• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of hit me. We have not done a recruiting show
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: in quite a while, but the good news is Juck

• 0:11
  Speaker 1: on our YouTube channel and you can also find it
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: on the Skull Session Recruiting podcast feed. This show is
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: when they did earlier this week. I just wanted to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: share it here just because we have not really talked
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of recruiting for a while. So this is
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Juck and Mark breaking down the big Ohio State recruiting
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: weekend that happened during the Buckeyes win over number one
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Texas last Saturday. So hopefully enjoy that.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: And welcome into the Skull Session Ohio State Recruiting Podcast,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: brought to you by Buckeye Huddle dot Com. I'm Juck,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: that's the man, Mark Gibler, and we of course are
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: still celebrating like you saw in the intro off the
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: big Texas game.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Mark, how we doing today?
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Good?
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: Uh? Heck of an opener for Ohio State. I think
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: a lot of unknowns wasn't really sure what to expect
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: from a lot of different people, and I think they
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: got the performances that they needed to get from the guys,
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: you know, from Julian saying and from the new defensive
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: coordinator Matt Patricia.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: And so.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: You're almost playing with house money right now for the
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: buck Eyes. As far as getting the win like that
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: to start.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: The year, it is a great one to go ahead
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and log in that w category, got a lot of
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: things you can work on, a lot of film on that,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: and you got four weeks, four or full weeks till
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: you go out to Washington with Grambling in Ohio and
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: a bye week. I mean, couldn't have started off better,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I really don't think. And for the start on that defense,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: with everything we saw from Patricia, wow, does that look
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: like a home run?
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Higher So far, so so far, so good.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: But of course we had some huge visits this weekend,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and that's why we wanted to come on and kind
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: of talk about some of those guys, some of those visitors,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: as well as maybe recap at the end where you
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and I were both last Friday, as we both took
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: in a couple of commits in the twenty twenty six class.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: So with that said, obviously we could go a ton
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of different directions on guys to start with. But a
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: couple of the Ohio offensive linemen were in and uh,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: maybe we'll start there and start with some of the
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: defensive linemen. I know a lot of people want to
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: hear about those guys, but as far as those, there's
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: three Ohio offensive linemens so far they'd have offers in
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: this class of twenty twenty seven.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Take us through those guys. Yeah.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: The one who was not on campus Saturday is kel L.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Johnson from Moeller. That he had a game, so that
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: was not it wasn't just not being interested in coming
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: to the game. He had his own game down and
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: I think they were playing down on Ironton in that showcase.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: And he'll be in next week, right.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the expectation. So he's been up several times,
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: like he's been He's been around a lot. But Mason
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: wilt from from Saint Clairsville is a guy they offered
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: back over the summer and he was on campus. There's
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: a front page story on him on Buckey Huddle dot Com.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: Talk to him quite a bit. He was loving the
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: atmosphere and talked to coach Bowen and getting kind of
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: just the whole experience and so that was nice for
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: him in Ohio State obviously in pretty good shape there.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: And also Kellen Weimer out of Liberty Center High School
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: that's a small school like powerhouse right now. He went
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: fifteen to one last year, lost to Iron Fan the
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: state championship. They're going to be very good chance of
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: getting back there again this year. This was his first
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: game day visit, and he also was also super impressed
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: with the outs. So these are guys that they lead
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: for early. I think the one thing, not the one thing,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: but one of the major things coming out of the
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: weekend is that Tyler Bowen's got this set up very
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: nicely with three Ohio kids that he's offered that they
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: lead for right now. You've got a guy like Jimmy
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Chalis and Pittsburgh, which is in three hours down the road.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: You've got a few other guys you're looking at that
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: are within driving distance of Columbus. You've got some other
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: names aren't maybe not aren't like perfect driving distance, but
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: you know you're not going into like Florida or Texas
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: or Georgia. You know, got a guy like like Bertie
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: McNeil and Virginia for example, right So these are all
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: like gettable linemen who are very, very highly thought of,
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: and again you're maybe avoiding some of that like unpredictability
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: that can come with recruiting like a Florida, Texas, Georgia kid,
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: where you're it's just national five six national powers going
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: at it. Well, these are maybe a little bit more
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: regional recruitments, even though they're still very good players.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: This is something that I've just banged my head against
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the table for years about. Like we watch Notre Dame
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: every year employ this very strategy you're talking about here
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and h and have super successful offensive lines doing it,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and then you know, we've gotten mid range four star
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: quality prospects all.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Over the Midwest.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Why are we going after that same caliber of prospect
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: in Florida, in Georgia. I've never understood it. I really
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: like the strategy he's employing here.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Kellen Wimer.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I've heard great things about him so far. That's the
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: one out of Liberty Center. Now that's up by Toledo,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: if I'm not wrong. And I heard that he's from
