- 1:04Speaker 1: get for Ohio State.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Jet is something special. He's something special. And Tony and
- 1:09Speaker 2: I were talking about him not too long ago on
- 1:12Speaker 2: a recruiting show we were doing, and I think we
- 1:14Speaker 2: were both under the impression that, yeah, he's going to
- 1:17Speaker 2: be good. He's Marvin's little brother, he's ranked highly. How
- 1:21Speaker 2: good is he really? And then we both had kind
- 1:24Speaker 2: of just recently watched him and we're kind of just
- 1:26Speaker 2: shocked to tell each other, like what we thought about
- 1:29Speaker 2: just how ridiculously good this kid was. His catch radius,
- 1:34Speaker 2: his route running. Marvin Senior talked about him today, talked
- 1:38Speaker 2: about his competitiveness, maybe the difference maker. He's just kind
- 1:43Speaker 2: of got it all. At six' two one seventy five
- 1:45Speaker 2: is catch, radius is as big as his older, brother
- 1:48Speaker 2: who's a little bit. Bigger and he's still, growing, right you,
- 1:52Speaker 2: know just finished his sophomore. Year also a stat, stuffer
- 1:56Speaker 2: fifteen touchdowns last, year including four in the biggest game
- 1:59Speaker 2: of the year Against Saint, francis an incredible opponent with GREAT,
- 2:02Speaker 2: dbs ten touchdowns as a freshman when he was much,
- 2:06Speaker 2: smaller playing good football In. Philadelphia Saint Joe's prep is
- 2:10Speaker 2: a good. League they, play you, know they play img
- 2:13Speaker 2: sometimes like they play a really tough schedule And jet
- 2:16Speaker 2: just steals the. Show Saint thomas aquinas they played last.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Year so going Against jade And, Carey buckeyes commit here
- 2:22Speaker 2: in the class of twenty twenty. Seven but just a.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Shocker nobody expected this at. All this was not something
- 2:28Speaker 2: that was scheduled or anything anybody knew anything.
- 2:30Speaker 1: About and you, know it's, interesting you were talking about
- 2:34Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff, there which is just a lot
- 2:36Speaker 1: of boxes that can be. Checked you never know when
- 2:38Speaker 1: you get a receiver out of high, School LIKE i
- 2:41Speaker 1: go back To Julian, fleming for, example who was a
- 2:43Speaker 1: number one wide receiver in the, class but played in
- 2:46Speaker 1: an offense where they really didn't throw the, ball so
- 2:47Speaker 1: it was a lot of projection and a lot of,
- 2:49Speaker 1: camp and it was just kind of, like, well what
- 2:52Speaker 1: is that and how is it going to translate to
- 2:53Speaker 1: the college. Level and he turned into a good college,
- 2:55Speaker 1: receiver but probably didn't live up to the billing of
- 2:58Speaker 1: that number one wide receiver in the. Class Jet harrison
- 3:01Speaker 1: kind of checks some of those boxes for. You, where you,
- 3:03Speaker 1: know we talk about this with guys Like Brock, boyd
- 3:06Speaker 1: where you're playing a big School texas high school football,
- 3:10Speaker 1: schedule so you're playing really good college level competition somewhat.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Regularly Now Eastern, Pennsylvania philadelphia is not Exactly, texas but
- 3:18Speaker 1: when you're playing a really national schedule As Saint joe's
- 3:22Speaker 1: does that kind of checks some of those. Boxes and
- 3:25Speaker 1: then also when your dad is AN Nfl hall Of
- 3:27Speaker 1: fame wide receiver known for his work ethic and his excellent,
- 3:31Speaker 1: work you, know excellent work and attention to detail and
- 3:33Speaker 1: all that kind of, stuff and your older brother is
- 3:36Speaker 1: a current top FIVE nfl draft pick wide receiver in
- 3:39Speaker 1: THE Nfl All american And Ohio state superstar known for
- 3:43Speaker 1: his incredible work, ethic it just feels like there's always
- 3:46Speaker 1: some uncertainty with guys coming out of high. School, man
- 3:49Speaker 1: this feels like one where it just checks an awful
- 3:51Speaker 1: lot of.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Boxes you're, Right, Tom it feels like the floor is
- 3:56Speaker 2: ridiculously high when we talk About, jet who is rival
- 4:00Speaker 2: number one overall player in the country at this point
- 4:02Speaker 2: in the, cycle and, yeah all those boxes. Checked in
- 4:06Speaker 2: addition to, that when we look at the guys That
