- 0:25Speaker 1: because I just did it about an hour or two
- 0:27Speaker 1: ago with Tony Gerdaman. But we have some breaking news
- 0:29Speaker 1: on the Ohio State recruiting front. I'm joining mckevin nounifuckehuddle
- 0:33Speaker 1: dot com. Kevin Buckey's just added a commitment for their
- 0:36Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven class. And this is going to be
- 0:39Speaker 1: a name and a family that is familiar to Ohio
- 0:42Speaker 1: State fans.
- 0:43Speaker 2: Yeah, Angelo Smith, the younger brother of Jeremiah Smith out
- 0:47Speaker 2: of Fort Lauderdale, Florida Shamana Madonna High School has committed
- 0:50Speaker 2: to Ohio State. A list of other schools out there,
- 0:55Speaker 2: I mean, you know it depends on what you read
- 0:57Speaker 2: in terms of the you know, the the tweets and
- 1:01Speaker 2: everything else of who he chose Ohio State over. I mean,
- 1:05Speaker 2: you know, Miami, Oklahoma State. We're certainly involved there. Not
- 1:11Speaker 2: the same player as Jeremiah Smith in terms of body types,
- 1:14Speaker 2: but you know they're going to be good jeans there.
- 1:16Speaker 2: So I mean, you know, this is an exciting get
- 1:18Speaker 2: for Ohio State. And you know, maybe you know, maybe
- 1:23Speaker 2: maybe he's got a little bit more growth in him,
- 1:25Speaker 2: but you know, Ohio State certainly liked what they saw there,
- 1:28Speaker 2: and this is this is not a you know, well,
- 1:31Speaker 2: we're just going to We're going to offer your brother
- 1:33Speaker 2: just to just to keep you cool or something like that.
- 1:36Speaker 2: I mean, you can't. I mean, in this modern day
- 1:38Speaker 2: of number management, you can't be doing two for ones, right.
- 1:43Speaker 1: And you know, Jeremiah Smith at this point has been
- 1:46Speaker 1: at Ohio State for a couple of years now, and
- 1:49Speaker 1: I mentioned he's a twenty Angelo Smith is a twenty
- 1:51Speaker 1: twenty seven. So by the time Angelo Smith shows up
- 1:53Speaker 1: at Ohio State, I don't want to spoil anything for anyone,
- 1:56Speaker 1: but I think there's a halfway decent possibility that Jeremiah
- 1:59Speaker 1: Smith only plays three years with the Buckeyes, so they
- 2:02Speaker 1: might not even overlap on the team if in terms
- 2:05Speaker 1: of their careers, because Jeremiah Smith would be eligible for
- 2:08Speaker 1: the NFL Draft after the twenty twenty six season, and
- 2:10Speaker 1: Angelo Smith, unless he revery classifies, would not show up
- 2:14Speaker 1: into at Ohio State until twenty twenty seven. So you know,
- 2:16Speaker 1: this is this is something. This is a player that
- 2:18Speaker 1: Ohio State is obviously very familiar with, knows the family.
- 2:22Speaker 1: But it's also we have seen Angelo Smith camp at
- 2:24Speaker 1: Ohio State. We saw him here at Ohio State back
- 2:27Speaker 1: in June of twenty twenty four. The thumbnail picture for
- 2:30Speaker 1: this video on YouTube is a picture of Jeremiah Smith
- 2:33Speaker 1: next to Angelo Smith. And you know, I think you'll
- 2:36Speaker 1: look at Angela Smith and go, he looks tiny. That
- 2:38Speaker 1: picture is more than a year old. He has grown
- 2:42Speaker 1: a good bit since then, as kids tend to do
- 2:46Speaker 1: in their freshmen and sophomore years of high school. But yeah,
- 2:49Speaker 1: I think to your point, you're going to hear Jeremiah
- 2:51Speaker 1: Smith little brother commits to Ohio State and everyone's going
- 2:53Speaker 1: to rub their hands together and go, oh boy, the
- 2:55Speaker 1: next Jeremiah Smith. And that's you know, first of all,
- 2:59Speaker 1: the next Jeremy Smith is not a fair thing to
- 3:01Speaker 1: put on anyone. And second of all, he's not, as
- 3:05Speaker 1: you said, the same type of you know, body type
- 3:09Speaker 1: as Jeremiah Smith. He also very well might not even
- 3:12Speaker 1: end up on the same side of the ball as
- 3:13Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Right, I mean, depending on which database you're looking at,
- 3:17Speaker 2: he's listed as an athlete, he's listed as a as
- 3:20Speaker 2: a safety. You know, he's again five ten, one seventy,
- 3:24Speaker 2: that's what's in his Twitter bio. So you know, that's
- 3:28Speaker 2: what I'm going to go with at this point. I mean,
- 3:30Speaker 2: he was probably south of five seven last time I
- 3:33Speaker 2: saw him, and looking at the thumbnail picture, you know,
- 3:36Speaker 2: look at Jeremiah and be like, Jeremiah looks small. Well,
- 3:39Speaker 2: you know, Jeremiah bulked up this offseason as well, So
- 3:43Speaker 2: you know, I think his future is going to be
- 3:45Speaker 2: on defense. I think that. And and again I think
- 3:48Speaker 2: that there's a huge thing there that there are a
- 3:53Speaker 2: lot of five ten wide receivers out there. But you know,
- 3:55Speaker 2: if you can go out there and you can play
- 3:57Speaker 2: corner well, you can play safety well. You have you know,
- 4:01Speaker 2: those genes, you have those god given abilities, you can
- 4:05Speaker 2: make yourself a lot of money, and you know, separate
- 4:08Speaker 2: yourself from the pack because everybody wants to go out
- 4:10Speaker 2: there and play offense, but not everybody's Jeremiah Smith. Not
- 4:13Speaker 2: everybody's going to be Chris Henry Junior or whatever. So
- 4:16Speaker 2: you just kind of roll with the punches there. But
- 4:20Speaker 2: you know, Shamada Madonna obviously a program that puts out
- 4:23Speaker 2: a ton of talent. Ohio State recruits shaman A Madonna
- 4:26Speaker 2: very well. We were there for Southern Swing. Didn't talk
- 4:30Speaker 2: to Angelo on that trip. I'm sure he was out there,
- 4:33Speaker 2: but I mean, they're so deep with players, and you know,
- 4:37Speaker 2: we only get to stay at a school for so
- 4:39Speaker 2: long before we have to get on to the next school.
