- 1:06Speaker 2: Hello, everyone, Welcome to the Skull Session Recruiting Podcast. Brought
- 1:09Speaker 2: to you by Buckeye Huddle dot Com. I'm Mark Givler,
- 1:11Speaker 2: got Tony Gerdaman here with me today, June ninth, Camp,
- 1:16Speaker 2: second one day camp of the month for Ohio State.
- 1:18Speaker 2: First of four camp days this week. We got three
- 1:20Speaker 2: camps in a in a seven on seven at Ohio
- 1:22Speaker 2: State this week. So we're gonna have a lot of recaps,
- 1:24Speaker 2: a lot of recruiting and all that good stuff on
- 1:27Speaker 2: the channel on and on bucke Huddle dot com. Tony
- 1:30Speaker 2: a miserable pint of day out there. Just it would
- 1:34Speaker 2: stop rating and then we'll start. It's pouring right now
- 1:37Speaker 2: as we're doing this after camp, but still some pretty
- 1:40Speaker 2: good stuff out there. You spend some more time with
- 1:42Speaker 2: the quarterbacks. What do you see out there?
- 1:44Speaker 1: Well, to watch Brady Edmonds a little bit more and
- 1:47Speaker 1: then also some other guys I think from Betton Louisiana
- 1:54Speaker 1: was maybe the most impressive of the group watching him
- 1:57Speaker 1: and just through a really good ball, good arm, like
- 2:00Speaker 1: you know, you know the guys were there when they
- 2:03Speaker 1: throw it, there's like no, there's no looping to it.
- 2:05Speaker 1: You know, it's like, Okay, that guy's arm is different. Yeah,
- 2:07Speaker 1: he was that he was he was accurate. So I
- 2:09Speaker 1: thought watching those two guys today and talking with Brady afterwards,
- 2:13Speaker 1: basically asking him like, so you've got two years of
- 2:17Speaker 1: high school ball left, but you are a Buckeye. What
- 2:19Speaker 1: is your role? And he's talking about recruiting, you know,
- 2:23Speaker 1: that's that's why he spent the weekend here. You know
- 2:25Speaker 1: he's doing some recruiting. He's back here on Tuesday as well.
- 2:29Speaker 1: He's trying to make sure that the twenty twenty seven
- 2:31Speaker 1: class is doing what he can to help build it.
- 2:33Speaker 1: And you know that's that's Ryan. That's Ryan Day's ideal
- 2:37Speaker 1: situation for the quarterback commute commit is to get it
- 2:40Speaker 1: done early and pick the right guy and then just
- 2:43Speaker 1: have that guy build. But he also does pretty successful
- 2:46Speaker 1: things with like the guy you know, c J. Stroud
- 2:49Speaker 1: a eleven, getting him lad where it's It doesn't always
- 2:52Speaker 1: have to be the first guy, Yeah, but when you
- 2:53Speaker 1: can and they can help lead that recruiting class, it's huge.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Yeah. Get herper receivers today. Jade Ricketts, Ohio State twenty
- 3:01Speaker 2: twenty six commit was here, nice showing getting biggers. He's
- 3:07Speaker 2: about six feet tall, but he's getting stronger. He goes
- 3:10Speaker 2: some clear progress made there on his body. You watched
- 3:12Speaker 2: a lot of Jamiir Brown twenty twenty eight Ohio State
- 3:15Speaker 2: commit What do you see how Jamiir?
- 3:17Speaker 1: You know he is he's also getting bigger in terms
- 3:20Speaker 1: of just stronger and and he's he's fantastic. And the
- 3:26Speaker 1: interesting thing that I found watching him is that as
- 3:30Speaker 1: he's doing these one on ones and the the the competitions,
- 3:35Speaker 1: if he doesn't catch it, the Ohio State defenders that
- 3:38Speaker 1: are on the sideline, like all of the assistant coaches
- 3:40Speaker 1: of the Ohio State defense, they're getting after him. They're
- 3:42Speaker 1: razzing him. Yeah, they're like lighting him up. And then
- 3:46Speaker 1: the Ohio State receivers that are there are coaching him up.