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: a Michigan family. They haven't offered yet. That's got me
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: a little concerned. But yeah, he looks like a real,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: real good one. But Jimmy Kayless is obviously Kyle Kayless's
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: younger half brother. Kyle Kyless went to Michigan, and I'm
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: not sure if they've gotten in on that one or not,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: but I think he's been to Ohio State about five times.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I've talked to him several times.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: His sister now goes to Ohio State, and he looks
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: like a real likely possibility to end up in this
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: class to me from everything I have felt from him,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: like he loves it, loves Bowen, loves everything going on
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: about Ohio State. And I haven't talked to him since
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the visit, but that's what I'm certainly, I'm certainly looking
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: out for. But I do love the strategy and it's
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: nice when you can grow a couple up in the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: state here for sure.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's a deep group again, just like kind
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: of twenty six is. So there's a lot of options.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: They've identified three obviously so far. Who knows if that'll
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: turn into more. But they're also I guess, maybe differently
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: than than this cycle current cycle, is that they've offered
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: some more guys that are maybe more like driving range
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: guys where it's not it's not like Okay, we'll take
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: two or three from Ohio and then we'll try and
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: get Florida or Texas.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Or you know this or that.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: There's I think maybe some more reasonable options there. There's
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: some guys from Pennsylvania. Obviously Kalis is from Pennsylvania, but
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: there's some other guys from Pennsylvania that they really like
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: to get that they're kind of in on. We'll see
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: kind of where those trend in the next six months.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: But yeah, it's it's looking like they're not gonna have
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: to work as hard in terms of again talking high
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: four to five star battles in Texas and Florida and
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: Georgia where it's just really hard to battle high percentage.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Absolutely into Pennsylvania and we'll get to defensive line. I
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: know everybody wants to talk about defensive line. Pennsylvania has
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the number one running back in the country, and come on,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: spell out of McKee's sport. He is phenomenal, a little
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: bit shorter, not shorter, but he's five to ten. He's
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: not the stereotypical six foots to six' one like that
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: prototype that you always. See two hundred and ten pounds
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: dynamic as heck been committed to Penn state FOR i
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: think over a year, now and it seemed like man
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: kid From, Pennsylvania Penn state's roll. In but he came
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: out recently and, said, basically there's five schools that could flip.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Me Ohio state was one of those.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Schools he comes in visits For texas as does their
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: number one target at running back who we've talked about,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: plenty and That's David Gabriel george And David Gabriel george
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: had a great, visit spent a lot of time with
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: his family And Coach bowen after the game always has
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: great things to. Say do you see any movement with
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: come on? Spell how do you feel this is going with?
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: That?
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah LIKE i Think Ohio states made a good impression.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: There certainly the. Visit you come into an atmosphere like
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: that and the fans and the attention and everything around that,
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: GAME i think it is always a helpful.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Thing i'm not super optimistic that they're going to be
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: able to flip.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: HIM i Think Penn state is still the most likely
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: destination where he's obviously. COMMITTED i think this is probably
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: going to be a thing that continues into the spring
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: and maybe next. Summer as far as his recruitment goes
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: AND i THINK i Think David Gabriel george's is the
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: guy that they're.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Most high. ON i think that would be their number one.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Guy so.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: If they can Get, david you, know do you wonder
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: what does that mean for like for their pursuit Of
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Come On, spell who's fantastic as.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Well BUT i Just i'm not.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Sure i'm not convinced that's going to actually, happen but
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: we've seen stranger things for.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Sure, LOOK i Love.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: DAVID i Mean i'm talking about Common spell as being
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the number one. BACK i Think david's number two or number.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Three either, way it's a pick or. Poison But david
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: is a little. BIGGER i love that he has really
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: latched on To Carlos lachlan's style of, coaching BECAUSE i
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: feel like when a kid comes in and sees a
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: guy Like lachlan coaching the way he, coaches.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Which, is you, know it's. Tough what coaches those guys?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Tough he demands, Physicality he's very demanding of. Them and
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: if they look at that and they're drawn to, that
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: that's a kid that's got something in him THAT i.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Like and he's talked about is kind of military upbringing
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and his, family and he's drawn to that seems like
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: an absolute perfect.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Fit now there is a bit of a language, barrier
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: AM i?
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Right, yeah not so much With david at this. Point
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: David's english has become very good since moving to The United,
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: States and he even said when we talked to him
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: that camp of the, summer he, said you, know being
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: in the recruiting process has helped His english because he's
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: got to communicate with all these coaches and everything. Else
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: so not so much. There but his parents really don't
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: speak Much english at, all and so his his aunt
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: and his uncle. Do they're they're very, fluent and so
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: he's able to kind of go through them a little.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Bit the aunt and uncle actually help mom and dad
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: and get and just get everyone on the same, page
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: making sure nothing get lost in. Translation uh but, yeah,
• 10:29

• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Name uh, so he's actually not From, Chattanooga. Tennessee he's From.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: Quebec so there there. Is, yeah there's been a bit
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: of a learning curve there for him and his family
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: in terms of getting used to, communicating, uh you, know
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: primarily In english with all these.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Coaches and did he just come down To baylor for?

• 12:11
  Speaker 2: couple tight ends offered in the class from the state Of.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Ohio one of them In Jordan, karhoff.

• 12:23
  Speaker 2: at the. Sales and then we got Di'angelo white out
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Of Billy Angela Saint Jose and in addition to, that
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the number one or two tight end in the, Country
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Brock Williams Keenan bailey's gotten really tight with. Him Brady
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: edmonds is recruiting him really, hard and it seems right
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: now like It's georgia And Ohio state as.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: His two clear. Leaders where do you see that?
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Going with such a talented crew seemingly all really right
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: there for The.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Buckeyes, yeah that's gonna be, interesting you, know certainly they
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: would take.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: TWO i don't know if could they do this in
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: a way where they can get three in they could
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: configure the numbers that.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: WAY i, mean.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Especially with some of the veterans moving on on the
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: current roster and with the extra scholarships still have moving.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: FORWARD i think that's always easier said than. Done it's
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: great to sit here and talk about taking. Three, well
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: who's the third guy and why would he do? That
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: you know kind of thing when you're talking about three
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: high level. Guys but, yeah that's gonna be, fascinating you,
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: know The Williams. DOMINO i think it's gonna be. Huge
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: this becomes fairly simple to. Me if he goes To
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: georgia or somewhere, Else it's becomes pretty easy to.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Me you.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: KNOW i have to Say i'm a little intrigued by
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: Car off as like a pass rusher. Too, REALLY i
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: don't know if he has any interest in. THAT i
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: don't EVEN i haven't heard That Ohio.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: State it's really that interested in.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: That but like he's got the kind of that edge
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: rusher body to. HIM i think he'd be interesting on defense.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: TOO i don't know if that's even something that would
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: be in the cards at. All but, Yeah i'm with.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: You it's a fascinating situation to kind of see how
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: they massage all. This but, AGAIN i THINK i Think
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Brock williams is kind of the big domino because he
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: does make it simple if you go somewhere. Else the
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: kid From cleveland's iving. TREMENDOUS i think he's. SUPER i
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: saw he was a three star in one of the sights.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Heiler THAT i couldn't believe, it, crazy, RIGHT i.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Think he's one top five or six players In.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Ohio, yeah he's HE'S i, mean just you, know, wild big,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Big he's, like.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah he's not Like karoff's got like twenty thirty pounds
• 14:24

• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Keenan keenan's. Done i'm talking about you, Know krhoff potentially playing.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: DEFENSE i actually Think Brock lennon would have been a
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: hell of a. Defender his his, uh his traits uh
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: playing defense were pretty. Freaky but these two freshmen tight,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Ends Nate roberts and and Sorry Brody Brody, lennon who
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: we're gunning to, UH i don't know if we'll see
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: much of him this. Year we got to See Nate
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: roberts blocking on a fourth and goal as a fullback
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: In game, one AND i just think what we've Seen
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Keenan bailey do with this tight end has been tremendous
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and he's really made it a destination now for a
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: lot of these young tight. Ends seeing five, guys five
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: tight ends played Against, texas that's.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Nuts, yeah they've, got they've.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: Got we were kind of talking about this like people
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: you talk About Ohio, state you, know wide, receivers.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Defensive.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: Backs you, know there's a lot of position GROUPS i
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: think jump out at, you but kind of quietly kind of,
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: thought maybe that tight end room not quite the star
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: power of some of the other, rooms but maybe the
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: deepest position on the roster right now in terms of the,
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: gaps you, know from from one to, four one to
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: five whatever they seem to have as a handful of
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: guys who can, play and that OBVIOUSLY i will.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Play heading to the defensive, line which is you, know
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: a topic that a lot Of buckeye fans want to talk.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: About when you looked at that huge list of visitors
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: that they had coming, in hundred some, Names, uh wasn't
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of defensive line. PROSPECTS i got a lot
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: of comments about that over the last, week that, that you,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: know of all positions not to have a ton of.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Visitors it seemed odd to many that that one wasn't loaded.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Up but a couple of the guys that did come.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: In Ray perez, obviously who is From Columbus, Academy, uh growing,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: up you, know moving up the boards and a kid
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: who busted is but at, camps multiple camps over the
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: summer to earn his. Offer what are your thoughts On
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: ray AS i pull him up for everybody. Here he
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: is now the two hundred and thirty third overall player
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: in the, country which is. Fantastic listed at six' five
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: two forty you think that's a pretty accurate listing.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: For him might.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Be bigger, he's, big, yeah yeah he's not under six
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: y five and he's not under two. Forty, NICE yeah
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: i think there's a chance he grows into a, three
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: tech super high, effort kid, very athletic. Very long still
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: has technic, technical stuff, you know, leverage play you know
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: pad level type stuff that he's. Working on seemed to
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: soak everything in That That larry johnson was, teaching him
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: and kept coming back to camps over the summer and
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: learning more. AND more i really like him. Long term
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: is he going to be a Like An? Eedric houston like,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: you know, day one you can roll him. Out there
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: i'm not ready to go in, that DIRECTION but i
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: think as you project him to year two or three,
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: IN college i think he projects. Very well it's it's
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: really hard for guys with his size and athleticism and
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: motor to. Fail normally, normally it's, you know you either
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: you either don't have the athleticism or you don't have
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: the motor or whatever.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: It is he's got everything there to be a really.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Good Player So.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: I'm i'm very very intrigued by him. LONG term i
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: think he's going.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: To be.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: As one of our, Commoners said ray is six, To
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: SIX like, i said he's he's not under six. Y five,

• 18:26
  Speaker 5: so i don't know if workouts and fall, you know
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: conditioning in. Fall camp you can lose guys going to
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: fall camp and drop ten Pounds with august practices. And
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: everything but he's very very high, level motor very very.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: High character just feels like a guy who won't who
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: has a very even though he's still, raw physically feels
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: like a guy who has a very high floor because
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: of all.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: His intangibles you put in all, those intangibles which a
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: kid who clearly seems to want to Be a buckeye,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: pretty bad with that kind of effort and that kind,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: of motor that seems like a very likely candidate to