- 4:42Speaker 2: You know, we didn't talk to him there. But you know,
- 4:44Speaker 2: I always figured if Ohio State pushed for Angelo, Ohio
- 4:48Speaker 2: State would get him. Well, I guess they pushed, and
- 4:50Speaker 2: now they got him.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Now they got him. He is the third commitment in
- 4:53Speaker 1: the class of twenty twenty seven for Ohio State. The
- 4:56Speaker 1: other two Jamir Brown. He's listed as an athlete wide
- 5:00Speaker 1: receiver for Ohio State. He is a top ten player
- 5:03Speaker 1: in the class of twenty seven, and then Brady Edmunds,
- 5:05Speaker 1: the quarterback number eleven ranked quarterback four star prospect out
- 5:09Speaker 1: of California. We have seen both of those guys at
- 5:11Speaker 1: Ohio State the last couple of weeks, so you know,
- 5:14Speaker 1: both guys who you would figure out pretty firm commitments
- 5:16Speaker 1: there and Angelo Smith now as the third commitment in
- 5:20Speaker 1: that class at twenty twenty seven. What's interesting is he
- 5:24Speaker 1: might not be the only younger brother of a great
- 5:27Speaker 1: Ohio state wide receiver who could potentially end up in
- 5:31Speaker 1: a future Ohio state wide recruiting class because Marvin Harrison
- 5:35Speaker 1: Junior's younger brother Jet he is also sort of out
- 5:39Speaker 1: there right now as a possible target. And we'll get
- 5:42Speaker 1: to have the same conversation about just because someone is
- 5:45Speaker 1: the younger brother of doesn't mean you're getting identically a
- 5:48Speaker 1: carbon copy of the last.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Player, right exactly. I mean we can go through I
- 5:54Speaker 2: mean I think if you look at like, if you
- 5:56Speaker 2: look at Devon Hamilton and Ty Hamilton, there were a
- 5:59Speaker 2: lot of similar He's there. I think if you look
- 6:01Speaker 2: at the born brothers, Jacoby was smaller, you know, shorter
- 6:04Speaker 2: than the than his older brothers. But you know, there
- 6:07Speaker 2: are a lot of similarities there. But that's not always
- 6:09Speaker 2: going to be the case. It's not always going to
- 6:10Speaker 2: be the case that it's just wash Rents repeat, it's
- 6:13Speaker 2: the same player. Congratulations, you're going to get six years
- 6:17Speaker 2: of Smith's or seven years or whatever what have you.
- 6:20Speaker 2: We know we're getting three of Jeremiah h short of
- 6:25Speaker 2: them changing the rules between now and you know and
- 6:28Speaker 2: his third year out of out of high school. So
- 6:31Speaker 2: Jet Harrison, you know, really talented guy. You know, he's
- 6:34Speaker 2: somebody though that I think that probably fits more of
- 6:37Speaker 2: the mold of what his older brother was in terms
- 6:39Speaker 2: of position wise than what Angelo does. But again, you
- 6:44Speaker 2: just don't know, you don't know. I meanel Angelo could
- 6:47Speaker 2: get to six' one for all we. KNOW i MEAN
- 6:49Speaker 2: i remember talking to him over at The woody and
- 6:52Speaker 2: AS i, SAID i had him south of five, seven
- 6:55Speaker 2: And i'm, like, oh this is such a great, kid
- 6:57Speaker 2: but damn he does not have a d one body.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Yet but he's the young. KID i, MEAN i, was
- 7:03Speaker 2: you know at that, AGE i was probably five, five
- 7:06Speaker 2: but nobody was offering me a scholarship to go play.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Football so you, know maybe, maybe you, know maybe he
- 7:11Speaker 2: gets to six foot even at even at that, point you,
- 7:14Speaker 2: know you have to have you, know to be a
- 7:16Speaker 2: six foot receiver that's going to to to really, excel
- 7:20Speaker 2: especially in The Ohio state, system a system Where Ohio
- 7:23Speaker 2: state goes out and gets the top receivers in the
- 7:25Speaker 2: nation year in and year. OUT i, mean that's something
- 7:27Speaker 2: to be. Said But i'm sure That Ohio state's defensive
- 7:30Speaker 2: back coaches are pretty excited about this. One and you,
- 7:33Speaker 2: know we'll now now you, know now that he's in the,
- 7:35Speaker 2: class now we can really start to dive into into
- 7:38Speaker 2: his game and go in there and try and, find you,
- 7:41Speaker 2: know try and find some highlights and things that he's,
- 7:43Speaker 2: done because you, know outside of, that we just you,
- 7:45Speaker 2: know we really only have seen him perform at, camp
- 7:49Speaker 2: And i'm never going to really truly base a full
- 7:53Speaker 2: evaluation off of. Camp that's just not.
