LeCounte? Are you showing this guy (Judson) around?' I was like, 'Coach, I'm showing him around.' He asked me, 'Who are you?' I told him Bruce. He said, 'Oh, Bruce Judson from Florida. The speedy guy.' I was like, 'Yeah.' He said, 'I'm glad that you're on board and glad you got up here.' After that, I knew I was de-committing.
Judson has yet to pick another school, but Meyer will certainly hope he doesn't end up haunting the Buckeyes for years at another Big Ten program.
