7 Things To Know About The 2025 Ohio State Football Team · Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeye Tomorrow Morning for Wednesday, July second, I'm
0:03
Speaker 1: your host, Tom or the Texas game in fifty nine days,
0:06
Speaker 1: the game against Michigan in one hundred and fifty days.
0:08
Speaker 1: If you're planning your next event, make it unforgettable with
0:11
Speaker 1: Grateful Griddle, Columbus's favorite food truck serving up Smashburger's gourmet
0:15
Speaker 1: sandwiches and good vibes. You can book your catering today
0:18
Speaker 1: at gratefulgriddleoah dot com. So on today's show, we're doing
0:22
Speaker 1: a little bit of audience service. This is a question
0:25
Speaker 1: that we got as part of our multiple audio listener
0:28
Speaker 1: question shows on the Buckeye Weekly podcast feed, and this
0:31
Speaker 1: one was a long enough one that we thought, you know,
0:34
Speaker 1: you know what, We're going to push that over to
0:35
Speaker 1: the morning show. We may drop it in the Buckeye
0:37
Speaker 1: Weekly Feed as a bonus show as well. We'll see.
0:39
Speaker 1: But it was from at S. H. Wilson twenty four
0:43
Speaker 1: and he says, let's pretend the last time I consumed
0:46
Speaker 1: any Buckeye news was the week after the Natty? What
0:48
Speaker 1: did I miss? Give me the bullet points. I'm a
0:51
Speaker 1: busy man. Someone else who is a busy man that
0:53
Speaker 1: is Tony Gertaman of Buckeyehuddle dot Com. Tony, I tried
0:57
Speaker 1: to put together a little bit of a timeline, and
0:59
Speaker 1: it's like, boy, a lot has happened since you and
1:01
Speaker 1: I walked out of Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta on
1:05
Speaker 1: the night of January twentieth or the early morning hours
1:07
Speaker 1: of the twenty first. Let's start with the guys who
1:10
Speaker 1: left Ohio State and who subsequently found homes at other schools.
1:15
Speaker 1: There were guys who left after the fall and found
1:18
Speaker 1: homes earlier, so presumably you know about those. Here're the
1:22
Speaker 1: guys that we need to fill you in on who
1:24
Speaker 1: left after that. Devin Brown going to cal Calvin Simpson
1:28
Speaker 1: Hunt going to Baylor, George Fitzpatrick going to Kansas State,
1:31
Speaker 1: Hero Canoe going to Texas, air Noland going to South Carolina,
1:35
Speaker 1: and Sam Williams Stixon leaving Ohio State to come back
1:38
Speaker 1: to Ohio State. I think maybe the most interesting one
1:42
Speaker 1: there is Hero Canoe, who number one plays a position
1:46
Speaker 1: in Ohio State would really probably love to have another
1:49
Speaker 1: proven player at and number two is going to play
1:52
Speaker 1: at a team that is coming to Columbus in Week
1:54
Speaker 1: one of this season.
1:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think there are also rumors or I
1:59
Speaker 2: don't even know if he said this, but if he
2:01
Speaker 2: had known Jim Knowles was leaving that maybe he wouldn't
2:04
Speaker 2: have left Ohio State. And so that's going to be,
2:07
Speaker 2: like you said, it's going to be somebody that they
2:09
Speaker 2: see again and a position that they couldn't afford to lose,
2:12
Speaker 2: and was a bit of a surprise that they did
2:14
Speaker 2: lose it. But then you look at like a Devin Brown,
2:17
Speaker 2: who's got a really good opportunity at Cal playing in
2:21
Speaker 2: the acc just like Cayle McCord did the year before,
2:24
Speaker 2: as we all know, but cal Cal's starting quarterback went
2:28
Speaker 2: to Indiana, so there's an opening there. I'm looking forward
2:31
Speaker 2: to seeing what he can do over the course of
2:33
Speaker 2: a season. And frankly, like all of these guys that
2:35
Speaker 2: you mentioned, when I flipped through like my peel still
2:38
Speaker 2: Phil Steel Magazine, it's like you're like, where's that Ohio
2:42
Speaker 2: State player projected? Where's that former Buckeye projected it? And
2:45
Speaker 2: as he generally does, he projects all of them to
2:48
Speaker 2: start because they came from Ohio State, like Calvin Simpson
2:50
Speaker 2: Hunt going to Baylor, where you know he he had
2:56
Speaker 2: some good moments at Ohio State in camps, but then
2:58
Speaker 2: Aaron Aaron Scott passed by last year. Now is basically
3:01
Speaker 2: the end of it for him. So it's the interesting
3:05
Speaker 2: the opportunities, the renewed opportunities for these guys is gonna
3:08
Speaker 2: be fun to watch for sure.
3:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you gave a little bit of a spoiler there,
3:13
Speaker 1: because we have not gotten to the Jim Knowles news yet.
3:16
Speaker 1: First we got to talk about the championship celebration that
3:18
Speaker 1: happened inside Ohio Stadium the Saturday afternoon after the National
3:22
Speaker 1: Championship game. Good times, great vibes. Everyone's kind of looking
3:26
Speaker 1: around and going, all right, well, who is it here? Huh?
3:29
Speaker 1: That's interesting. And one of the people that wasn't there
3:31
Speaker 1: was Jim Knowles, And boy has there been some back
3:33
Speaker 1: and forth on why that did or didn't happen since then.
3:36
Speaker 1: But not long we covered that, we recorded our shows,
3:41
Speaker 1: we walked out of the stadium, and by the time
3:43
Speaker 1: we got home the news was officially breaking.
3:45
Speaker 2: Yeah.
3:45
Speaker 1: Turns out Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Noles was not
3:48
Speaker 1: at the State at the Ohio Stadium event, but he
3:52
Speaker 1: is on his way to State College to be the
3:54
Speaker 1: new defensive coordinator for James Franklin and penn State.
3:57
Speaker 2: And really the aftermath of this where we had some
4:00
Speaker 2: articles some interviews with him in the past couple of
4:02
Speaker 2: months where he's the first coach I've ever heard mentioned
4:05
Speaker 2: I did basically, I did this for the money. It
4:07
Speaker 2: was it was about the money. Everybody else will tell
4:10
Speaker 2: you it's not about the money. This was famously about
4:13
Speaker 2: the money. And yet somehow maybe if he would have
4:16
Speaker 2: been invited to the celebration event, maybe he would have stayed.
4:21
Speaker 2: I doubt it, but a lot of drama there but
4:25
Speaker 2: ended up doing what. He's from Pennsylvania, So go ahead
4:29
Speaker 2: and fault him for going back to his home state,
4:31
Speaker 2: although maybe a more realistic homecoming would have been going
4:36
Speaker 2: to Temple. You know, let's could you fault him if
4:38
Speaker 2: he goes to Temple a Philly guy or you know,
4:41
Speaker 2: Saint Joseph's or whatever, Drexel. Maybe I don't know.
4:44
Speaker 1: But.
4:46
Speaker 2: It's it's an interesting situation. It's rare where you lose
4:52
Speaker 2: a guy to a lateral move in conference. I don't
4:57
Speaker 2: know how often that happens. At Ohio State. We kind
4:59
Speaker 2: of sut with like Al Washington going you know, Michigan,
5:04
Speaker 2: Ohio State, Notre Dame, that sort of thing. But rarely
5:07
Speaker 2: does Ohio State lose guys laterally, and they've done it
5:10
Speaker 2: with Tony Alfred and they seem to have picked up. Okay,
5:14
Speaker 2: now that happened way before this timeline. I'm just trying
5:16
Speaker 2: to keep everything, keep everything straight. But yeah, that's gonna be.
5:20
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting to watch to see what Penn
5:23
Speaker 2: State does because their defenses have been really really good,
5:25
Speaker 2: certainly better I would say, the Ohio State's defense when
5:29
Speaker 2: Jim Nalls took over.
5:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, you figure that the Penn State defense
5:35
Speaker 1: should be a little better this year, but that was
5:37
Speaker 1: not really the side of the ball where you had
5:38
Speaker 1: major questions for them last year. So we will see
5:42
Speaker 1: how that all goes. And boy, that's gonna be. There's
5:44
Speaker 1: gonna be some interesting storylines the week of that Ohio
5:47
Speaker 1: State Penn State game this year. So he was not
5:49
Speaker 1: the only coach to leave the Ohio State coaching staff.