• 20:43
  Speaker 5: battle there's gonna be a lot of maybe schools you'd

• 20:49
  Speaker 5: sec programs Even Like, south carolina who's, you know kind
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: of recruited that part of the country. Very Well Reason

  Speaker 5: he's very High On ohio state.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: EARLY on.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: I think he's an. Unbelievable player he's a little, BIT
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: physically i think a little more Advanced Than. CHRIS whitehead
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: i think he's got probably a extra ten or fifteen
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: pounds of muscle on him. Right now what that, means
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: today don't? You know they're they're, you know a year

• 22:55
  Speaker 5: four and, a half two hundred and thirty pounds. Right
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: now AND again i. VIEW him i know people are
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: just saying it's thirty, right now it's, you know, AND
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: yeah i mean something. To watch what's what is he going,
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: to be you know in a year and. A HALF
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: but i view him as as a true. DEFENSIVE end
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: i don't think HE'S A a a three future three
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: tech Like Maybe ray perez.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Is okay and and you just kind of gloss that
• 23:16

• 23:25
  Speaker 5: OF what i call what they.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Go by so YOU and i have both talked, about
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: edges and neither of us feel like this is uh
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: in the. DIRE straits a lot of people do because
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: of our Opinions On zion Grady and Eppie, saitani le
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: who both look like these are guys may be ready
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: to contribute this year in. Some instances in addition, to
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: That kry wilder looks like an. Absolute hit, and uh
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: you know whether or not they land another edge in
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: this class of twenty, TWENTY six i.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: DON'T know i. Don't know have you heard of any names?
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: POP up i haven't heard.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: A thing, you know there's not a ton of buzz.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: Right Now what i've kind of continued to say and
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: here is that they're going to, be very very very
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: locked in on the de commitment market over the next couple.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: Of months as the coaching. Carousel looks there's.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Gonna be coach we don't know who they.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: Are yet seasons got to, play out but there's gonna
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: be coaches who, get fired coaches who. Change jobs there's going,
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: to be in, my OPINION and i l promises that
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: aren't going to be able to. Be kept AND so
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: i think there's going to be a rush of availability
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: of players that are currently, not available and so they're
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: going to keep a very very very close eye.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: On that there's a.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Bad, position no it's.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: You're kind of in a bit of a situation where
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: you get to be a little bit of a hunter
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: and not the hunted down. The stretch there's been a
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: couple of names have been tossed out, to me, but
• 24:58

• 27:08
  Speaker 5: great Matchup With Julius jones Junior At Saint, thomas AQUINAS
• 27:12

• 27:14
  Speaker 5: the twenty twenty. SEVEN class I Think Julius jones junior.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: Is unbelievable now he's Probably A Notre. Dame locke it's
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: where his, Dad played but that was a. PHENOMENAL matchup
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: I thought danny more than held his own. Against That
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: and danny even told. Me so didn't play a lot
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: of corner last Year At, MODERN day i just, positional
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: needs was playing, some safety so so he's only he
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: hasn't been playing a ton. Of corner now That's Where
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: high state's recruiting him to, Play corner so. He's not
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: he is a corner, long term but, you know making
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: that transition and doing a good Job On Julius jones
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: junior and kind of winning his share of. MATCHUPS there
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: i love HIM and I Think. Ohio STATE and i
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: don't say this Lightly because i've always BEEN the i
• 27:54

• 28:40
  Speaker 2: it lines up very very well to an in STATER who,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: I think i don't want to say we've, been cautioning

• 29:54
  Speaker 5: Recruiting Battle tim walton has done a very good job,
• 29:57