- 3:48Speaker 1: So it's like he's already part of the brotherhood, which
- 3:50Speaker 1: is you know, pressing for the young guy, like they
- 3:52Speaker 1: know who he is and they let him hear it
- 3:55Speaker 1: or they are coaching him up. Because it's it's winner
- 3:58Speaker 1: loser for the guys competing that recruits and the campers
- 4:02Speaker 1: wh Chelsea winnter lose it for the high state current
- 4:04Speaker 1: players who don't want the offense to win or the
- 4:07Speaker 1: defense to win it. So it's just interesting, interesting to
- 4:10Speaker 1: watch that interaction. And this is also the first time
- 4:13Speaker 1: that Freddie Edmunds and Jamier Brown have thrown together as well,
- 4:16Speaker 1: so there they were having some trouble with the connection
- 4:19Speaker 1: here and there, but it is there's also not ideal
- 4:22Speaker 1: day for one.
- 4:24Speaker 2: On ones, yes, and you know, getting timing down with
- 4:29Speaker 2: Jamiir on a deep ball has to be almost like
- 4:31Speaker 2: ten point three six he overthrew them. Yeah, you have
- 4:35Speaker 2: to throw that thing a mile.
- 4:36Speaker 1: He overthrew which was like I thought.
- 4:38Speaker 2: The job exactly, Like how do you I should have
- 4:41Speaker 2: asked Brady after camp, how is that's even possible? But yeah,
- 4:45Speaker 2: just a special player. Again, I conservatively go back to
- 4:49Speaker 2: like tedgin junior, but there's things he does as receiver
- 4:53Speaker 2: that are better than what Tedgan junior could do at
- 4:54Speaker 2: this point in his high school career for sure. And
- 4:56Speaker 2: it's just like you know, everyone thinks of tedgn junior.
- 4:59Speaker 2: I think of speed. Well, Jamiir Brown runs a ten
- 5:01Speaker 2: just trying a ten three six hundred meter like a
- 5:03Speaker 2: couple days ago, so there's not a speed difference. He's
- 5:06Speaker 2: definitely stronger. Like yes, you know, I again, I'm usually like,
- 5:12Speaker 2: don't overdo the hype thing, but like this is This
- 5:16Speaker 2: is pretty special.
- 5:17Speaker 1: And Jed Gidz started his Ohio State career quarter for
- 5:19Speaker 1: like a dayfore Jim Tressell moved him to offense. But
- 5:22Speaker 1: then you also do he was like quarterback. Yeah, Glenville
- 5:24Speaker 1: as well, because why give him the ball wherever however
- 5:31Speaker 1: and just let him go And yeah, like in terms
- 5:34Speaker 1: of who is more well rounded, it's like there's no competition,
- 5:40Speaker 1: Like this guy is very, very legit. Yeah.
- 5:43Speaker 2: So another guy that kind of emerged to me today.
- 5:46Speaker 2: And this is gonna be interesting with with Jamir Brown
- 5:49Speaker 2: already as one player committed for Ohio State, but you've
- 5:53Speaker 2: got twenty twenty eight, you've got Emir Lemons from Glenville
- 5:56Speaker 2: sixty three one ninety five. It's an absolute stud today.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Route running was getting coached up by Brian Hartline and
- 6:04Speaker 2: Devin Jordan. Big physical, athletic and run. He's the next
- 6:09Speaker 2: kid up at Glenville. He's already got a handful of offers. Again,
- 6:12Speaker 2: would not shock me if Ohio State were to offer
- 6:15Speaker 2: at some point down the road. I know Brian Hartline
- 6:17Speaker 2: is picking right now, not really recruiting, but it's just
- 6:22Speaker 2: nice to happen these Glenville guys again isn't it.
- 6:24Speaker 1: It is? And it went away for a while like
- 6:27Speaker 1: you were like, when's the next Oneville guy gonna come?
- 6:30Speaker 1: And then now it's it's like an annual thing again,
- 6:32Speaker 1: which it used to be way back when. And so yeah,
- 6:35Speaker 1: do you get that back. It's a bit of a
- 6:37Speaker 1: cheat code, it's a bit of a free space, and
- 6:38Speaker 1: it's something that Ohio State certainly doesn't take for granted.