5:52
Speaker 1: That was the only one that went for something of
5:54
Speaker 1: a lateral move. The other two Justin Fry and Chip Kelly,
5:56
Speaker 1: They both headed off to the NFL. Chip Kelly the
5:59
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator for the Raiders. Dustin Fry the new
6:02
Speaker 1: offensive line coach with the Arizona Cardinals, and he will
6:05
Speaker 1: have some familiar faces joining him in about two months
6:09
Speaker 1: in reality, and in about eight or ten minutes or
6:12
Speaker 1: so on this show. We'll get to them a little later.
6:14
Speaker 1: But then that brings in the new coaches. Tyler Bowen
6:17
Speaker 1: the new offensive line coach at Ohio State, Brian Hartline
6:20
Speaker 1: adds the offensive coordinator title, Matt Patricia going to taking
6:25
Speaker 1: over as the defensive coordinator, and then Billy Fessler taking
6:29
Speaker 1: over as the quarterback coach because I added a spot
6:32
Speaker 1: because Brian Hartline kind of took over Chip Kelly's role.
6:35
Speaker 1: So I think, to me though, certainly, the one of
6:38
Speaker 1: these that inspired the most conversation at the time was
6:41
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia, And I think there was a lot of
6:43
Speaker 1: consternation and a lot of maybe concern over Matt Patricia
6:48
Speaker 1: being you know, boy, how is this guy going to
6:50
Speaker 1: fit in the college realm? So far, man, I don't
6:54
Speaker 1: have any big concerns, and you know, there's a lot
6:56
Speaker 1: of schematic stuff that we haven't seen yet. But with
6:59
Speaker 1: as my as many questions as they were about how
7:02
Speaker 1: is this guy going to recruit, he hasn't had any
7:04
Speaker 1: you know, exposure to college in twenty years. It seems
7:08
Speaker 1: like it's so far, so good with him.
7:11
Speaker 2: Yep. And then ask again after the Texas game, or
7:14
Speaker 2: actually ask again after the first quarter of the Texas
7:16
Speaker 2: game to find out whether he should keep his job
7:19
Speaker 2: or lose it. And you mentioned a bunch of names there,
7:22
Speaker 2: and you know, like Billy Festerl was going to be
7:26
Speaker 2: a quarterbacks coach in twenty twenty four at UCLA. He's
7:31
Speaker 2: he's relatively unproven. Everybody talks highly about him. Brian Hartline
7:35
Speaker 2: never called plays before. That's another aspect here where we're
7:39
Speaker 2: going to find out how good he is at that.
7:41
Speaker 2: Matt Patricia, as you said, it was it all Bill Belichick,
7:45
Speaker 2: he's been having the time of his life at Ohio
7:47
Speaker 2: State from watching him and seeing the way he interacts
7:50
Speaker 2: with players and recruits. And then Tyler Bowen hasn't coached
7:53
Speaker 2: the offensive line since like twenty seventeen. So there's you
7:57
Speaker 2: threw a bunch of names out there, and it's like
7:59
Speaker 2: there is reason for maybe an eyebrow raise or some
8:04
Speaker 2: concern for each one of those guys. And yet so
8:08
Speaker 2: far with no games being played. The reviews have been
8:11
Speaker 2: pretty good. But and it's not just Tyler a boone
8:15
Speaker 2: on the offensive line. They brought in two other established
8:19
Speaker 2: veteran offensive line coaches to help him out, and so
8:22
Speaker 2: he's got an entire staff under him. So it's not
8:26
Speaker 2: just throwing him out to the wolves like that. They're
8:29
Speaker 2: Ryan Day's trying to give him some help and bolster
8:32
Speaker 2: an offensive line. But a lot of guys, a lot
8:35
Speaker 2: of names, new names, as you said, and I think
8:38
Speaker 2: there's another there's reason to be concerned about each of
8:42
Speaker 2: those guys, but also reason to be confident about each
8:45
Speaker 2: of those guys. You know, Billy Fessler, Ryan Day trusts him.
8:49
Speaker 2: That's enough for me, Like, that's I'm okay with that,
8:53
Speaker 2: you know. And Brian Hartline has been around Ryan Day
8:57
Speaker 2: and Chip Kelly as play calling. That's if you're going
9:01
Speaker 2: to learn under anybody, do that and then see how
9:04
Speaker 2: good you you know, that will inform how you call plays.