• 30:35
  Speaker 5: To go they are going to have to. Win it,
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: AND again i Like What tim walton's, doing here just
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: kind of treating him like the five Star from Texas
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: or florida like, you would, you know Just Treat devin
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: fanchez kind, of thing like trying to get him up,
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: on campus getting to know, his family just continuing to build.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: A relationship i thought this was a good step Forward,
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: on saturday not just because of the, final score, but
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: look the secondary was.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Lights out. The corners.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: We're Tremendous jermaine Matthews fellow cincinnatian maybe you know one
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: of the players of, the game big time. Game there
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: the depth chart actually sets up. Very nicely if you're
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: a TWENTY seven a lot of these guys are going
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: to be off TO, the nfl out of the program
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: by the time he. Gets there it's not a like
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: a bottleneck or anything at corner right now if you're
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: a twenty. Seven kid so he sees, all that and
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: then he you see You See devin sanchez out there
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: and crunch time as a. True freshman so he also, knows,
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: like hey the best players are going to Play For
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: tim walton and. For McCreary so like there was a
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: really good combination. OF things i think that happened for
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: a highest State. On saturday that are you know going To, help.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Yes some very good selling.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Points there while we're, on it let's talk about his,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Teammate There, antoine higgins one of the best linebackers in.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: The country do you see him as a linebacker, LONG term.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: I could see him as A especially so this is
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: always my Thing with antoine is we kept hearing about
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: like these jack positions and, you know all this other
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: stuff with like the stand up, edge rusher and it.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: Never happened and by, THE way, I mean i'm gonna
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: let me take a quick victory lap the people Who
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Said larry johnson Was Preventing jim knowles from running. Odd
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: fronts can we go back and watch the Tape. On
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: Saturday did matt patricia have to run That By? Larry
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: johnson it doesn't Sound Like larry johnson was keeping anybody
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: from running an odd front by the way we Saw
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: on Saturday With matt. Patrician's DEFENSE so I think i
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: think a lot of that. WAS overblown i think now
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: that we've seen that they are gonna run some, ODD
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: fronts I Think antoine higgins as an edge rusher is.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Beyond intriguing and he does a lot of that Stuff.
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: For anderson he is explosive off. The edge he's every
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: bit of, six three he's like two twenty five. To
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: thirty he's not, gonna know he's not gonna be, six
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: five two. Seventy five he's not Gonna Be joey Bosa Or,
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: chase young but he could easily be six three and
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: a half two forty five, two fifty Just Like jonathan.
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: Cooper WAS and i could totally. See that and so
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: for the people who are like scared about, defensiven recruiting
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: there's another GUY that i think you have to at.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: LEAST consider, i mean he's a bigger BODY. Than, Cj
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: hicks so, YOU know i think that's very intriguing. For
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: me we'll see if all higher. STATE degrees i don't know,
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: that yet but the fact that they are running on
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: fronts now makes me think that's a.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Real possibility there doesn't seem to be anything off. The
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: TABLE when I saw Kayt and curry lining up as a,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: nose tackle, all right all bets.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Are.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Off man we're all over the, place now like anybody.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: IS anywhere, i mean we're. GONNA see i don't know
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: the true this is where, you play and that's all.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: You play that's kind of by. The wayside with this whole,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: front seven they were. All everywhere it was really fun.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: To see obviously advantageous if you can if you got
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: the players smart enough and you can teach.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: It and get.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: It installed not everybody can run, like THAT and i
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: was so impressed that they were able to do that
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: week one with all the. Moving parts one guy messes
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: up his assignment and it's cooked really really, impressive STUFF
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: and i think very very advantageous for recruiting because, you
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: know a lot of these guys want to play, different
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: spots they want to, get sacks they want to go.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: After that so good stuff, with that, real quick not.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: REAL quick i would like to make a Point Where
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: tony gerdman put This. On twitter he did, a graph
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: a chart OF where i.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: GOT it i, got it pull.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: It, up okay he.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: Did a chart where because this is actually my Comp
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: for HIGGINS Is Rvl rees and look At where rvel's
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: lining up on a lot of. These plays he's obviously
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: the circle, out there and you see a lot of
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: him lining up on. The edge you see him lining
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: up inside over over top of garter. A tackle that
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: Is What antoine higgins. Can do so if, nothing else
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: Even if higgins is considered a Linebacker By, ohio state
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: look for him to play that type of role where
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: he's lined up as a as an, edge rusher where
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: they move him around in.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: Different gaps he's, a very very, instinctual.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: Player a guy who like gets north and south in,
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: a hurry Explosive like rvel is kind of. MY cop
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: i had Questions about orvel coming out of high school
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: in terms of, his position like would he be would
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: he grow into, an edge would he be a? True
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: linebacker and the Answer Under matt patricia is that while
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: he's going to, play EVERYWHERE which i think is a
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: matter which is the best Answer because arvel is a
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: FREAK and I think higgins fits that type of body
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: type that.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Sounds fantastic, wide, receivers obviously there are a plethora of
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: great options as we HAVE got i think five of
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: the top nine wide receivers in the country here in
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: border states And into Ohio In jamier Brown And monshune
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Sales And dakota garan Up, In michigan Montshuns. In indiana
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: these guys were all. In town You've got eric McFarlane
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: currently in the class of twenty twenty eight and there's
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: been talks of him. Maybe reclassifying they were all in
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: town and they were all taking this And the bucks
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: have Offered Recently, brian porter That Is quincy porter's Little
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: brother he's a class of twenty twenty seven At A
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: bergen catholic, and uh, you know maybe some some an
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: interesting prospect to take a. Look at not a super
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: highly rated Guy, like quincy but, YOU know i could definitely.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: See him In the quincy was a.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Late, riser yeah it was A, late yeah it was
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: a riser. For sure so what do you see any
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: thoughts on any of those wide? RECEIVERS early, i mean
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: it's almost like they're going to get some, great ones,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: You know like who's it going?