- 4:08Speaker 2: o'll Have states bringing, in we've kind of seen a
- 4:10Speaker 2: shift as you bring up The Julian fleming thing to
- 4:13Speaker 2: production over. Trades if you can get them, both that's,
- 4:16Speaker 2: great but. Production you look At Blake, wong they just
- 4:19Speaker 2: lost To byu same, way seventeen hundred yard like twenty
- 4:23Speaker 2: touchdown kid Dreck Quaidon guildford last year was a stat
- 4:26Speaker 2: stuff for In. Indiana they're they're definitely leaning towards the
- 4:30Speaker 2: production model as a as what they want coming in
- 4:34Speaker 2: And jet is gonna have a ridiculous junior and senior
- 4:37Speaker 2: year if the freshman or sophomore ones are any. Indication
- 4:42Speaker 2: but you love to hear the work. Ethic you love
- 4:45Speaker 2: also that it looked like at one point this might
- 4:47Speaker 2: go well into the recruiting season and he might be
- 4:51Speaker 2: one of these guys we were having a HUGE dgg
- 4:54Speaker 2: style conversation about because he went and Visited oregon In,
- 4:58Speaker 2: miami what do they have in? Common we all know the.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Deal when you bring those two guys into, it it
- 5:05Speaker 2: looks like. Trouble it looks like we're dealing with a
- 5:08Speaker 2: big time money style recruitment and not the. Case he
- 5:12Speaker 2: wanted to shut it, down said he saw everywhere he
- 5:15Speaker 2: needed to, see and he went to the places he
- 5:19Speaker 2: thought could DEVELOP nfl wide, receivers Picked Ohio state and that's.
- 5:22Speaker 2: IT i don't think there's going to be any more
- 5:25Speaker 2: buzz or similar to The Chris Henry junior Or Jeremiah
- 5:29Speaker 2: smith recruitments where it gets down to the final six
- 5:32Speaker 2: months and there's a you, know fake stories here or,
- 5:36Speaker 2: there or maybe slightly real but embellished to make it
- 5:40Speaker 2: look like he's a potential flip. Target it just feels
- 5:42Speaker 2: like this is going to be a, seamless, easy breezy
- 5:45Speaker 2: one for the Buck, eys and thank. Goodness, Essentially jack
- 5:48Speaker 2: grew up as A buckeye fan right from the Time marvin.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Committed he was probably twelve years, old so he was
- 5:54Speaker 2: as invested In Ohio state's success watching his brother go
- 5:57Speaker 2: through the program as any one of us. Fans and
- 6:01Speaker 2: that is pretty. Cool. Man jet's a buck, Guy.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Yeah yes he, is and now he. Is he sort
- 6:07Speaker 1: of continues a streak of five star wide receivers At
- 6:10Speaker 1: Ohio state has in a number of. Classes twenty twenty
- 6:12Speaker 1: five they Got Quincy, porter who is no longer At ohios.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Date but twenty twenty four they Got Jeremiah. Smith twenty twenty,
- 6:18Speaker 1: six they Got Chris Henry. Junior twenty twenty, seven they've
- 6:22Speaker 1: Got Jamiir. Brown. Now twenty twenty, eight you Got Jet.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Harrison twenty twenty, nine you Got Austin. MILLER i know
- 6:28Speaker 1: there was a lot of concern When Brian hartline. Left you,
- 6:31Speaker 1: know is a wide receiver recruiting going to fall off
- 6:34Speaker 1: the edge of the edge of the, map you? Know
- 6:36Speaker 1: or the fact that this year twenty twenty, seven very
- 6:38Speaker 1: clearly they're spending a lot more of their resources in
- 6:41Speaker 1: terms of developing the. Trenches, so, okay is that going
- 6:44Speaker 1: to hurt the wide receiver recruiting At Ohio? State and you,
- 6:47Speaker 1: know this is not perfect forever for the foreseeable, future
- 6:50Speaker 1: but it sure seems like maybe people can take the
- 6:53Speaker 1: fan base can take a little bit of a exhale
- 6:56Speaker 1: at this point on the recruiting at the wide receiver,
- 6:59Speaker 1: position where it's at least going to be pretty good
- 7:03Speaker 1: for the next few.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Years the power of the block oh is pretty ridiculous
- 7:09Speaker 2: at this point in. Time when we talk about The
- 7:12Speaker 2: Ohio state wide receiver, Room Austin miller that the number
- 7:15Speaker 2: one wide, RECEIVER i think when they haven't even ranked
- 7:18Speaker 2: this class, yet BUT i think he'll be the number
- 7:20Speaker 2: one when they debut the, rankings potentially the number one.