9:08
Speaker 2: And Mattress has won super Bowls, he's been around and
9:11
Speaker 2: Tyler Bowen, like the review has been fantastic with him,
9:15
Speaker 2: and he seems to be having the time of his
9:16
Speaker 2: life as well.
9:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know you mentioned Matt Patricia winning super bowls.
9:21
Speaker 1: He won those Super Bowls with Bill Belichick. And if
9:23
Speaker 1: you have been if you've been in a coma since
9:26
Speaker 1: the end of that National Championship game, just let me say,
9:29
Speaker 1: just go google Bill Belichick's name, and you know there
9:32
Speaker 1: will be some stories about that as well, and how
9:34
Speaker 1: things are going at North Carolina. You'll probably want to
9:37
Speaker 1: get caught up on that whole storyline as well. You're
9:39
Speaker 1: going to move on to spring football. We'll get to
9:42
Speaker 1: the questions coming out of the spring game later, but
9:45
Speaker 1: in the spring football, let's talk about just some of
9:47
Speaker 1: the new guys, some of the true freshmen, and some
9:49
Speaker 1: of the transfers who were maybe the most impressive. The
9:53
Speaker 1: three true freshmen will I have written down are running
9:55
Speaker 1: back Bo Jackson, wide receiver Quincy Porter, cornerback Devin Sanchez.
9:59
Speaker 1: There were other guys who flashed certainly as well. Those
10:02
Speaker 1: were the three true freshmen who jumped out to me.
10:04
Speaker 1: There were also some some transfers who you certainly saw
10:07
Speaker 1: and thought, Okay, yeah, there's there's gonna be some impressive
10:11
Speaker 1: production there. So who were who were maybe some other
10:14
Speaker 1: guys that jumped out to you this spring?
10:17
Speaker 2: You know, I would agree with those three freshmen that
10:19
Speaker 2: you named. I know, Logan George, the defensive end from
10:21
Speaker 2: Idaho State, had some good moments and had a good
10:23
Speaker 2: spring game, although again with if the quarterbacks aren't live,
10:27
Speaker 2: most defensive ends are going to have a good a
10:29
Speaker 2: good game.
10:30
Speaker 1: Uh.
10:31
Speaker 2: The ethan Oniona at left tackle seems to have solidified
10:35
Speaker 2: himself and won that job, which they desperately needed. And
10:39
Speaker 2: then overall, like the rest of the offensive line, I
10:41
Speaker 2: think they're they're deep, deep enough, and they have some versatility.
10:45
Speaker 2: They have a ton of versatility, I believe, and so
10:47
Speaker 2: they'll be able to make the rest of that work.
10:49
Speaker 2: But you know, getting ethan on ionwa to win that job,
10:53
Speaker 2: and it's not like it's not been given to him,
10:55
Speaker 2: it's it's not been declared that he's won it, Like
10:58
Speaker 2: nobody has been named a starter yet on the offensive line,
11:02
Speaker 2: but it sure seems like he's going to be the
11:04
Speaker 2: guy there. So I think that is key. And of
11:07
Speaker 2: course Max player at tight end coming in from Purdue
11:10
Speaker 2: is going to have some big moments this season because
11:15
Speaker 2: of the amount of attention that is going to be
11:17
Speaker 2: focused on everybody else, and we saw that I think
11:20
Speaker 2: in the spring game where he had a touchdown right
11:22
Speaker 2: down the seam when the defense is more focused on
11:25
Speaker 2: the bio state receivers. Justifiably, but you can't forget about
11:29
Speaker 2: that guy.
11:30
Speaker 1: No, for sure, that is going to be someone that
11:32
Speaker 1: you're going to be hearing a lot more from this fall.
11:35
Speaker 1: And yeah, those would be the guys that transfers that
11:37
Speaker 1: I think we are kind of the biggest names to
11:40
Speaker 1: know in addition to those three true freshmen that we mentioned.