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: To?
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: Be?
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: Though, yeah, LIKE look I think I Think dakota garat
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: is a just, a Pure Pure Michigan ohio. State battle
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: no pun, intended there, BUT okay i think that's gonna
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: be a straight head.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: TO head.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: I THINK if i Think If ohio state could have,
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: their druthers it would Be Munch, on sales it Would be,
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: Dakota Obviously, jamir brown and then, you know we'll See
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: what eric McFarland does in terms of. A reclassification but
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: OBVIOUSLY they i believe they think as Highly of eric
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: McFarland as any receiver currently in high school football. Right
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: now so these are guys that, are clear clear priority targets.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: RIGHT now i like where they stand, with sales not
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: to the Point where i'm like calling it because that
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: is going to be a hyper competitive.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: Recruiting battle but they got a lot of.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: Things working for him, there obviously like the, receiver room
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: like getting getting into, you know being able to come
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: in on the heels of that great class With like
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: jeremiah and, those guys and kind of having a bit
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: of an open, depth chart, you know kind of beyond
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: this current group we we have seen Here in columbus
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: and being able to step in and maybe get some
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: early minutes the Development Of. Brian hartline but the geography
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: is going to. Help too they're able to keep getting him.
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: On campus if you Were, in texas they wouldn't be
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: able to, do this but, you Know, in indianapolis it's
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: a it's less than three hours from door, To door
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: so like this is helping. Them Tremendously the dakota grand
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: thinks INTERESTING because i think He Loves, ohio state but
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: he's also Like a, michigan guy and IT'S like i,
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: do here like, you know, you know What does michigan
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: look like? This year probably is gonna help determine things like.
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: How much would he actually Play With. Bryce underwood probably not,
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: a ton but you know that's gonna. Be something maybe
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: that gets factored in there. As WELL but i think
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: that's going to be a very. HEATED battle I Know
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: ohio state would very much love to get to Code,
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: outam michigan and and not just not just to, get
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: it not just to stick It, to michigan but just
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: because they think he's he's a tremendous player and they
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: got a five star kid behind. Him too they got
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: another stud receiver there behind Him At.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Harper, woods okay well yeah we want to get get
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: the leg up in. That, school, then yeah. He's excellent
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: i've seen some Quotes About. Ohio state seems like him
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: and his family really. Like it and if all things,
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: were even it would feel to Me Like ohio state
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: was the leader right now if he Wasn't from michigan
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: and grew.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Up there so that's gonna be a.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Tough one you know what's Interesting, about Indiana as i'm
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: sitting here and we're talking From From, mylon graham Did
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Your quaden Guilford Now? MINSHUN sales i mean that that's
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: quite the run of wide receivers out of the State
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: of indiana. Right There But min shun a six, foot
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: five big body, wide receiver And then, eric McFarland a five.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: FOOT eight i am so impressed that we are seeing
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: a guy in this day, and age where you know
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: the trend is big body, wide receivers and we're seeing
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: a guy five foot eight be so dominant that he's
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: at the top of. The RANKINGS and i asked you
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: before the show your opinion. On him you've seen him,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: in person.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: You feel the. Same way he's, That dominant and that's
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: just wild. To, me.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah he.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: So just everyone's got their own kind of, personal preferences
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: personal biases when they look at players and. Evaluate players
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: i'm always gonna want the six two sixty. Three receiver
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: that's LIKE since i was like in, high SCHOOL like i, was,
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: LIKE oh i always Went Into high state or whoever,
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: you Know the eagles or whoever to get the six
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: two six. Three receivers i've always been enamored with the.
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: Bigger guys but there is something ridiculously Special about. Eric
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: McFarland even at, five eight he was the best receiver
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: they brought in for camp.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: In, the summer regardless of, class.
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: Explosive like doesn't even begin like he Is Like zion
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: branch on Steroids or, I'm Sorry, Zach branch, sorry Wrong,
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: wrong branch for He's like zach just Like Everything zach branch,
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: can do from that change of direction to, the explosiveness
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: but on like a at a different even a. Different gear.
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: It's terrifying and he can. LINE up i saw him
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: line up outside against bigger corners and. No problems just
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: very unique because he fits the profile of a guy
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: i'd usually, be, like Well?
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: How's Ohio is stay.
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: Going to use him or, you know because that was
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: kind of like That Like wandale robinson in the past
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: when they were really in, All that he's not gonna
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: fit and, you know We Know mookie cooper didn't work
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: LIKE and i just, You know i've always been a
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: little bit uneasy about those types of players body, type
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: wise BUT they're i am not the LEAST bit i
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: have zero Questions About. ERICON farland i think.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: He's fantastic that is so impressive. TO me i mean it,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: really is especially in. This era and now he's DOWN
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: at img, and uh we're gonna we're gona see him
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: against top notch competition and apparently he's still gonna shine,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: against that which will be really fun. To watch moving on,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: To Quarterback wonderful minds was. In town wonderful is wonderful
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: and he is a large man and he looks like
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: he's twenty three years old and he just might be
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: the top quarterback target in twenty twenty eight For The, BUCKEYE.
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I, think uh and he Goes. By champs so
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: we'll throw another nickname out there because he's actually The
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: fourth his dad played, professional baseball his grandfather played IN,
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: the nfl so he's a.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: Third.
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: Generation uh maybe has a chance to be a third generation.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: Professional athlete but HE is i Think Everything ohio state
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: wants off. The field, his composure his just his general like,
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: even keeledness, his leadership. Super mature we went down and
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: interviewed Him At, Vero beach yeah BEACH. Where tj, alford
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: went AND so i had not talked to him at
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: that point before he but he was around and coach, was,
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: like yeah you can sit down talk. To, him, Okay
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: great and you never know how how those are going
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: to go because at that point he's like finishing up
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: his freshman year of. High school and, He's, like okay
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: he's gonna be able to like speak in front of