- 6:41Speaker 1: But also, like like I said, I don't know if
- 6:43Speaker 1: you need to go throw an offer on a twenty
- 6:45Speaker 1: twenty eight Glenville kid right now when you've got time.
- 6:49Speaker 1: And ted get Senior certainly understands that entire thing, like
- 6:52Speaker 1: he's been a proponent of taking your time or letting
- 6:55Speaker 1: things slow down so that everybody can see his players,
- 6:58Speaker 1: and so I think he he's fine with Tom.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Let's stay at Glenville because there are some interting use today.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Jamir Perez JJ as he's known, twenty twenty six tensive
- 7:10Speaker 2: tackle committed to Florida, feels like like a week or
- 7:14Speaker 2: two ago and was here camping with the buck Eyes
- 7:18Speaker 2: ahead of his official visit this weekend. Boy, that just
- 7:22Speaker 2: that feels like a flip. That feels like a Flip's coming.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Well, when it happened, you're like, well, this because the
- 7:28Speaker 1: first thing that I thought of was Jerome Baker, not
- 7:30Speaker 1: that he was Glenville, but it was a Cleveland thing.
- 7:32Speaker 1: And yeah, the kid committed to to Florida, and it's like, boy,
- 7:35Speaker 1: that seems completely out of the blues. Certainly things will
- 7:38Speaker 1: settle and he'll be back. And this one feels that
- 7:41Speaker 1: same way where what happened, You're like, well, let's see
- 7:44Speaker 1: how things go, because you understand people getting emotional on
- 7:47Speaker 1: the visit and things like that, but it is interesting
- 7:50Speaker 1: to where why are you camping? You know, like that's
- 7:54Speaker 1: that's that's a conscious decision, and you know all of
- 7:56Speaker 1: Glenville is here camping as well.
- 7:58Speaker 2: And they'll take him like they wasn't. He didn't have
- 8:01Speaker 2: to camp to like validate an offer, like they'll take him.
- 8:04Speaker 2: So he's clearly like I don't know how else to
- 8:08Speaker 2: like we're trying this. This this is gonna happen. In
- 8:12Speaker 2: my opinion, it's gonna happen pretty soon.
- 8:14Speaker 1: If it wasn't gonna happen, would you just stay away? Right?
- 8:18Speaker 1: And it's on a Monday, I'm just gonna go to
- 8:20Speaker 1: I'll just stay home. Yeah.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Yeah, So he's very much part of this, uh, the
- 8:25Speaker 2: Glenville contingent that was here today, and so that was
- 8:28Speaker 2: again very interesting news coming out of the day. And
- 8:31Speaker 2: like I said, I'm I'm expecting some good news there
- 8:34Speaker 2: for Ohio State at some point. Uh, probably in the
- 8:36Speaker 2: very near future. We'll see, Uh, we'll see if it's
- 8:39Speaker 2: before the official or staffer it's since her Johnson was
- 8:42Speaker 2: here today, Uh, Glenville linebacker twenty it's my six fours
- 8:45Speaker 2: sore linebacker. He's got an official visit coming up to
- 8:47Speaker 2: Ohio State as well, followed by an announcement on June nineteenth,
- 8:52Speaker 2: work Dallas James Lauren nightis today again it looks like
- 8:55Speaker 2: the Glenville pipeline very much in good shape. Right now.
- 8:58Speaker 1: What do you what do you think of him? Because
- 8:59Speaker 1: I remember seeing last year and he looked like it's
- 9:01Speaker 1: just a bit of a smaller rvel reaves, Like where
- 9:03Speaker 1: is the size wise?
- 9:04Speaker 2: Now he's solid.
- 9:06Speaker 1: I mean he's in way I say smaller rvel reast
- 9:08Speaker 1: that means big linebacker.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Right, you know, he's a big guy.
- 9:10Speaker 1: He's a Mike.