11:43
Speaker 1: So now heading out of the spring game, where we
11:45
Speaker 1: have now teleported forward to mid April, and you talked
11:50
Speaker 1: a decent amount about the offensive line. My sense is
11:52
Speaker 1: the offensive line is they don't necessarily haven't announced, you know,
11:57
Speaker 1: this is the guy who's going to be starting at
11:58
Speaker 1: this position. My senses, they feel reasonably good about the
12:01
Speaker 1: offensive line, and I have a think we have a
12:03
Speaker 1: pretty good sense for where guys will end up. The
12:05
Speaker 1: two questions, the bigger questions kind of remaining are number one,
12:09
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, which is still sort of an open
12:12
Speaker 1: question coming out of the spring, and number two, the
12:15
Speaker 1: defensive line and especially the depth and the interior of
12:17
Speaker 1: that defensive line. Those feel like, if you're kind of
12:20
Speaker 1: going to say, what are the two or three biggest
12:22
Speaker 1: questions on this team. It's probably those two things, and
12:26
Speaker 1: you know where exactly people fit on the offense.
12:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, for me, the biggest concern is the defensive line,
12:32
Speaker 2: and that's that's what we talked about coming out of
12:34
Speaker 2: spring and now thing has changed. Spoilers, you know, we'll
12:39
Speaker 2: talk about the rest of the timeline from April fifteenth
12:43
Speaker 2: to now, but nothing has changed much. And I know
12:48
Speaker 2: I'm getting a little ahead. But if they hadn't gone
12:50
Speaker 2: into the portal for some defensive vent help, where would
12:53
Speaker 2: they be in terms of who is behind Kenyada Jackson
12:57
Speaker 2: and Kyden Curry. Are you relying on freshmen along with CJ. Hicks?
13:00
Speaker 2: Of course, but how deep are they without going and
13:04
Speaker 2: getting help. So I think overall the defensive line, whether
13:07
Speaker 2: it's interior or exterior, is the big concern, and really
13:12
Speaker 2: I think they're fine everywhere else. Defensively, I think I
13:16
Speaker 2: think we're both very high on the corners, pretty high
13:18
Speaker 2: on the safeties. You know, youve got Caleb Downs. Their
13:21
Speaker 2: linebackers should be among the best in the nation. But
13:24
Speaker 2: it all starts up front, and that's a lot of
13:27
Speaker 2: pressure on those guys.
13:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, is that is sort of the great
13:31
Speaker 1: unanswered question right now for Ohio State, and there's plenty
13:34
Speaker 1: of consternation about that in recruiting as well. We will
13:37
Speaker 1: get there, but post spring, let's take a look at
13:41
Speaker 1: the Buckeyes. They did not lose anyone to the transfer
13:43
Speaker 1: portal in that spring portal window, which is somewhat remarkable
13:47
Speaker 1: given the amount of talent on that roster. But then
13:50
Speaker 1: in terms of the guys they brought in, they brought
13:51
Speaker 1: in four guys after that spring window. The one who's
13:54
Speaker 1: probably the biggest name and the most likely to have
13:56
Speaker 1: an impact on this year's team or a significant impact
13:58
Speaker 1: on this year's team Atkinson and edge rusher out of
14:02
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Justin Terry, an offensive lineman for West Virginia,
14:06
Speaker 1: Just Jackson Corville, he was a kicker from Ball State,
14:09
Speaker 1: and then Eli brick Handler, a quarterback from Houston Christian.
14:13
Speaker 1: To me, Atkinson is by a wide margin the one
14:16
Speaker 1: who is most likely to make a significant impact on
14:19
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Ohio State football I would agree
14:22
Speaker 1: with that.
14:23
Speaker 2: I think Corville will raise the floor, and of course
14:28
Speaker 2: they have more options, and it still may be Jaden fielding,
14:31
Speaker 2: but they've got some options there, but bo Atkinson coming
14:34
Speaker 2: in as a fourth year junior who led North Carolina
14:38
Speaker 2: and tackles for loss in sacks last year. The problem
14:41
Speaker 2: is half of his sacks and tackles for loss came
14:45
Speaker 2: into two game stretch in the middle of the season.