• 43:03
  Speaker 5: and like and he was exactly the same on and,
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: off camera and he just handled himself.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: So well he's just he's such A much i, don't
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: know you have to meet him.
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: To be able to kind of. Understand it just how
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: mature he is at. HIS age i think that's separating
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: him from some of the other candidates right now in
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: twenty eight is just his like you feel like you're
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: talking to someone who's already in college when you talk,
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: to him and then you, throw, in, oh yeah he's
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: got kind. Of approach they want the bigger, bodied GUYS
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: and I know julian's saying. Is not julian's kind of
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: got some special things with, his Arm But ohio state
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: Generally Under, ryan day they like the bigger. Body guys
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: so he's. Got that he's, got mobility which of course they.
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: Really like he's got, a strong, accurate arm so he's
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: got the. Physical stuff BUT just i think the maturity
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: is what separates him from like really good, to SPECIAL
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: and i think that's worn Off On. OHIO state I
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: Think ohio state's kind of rubbed off on him and.
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: His parents three Visits From, Vera beach Florida since April,
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: or march Middle, of march free visits, from there and you're, Twenty,
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: eight like you haven't been anywhere else three times in.
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: THAT timeframe i. DON'T believe i don't think he's been
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: anywhere else three times in. That timeframe, so like there's
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: a lot going here that makes this feel like he
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: could be emerging as. Their guy but yet it is,
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: like early and they're going to continue. To valuate so,
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: you know they're evaluating sophomore film, right NOW and i
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: know they don't love to have to make a quarterback
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: decision this early because, of that but it is it
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: is An interesting.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: This is moving in an interesting direction FROM where. I,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: sit okay it does, SEEM like, i, mean yeah they don't.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: Like that.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: Nobody does but seems like a pretty safe bet to
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: think that this guy is going to be a pretty
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: damn good.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: College quarterback, you know.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: It's interesting we've not seen them yet half to go,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: after uh get into a big nil battle on a,
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: quarterback yet which is. Pretty interesting we've seen everybody else
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: have to. Do that buck guys have been able to
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: not really have to. Do It brady edan certainly didn't
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: turn out. LIKE that, i mean it's in.
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: Cap space they got cap space four th. Twenty eight
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: they can go.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Out space talking about we've talked about.
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: This, before though like you can't the days of like
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: stacking five star, quarterbacks, one, two three four and then
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: just kind of letting them all wait their turn and like. That's,
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: Over man you done with with that il on, The,
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: poll like no kid is going to sit and Be
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: the no five star kids is going to sit and
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: be the third string quarterback for two or three years
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: when they could be collecting four or five million dollars
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: a year. Somewhere else and you're not going to pay
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: your third string quarterback four five million dollars. A year
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: so like this notion of like just stacking five star
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: quarterbacks over a two or three year period is out.
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: The window so like the fact that, they didn't they
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: haven't really had to do that a, lot lately, you
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: know with with with where they've had to go for
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: their quarterbacks and just the built in Loyalties To ohio
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: state of their last TWO quarterbacks.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: I think is going to help them be a player
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: in twenty eight from a, Financial.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: Standpoint, yeah yeah. THAT'S fantastic i also Don't.
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: Think champ's gonna be a like a straight nil, Guy
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: either like you're gonna have to be like live but,
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: like again he's got two parents who played, pro sports
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: like very. Grounded family like you're gonna have to, Be
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: COMPETIT like i just PREFACE everything i SAY about anil
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: with they have to.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: Be competitive no one's taking a fifty percent.
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: Discount to, Go anywhere but it's not gonna be one
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: of those things Where high seat's offering me two million
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: and school y is offering me two million and. Five
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: dollars i'm gonna take the extra five dollars to go
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: to that school because it's, five dollars. You know it's
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: it's not gonna be, that so but they're. WELL positioned
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: i think.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: They're okay and that will be our breakdown of the
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: visitors that. Are Uncommitted but MARK and i did want
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: to hit on the visits we Took, on friday as
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: we usually each go take in, a prospect whether that
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: be someone uncommitted or. Someone committed we saw a couple
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: of commits each in the twenty twenty. SIXTH class i
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Went To pickerington Central As jamiir brown And The wayne
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: warriors came in to Take On picks central and that
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: was the First time I've Seen jamiir, brown play, and
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: boy it was something he's put on. SOME weight i
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: can say that. For sure he's definitely he's. Thickening out
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: and that speed is, something different it's. Something electric that's
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: the fastest kid playing Football in ohio at a high
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: level Since. Ted gen i'm pretty sure that. He is
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: just he's on a different level and he can be.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: Very versatile he had a one handed catch that he
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: took in for a touchdown about thirty yard cards that got,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: called back and on that, next play the quarterback got
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: thrown out for A play i guess him and Somebody
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: on pickerton got in a verbal spat the rest through
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: the meat out for a play and it was like
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: third and goal from the Twenty and wayne just said,
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: all Right line jamir up. At wildcat jamir ran it
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: in in a run that ended with him plowing over
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: a pretty. Big kid so the, physicality's there the hands,
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: are there the, Speed's there But unlike teddy at.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: This age. He's shiftier he's Shiftier than.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: Teddy, was like he's just looks more natural as a,
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: wide receiver a little jitterbug moves That that ted didn't.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Really have in my opinion at. That age he's absolutely
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: the number.
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: ONE dude i get a little nervous talking about Him
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: because i'm always the guy who tries to like rain
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: it in a. Little bit these kids get so much