- 9:11Speaker 2: He's like your classic Mike, you know, six three two
- 9:13Speaker 2: thirty two, twenty five, like big time ballhawk. I think
- 9:18Speaker 2: he's a tremendous player. He's my number one linebacker in
- 9:21Speaker 2: Ohio from well before Ohios even offered him. So I've
- 9:24Speaker 2: been kind of on that train for a while. But
- 9:26Speaker 2: again I expect good news for O highst eight there
- 9:28Speaker 2: on the nineteenth, and again him coming down in Campitel
- 9:30Speaker 2: with war nightis ahead of the official is is a
- 9:33Speaker 2: good signed. So the Glenville thing going very well. Another
- 9:36Speaker 2: interesting thing today of note Rinaldo Perez. We talked about him,
- 9:40Speaker 2: uh last time, a twenty twenty seven defensive lineman out
- 9:43Speaker 2: of Columbus Academy. He was brought back at Ohias HiT's request.
- 9:47Speaker 2: They asked him to come back. He was leading the
- 9:49Speaker 2: defensive line drills. You know, we don't know yet if
- 9:52Speaker 2: they've offered him or not that you know. It may
- 9:54Speaker 2: may be one of those deals of like, hey, let's
- 9:56Speaker 2: see your first three or four games, let's see some
- 9:58Speaker 2: film this fall. Make sure you're taking the things we're
- 10:01Speaker 2: seeing out of you now and applying them. But uh,
- 10:04Speaker 2: doesn't I mean when when you camp one day and
- 10:06Speaker 2: then they come right back for the next one at
- 10:09Speaker 2: their request. It feels like there's something maybe cooking there.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Yeah, and when they have you leading the line is
- 10:14Speaker 1: always interesting as well, and you know they can see
- 10:18Speaker 1: it more. But also they're the instruction is right there.
- 10:21Speaker 1: They're getting one on one exactly what they want to see,
- 10:24Speaker 1: what they want him to do. So that's interesting. What
- 10:29Speaker 1: what other offers you know? And in the realm does
- 10:31Speaker 1: he have right now?
- 10:32Speaker 2: Like, yeah, he's got he's got roughly a dozen offers.
- 10:35Speaker 2: And there's power fors in their IDs like NCCA to
- 10:37Speaker 2: Kentucky like those types. It's like it's kind of your
- 10:40Speaker 2: like one step yeah, maybe like your mid tier power
- 10:44Speaker 2: forwards right now. But again, he's long, he's six almost six',
- 10:48Speaker 2: five he's prest, like he works really. Hard he's got
- 10:52Speaker 2: like a motor out. There you can see him grinding
- 10:54Speaker 2: through every. Drill uh taking the, Coaching LIKE i just
- 10:58Speaker 2: it feels like some thing that's gonna. Happen they need
- 11:02Speaker 2: defensive lineman even in twenty and you talk about whatever
- 11:04Speaker 2: they do in twenty six is great, too but they
- 11:05Speaker 2: need defensive lineman down the road as. Well he's right
- 11:08Speaker 2: in your. Backyard he's got, talent he's got versatility inside,
- 11:12Speaker 2: outside like you're they love his, demeanor they love his,
- 11:16Speaker 2: attitude everything else like. This this feels like a fit
- 11:19Speaker 2: at some, point so we'll see if that happens down
- 11:23Speaker 2: the road. Here but, yeah it. Was it was another
- 11:25Speaker 2: good day here at camp. Again we got three more
- 11:28Speaker 2: of these camp, tomorrow uh seven on On, Wednesday Camp,

- 11:52Speaker 1: I always enjoyed the one on ones and just watching
- 11:54Speaker 1: the interaction With Jamir brown and the Current. Buckeyes it's
- 11:56Speaker 1: interesting to me because they were getting after him and it's,
- 11:59Speaker 1: like are you sure you wouldn't be doing that to a?
- 12:01Speaker 1: Recruit but it's like he's so, solid it's like there's
- 12:04Speaker 1: no like you're gonna scare him away by being mean to.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Him it's not like anything being, scarited but, like, yeah
- 12:09Speaker 1: he's part of the. Brotherhood and they're getting after. Him its.