14:47
Speaker 2: So how consistent can he be? What can he do
14:50
Speaker 2: at Ohio State. He's a big kid, he's you know, six',
14:53
Speaker 2: five two sixty and can get after the, passer but
14:57
Speaker 2: can also just be a run stopping strong side defensive
15:00
Speaker 2: end for. You SO i think he's got some. Potential
15:03
Speaker 2: so he's gonna have to do something For Ohio. State
15:05
Speaker 2: and it's he was the top guy in the post
15:09
Speaker 2: spring portal window and they were able to go get,
15:11
Speaker 2: him and you wonder how badly they felt they needed
15:15
Speaker 2: him or was this just an, opportunity, like, hey there's interest,
15:19
Speaker 2: here what are we waiting?
15:21
Speaker 1: For, yeah he feels like someone who is going to
15:25
Speaker 1: play enough of a role this year that it probably
15:27
Speaker 1: was a little bit more of a need than a,
15:30
Speaker 1: want but you, know certainly nice to have either. Way
15:33
Speaker 1: so that's the post spring portal. Additions now on to
15:37
Speaker 1: the guys who left after the after the year for
15:40
Speaker 1: THE Nfl. Draft the that that spring, game all those
15:45
Speaker 1: guys came back and got their championship rings at halftime
15:48
Speaker 1: of that that spring. Game that was in the kind
15:50
Speaker 1: of cool to see all those guys back In columbus.
15:53
Speaker 1: Again fourteen of them ended up getting picked in THE Nfl,
15:56
Speaker 1: draft one short of THE Nfl draft record for a
15:59
Speaker 1: single single. School four guys went the first. Round A Mecca,
16:02
Speaker 1: Abuka Donovan, Jackson Tyleek, williams And Josh simmons all first round.
16:06

16:12
Speaker 1: ransom Jack, Sawyer Ty, Hamilton Jordan, Hancock Denzel, Burke Will,
16:16
Speaker 1: Howard several of those guys going to spots where they're
16:20
Speaker 1: gonna have, uh you, know Former Ohio state teammates then
16:24
Speaker 1: playing with, them you know other you. Know Josh, friar for,
16:27
Speaker 1: example is also he. Could he was a free agent
16:29
Speaker 1: signing with The Arizona cardinals where he And Donovan, jackson
16:34
Speaker 1: it Was Donovan jackson someone else one of the one
16:36
Speaker 1: of the offensive lineman went To arizona and Then Marvin
16:39
Speaker 1: harrison's there And Paris johnson's there and uh, so yeah it,
16:43
Speaker 1: was and so that'll be you know a little bit
16:45
Speaker 1: of old home. Week is there anyone who you look
16:49
Speaker 1: at from That Ohio state draft class and think that
16:52
Speaker 1: guy is in an incredible, place like exactly the perfect
16:56
Speaker 1: place to have an INCREDIBLE nfl?
16:58
Speaker 2: Career you, KNOW i don't know about. INCREDIBLE i think
17:03
Speaker 2: under the, Radar Will howard's in a good spot being
17:06
Speaker 2: At pittsburgh With Aaron rodgers who has like one year left,
17:10
Speaker 2: basically and then you can See Will howard, battling but
17:14
Speaker 2: they're probably going to go ahead and draft a quarterback.
17:16
Speaker 2: Anyway Trevon henderson being able to JUST i think he's
17:23
Speaker 2: gonna get a lot of action this year and you
17:25
Speaker 2: drafted the guy in the second round to use, him
17:27
Speaker 2: and he's going to be fun to, WATCH i. Think but,
17:31
Speaker 2: Overall Donovan jackson's versatility is going to be you, know
17:36
Speaker 2: we talk about, it BUT i think his strength is
17:38
Speaker 2: gonna have to be at guard and that's what they're.
17:40
Speaker 2: Draft that's what he's being drafted to. Do so that's
17:43
Speaker 2: what he needs to. Be and it was great what
17:45
Speaker 2: he was able to do At Ohio state and he'll
17:46
Speaker 2: forever be remembered for. That but in THE, nfl he
17:49
Speaker 2: better be a really darn good guard because that's what
17:52
Speaker 2: he's being drafted to. Do so, YEAH i.
17:54
Speaker 1: Think Donovan jackson is one of those guys WHERE i
17:57
Speaker 1: would not bet against him at any point after watching
18:00
Speaker 1: what he did got getting thrown into a really kind
18:02
Speaker 1: of unfair position and then making the most of it
18:05
Speaker 1: For ohios ded and route to that national. Championship probably
18:08
Speaker 1: not Someone i'm going to bet against anytime. Soon so,
18:11
Speaker 1: Okay so that ends the more on field kind of.