- 7:23Speaker 2: Overall this is a guy who Had Ohio state in
- 7:26Speaker 2: his top three schools before he'd ever even talked To Ohio.
- 7:28Speaker 2: STATE i, mean it's just that is the poll even
- 7:31Speaker 2: without heartline to guys About Ohio state And Jet. Harrison
- 7:35Speaker 2: obviously having that in was. Great it's just like when
- 7:37Speaker 2: we look At Cortes. Hankton if these two commitments stick
- 7:43Speaker 2: in one week's, time he will have doubled his number
- 7:46Speaker 2: of five star commitments then he had in the past
- 7:49Speaker 2: eight years AT lsu And, georgia two very powerful. Programs
- 7:53Speaker 2: High state's just different when it comes to wide.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Receivers so now the question is who is going to
- 7:58Speaker 1: be throwing him the Ball Jet harrison in that class
- 8:00Speaker 1: of twenty twenty. Eight right, now there's still some lingering,
- 8:03Speaker 1: question but who the quarterback for twenty twenty seven is
- 8:05Speaker 1: going to. Be that's still a little bit up in the.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Air we will have a show one way or the
- 8:08Speaker 1: other on that when that decision gets. Made But Ohio,
- 8:11Speaker 1: state we were at all those camps back In june
- 8:14Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks where they brought in just
- 8:16Speaker 1: a ton we should the parade of top ten quarterbacks,
- 8:19Speaker 1: nationally and it feels Like Ohio state is in on
- 8:22Speaker 1: a lot of really intriguing names on that class.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Too, yeah when we look at that, class we're looking
- 8:27Speaker 2: At Donald tabron out of Cast tech up In. Michigan,
- 8:31Speaker 2: boy he was, Excellent Chris vargas and Up Ty. Snell
- 8:36Speaker 2: all these are all the top. Guys and it seems
- 8:39Speaker 2: pretty clear that no matter what happens With Brady, edmonds
- 8:42Speaker 2: whether he sticks With Ohio state flips TO, ucla which
- 8:46Speaker 2: we'll probably find out here in the next, week what
- 8:49Speaker 2: he's gonna do, HERE i don't Think Ohio state is
- 8:52Speaker 2: going to end up. With if he ends up flipping
- 8:54Speaker 2: another top guy in this, class it'll probably be another
- 8:57Speaker 2: guy like A Luke fahe quality quarterback but similarly. Rated
- 9:01Speaker 2: but this class of twenty twenty, EIGHT i think is
- 9:04Speaker 2: when they go all in to get one of these top,
- 9:06Speaker 2: dogs and one of those three guys any one of
- 9:11Speaker 2: them would certainly fit the bill as we saw them.
- 9:14Speaker 2: All they're the real. Deal but they're definitely going to
- 9:18Speaker 2: take the big swing. Here but you, Know brady at
- 9:21Speaker 2: the time was a big swing as. Well things. CHANGE
- 9:24Speaker 2: i think what we're seeing is and this is Something
- 9:26Speaker 2: Ryan day, lamented was how early you were having to
- 9:29Speaker 2: get those quarterbacks in the. Class And, brady he was
- 9:32Speaker 2: actually earlier than most of, them the first of the
- 9:34Speaker 2: top twenty rated quarterbacks in that class to. Commit but
- 9:38Speaker 2: it feels like these guys are waiting a little bit
- 9:40Speaker 2: longer for this cycle twenty seven and twenty eight to.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Commit and that's a great thing For Ryan day and
- 9:48Speaker 2: for the quarterback evaluators that they don't have to get
- 9:51Speaker 2: in on it so early with those offers and accept
- 9:53Speaker 2: commitments from guys when you know they're not sure how
- 9:56Speaker 2: they're going to end.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Up so there you. Go Ohio state as a five
- 10:00Speaker 1: star wide receiver for twenty twenty, eight number one wide
- 10:03Speaker 1: receiver in the, Nation Jet. Harrison Ohio state has had
- 10:06Speaker 1: a five star wide receiver in twenty twenty, Three Brandon