18:14
Speaker 1: Stuff now, there we got to talk a little bit
18:17
Speaker 1: about The house. Settlement it's we could do an hour
18:20
Speaker 1: and a half on this or we can do thirty.
18:22
Speaker 1: SECONDS i am going to choose thirty. Seconds The house
18:25
Speaker 1: setlement got. Approved it just went into effect On tuesday this,
18:28

18:33
Speaker 1: having on? Recruiting there's there currently The buckeye is currently
18:37
Speaker 1: fifth nationally in recruiting in MOST i think it was
18:40
Speaker 1: the two four to seven composite rankings nineteen. Commitments but you,
18:45
Speaker 1: know there's still plenty of drama about you know they
18:48
Speaker 1: have lost guys that they thought they, had and you,
18:51
Speaker 1: know are people sort of working around the house settlement
18:55
Speaker 1: and as there are the rules going to be, enforced
18:57
Speaker 1: and it has been a hot topic on the huddle
18:59
Speaker 1: board presented By Jeff Reeves columbus At buckey huddle dot
19:02
Speaker 1: com over the last few. Weeks you, KNOW i don't, Know,
19:06
Speaker 1: tony what is the neat easy synopsis on the house
19:09
Speaker 1: settlement and what it all means moving? Forward you can
19:13
Speaker 1: take thirty even thirty five seconds if you need.
19:15
Speaker 2: It, First i'll just Say Donovan jackson was drafted By.
19:18
Speaker 2: MINNESOTA i wanted to save you those, comments But Cody
19:21
Speaker 2: simon And Cody Simon Denzel burke were both drafted by The.
19:24
Speaker 2: Cardinals that's going to use up twenty seconds of my
19:27
Speaker 2: explanation on the house. Settlement but as the time of
19:33
Speaker 2: you know now that when we're recording this money has
19:36
Speaker 2: gone from schools to. Players now revenue sharing has, begun
19:40
Speaker 2: and players can look in their accounts and be, Like
19:43
Speaker 2: i'm pretty, happy and you have attorneys thinking you. SHOULD
19:46
Speaker 2: i could make you, happier you know, WHAT i could
19:49
Speaker 2: make some of you happier if we just sue for
19:51
Speaker 2: something or, other we'll all be. Happy and so you
19:54
Speaker 2: get revenue sharing has. BEGUN i am Still i'm trying
19:59
Speaker 2: to find answers on this in terms of how many
20:01
Speaker 2: schools have just rolled their collectives into a composite body
20:06
Speaker 2: Like Ohio state is, done or how many are still
20:08
Speaker 2: leaving them out there to go and. Operate but those
20:12
Speaker 2: deals will then have to still all go through ANIL,
20:14
Speaker 2: go which is a clearinghouse that has to the deals
20:19
Speaker 2: have to pass. Muster, basically they've got to be not
20:21
Speaker 2: can't say market rate or market value because that's not
20:24
Speaker 2: something that they're going to, use but it has to
20:26
Speaker 2: be a value in the, market you, know it has
20:29
Speaker 2: to be a rate somewhere in the market type of
20:32
Speaker 2: thing that will have to be agreed. Upon and then
20:35
Speaker 2: the question THAT i still, have And i'm trying to
20:37
Speaker 2: get this, answered can you pay recruits and IF i
20:43
Speaker 2: guess if you have a collective or if collectives are still,
20:46
Speaker 2: things then, Yes but also any company that wants to
20:51
Speaker 2: can pay recruits to do anil stuff for. Them but
20:58
Speaker 2: how much is the NIL go involved in? That AND
21:00
Speaker 2: i think these are all still questions That i'm probably
21:03
Speaker 2: not the only person trying to find some. Answers i'll
21:05
Speaker 2: just say.
21:05
Speaker 1: That, YEAH i think there are people in on campus
21:09
Speaker 1: offices trying to figure out the answers to some of
21:11
Speaker 1: those questions right, now because it seems like lots of
21:15
Speaker 1: people have opinions on how things are going or how
21:17
Speaker 1: things are going to, go and it's, LIKE i don't
21:20