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: in their heads about how great, they are and things,
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: can happen and one thing can lead to another and you're.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: No longer you know a five star. Guy anymore but
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: he is.
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: The best high school wide Receiver in Ohio that i've ever.
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: Seen there it's so hard to go back To like
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: ted ted gantten junior because he was essentially a high
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: school quarterback who also could have been an. Elite CORNER
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: and i don't even think most people knew if he
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: was going to be a receiver. In college jamiir is
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: just so much more Advanced than teddy was at the.
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: Same age he's actually. Playing receiver he's been a, route
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: runner he's, more physical. He's bigger if you look at,
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: track times. He's, Faster yeah like so you say all
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: that and you're, like well it should. Be easy you
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: should call him Better Than ted. Getten junior but then he,
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: was Like that's. Tedginton junior though you're already like how
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: do you? Say that, but like it's it's not a
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: hard argument to make that you would have to go
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: beyond tedgin junior to find The last ohio high school
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: football receiver as Good As.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Junior, brown, Yeah yeah i'm, with, You man and uh
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: it's IT'S something i will say the coaching Staff At
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: wayne man get the dude.
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: THE ball i don't know what you guys.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: ARE doing i want to, You Know ohio state went
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Into that texas game and come hell or, high water
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: there were twenty targets and ten of them went to
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: their special, wide receiver the best in, the country and
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: and You Got. Jamiir brown that should be the, game,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Plan man fifty percent of those targets better be going to.
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: Number one and.
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: That's, always YEAH like i, would SAY like. I wouldn't
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: it would also be difficult to be a high school
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: coach in that situation because it's like people don't like
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: it's a deal, with parents like your deal with kids
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: parents and years on. THE team i, like that but
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: like the instinct is, just like we have to get
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: this guy the ball, every play and so it's always
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: like am put him?
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: At quarterback, You, Know YEAH like I just i.
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: Always am like a little bit sympathetic toward coaches that
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: have to like try and weigh. That dynamic, BUT yeah
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: i Mean Every jamiir brown touch is a.
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: Good one, so yeah he's he's. Something.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: Else yeah, so, no, nothing nothing no new revelations for Me.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: About jamiir but let's talk about. Your game as you
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: went to CHECK, Out cj Sna and Kate and Gapart
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: At olin tangi and who.
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: Do who do They? Play, perrysburg okay and that they're a, good, team,
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: right yeah they.
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: And they got a they got a.
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: JUNIOR quarterback i got to look into a little. Bit
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: more it was a very good athlete with some size,
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: on him AND so i.
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: Thought he had a really. Nice game BUT.
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: But cj HERE'S what i LIKE. About cj and there's
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: me some things that he's gonna have to. Work on
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: and that's fine because this is only his second. You're
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: playing this is the like the second game of his
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: second season, Playing linebacker so there are things naturally you
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: can't possibly be a completely finished product at. That point
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: but THE things i like about him are he gets downhill.
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: Really well when he decides he's, going somewhere, he's going
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: he's going one hundred miles.
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: An hour he.
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: Doesn't hesitate he's very good sideline, a sideline which FOR
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: a mic linebacker is critical in, today's game if, you
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: will because if YOU'RE a mic linebacker, today's game and then,
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: the sideline, the sideline you're not really playing a. Whole
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: lot so you're playing on first and ten and third
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: and short and that's. About IT but i think he
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: has the athleticism to be a three. Down, linebacker certainly a,
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: tough kid a, smart kid has a little bit OF
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: like i said This About garrett stover, coming Out and
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: garrett was also a guy who kind of moved to
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: linebacker late in his football playing career at the. High
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: level and sometimes they are playing so hard and so
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: fast and so aggressive that they will run themselves out of. A,
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: play yeah and so sometimes that did Happen on. Friday
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: night but in terms of checking the physical boxes, of
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: sideline the, sideline range, you know willingness to get in
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: there and, you know be a torpedo and, hit, people, playing,
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: hard playing, you know with. Some leadership those are all
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: things that he. Does Well And James laura nidis will
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: clean up the rest of.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: That, for sure. For sure, and heck this kid also
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: a Big time. Buckeye fan loved the opportunity and, can't
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: wait and that always carries a little weight. To me,
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: but yeah he's got all, the juice all the juice.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: You Need Uh so i'm really excited about. That now
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: watching him And get part together. Really fun, of course
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: we're Talking about Kaden get part safety who Committed, to
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Clemson Then ohio State Got. Blaine bradford, in fact let's
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: Roll Into blaine bradford in a. Second here but, uh
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: no those two together. Really, fun unfortunately you didn't get
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: to see a game where they had a ton, of
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: fun you were telling, Me, earlier.
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was, you know and the way the game
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: kind of, played out especially in the, Second half Old
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: and tangi was kind of running, the ball running the,
• 54:21
  Speaker 5: clock out, You.
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: Know caden i've seen Games where kaden's had more than.
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: Twenty tackles.
• 54:29
  Speaker 5: You. Just didn't they ran a lot of Quarterback power,
• 54:32
  Speaker 5: perrysburg did so it wasn't really a.
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: Great Game for cayden to kind of SHOWCASE what i
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: know he. Can do.
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: But.
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: He is he is absolutely you, know that he's absolutely
• 54:46
  Speaker 5: a very. Impressive player, TO me I think clemson's getting a.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Great, One yeah i'm disappointed, About that but how how
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: disappointed can you be when you went And Got. Blaine,
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Bradford now blaine obviously got, his dad comes out, and
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: says got the Pressure Of death.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: Valley, on him and as, of now he's a.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: Buck guy it's gonna be, his choice but we are,
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: you know, you know it's dealing with, the process.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: Et, cetera.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Blaine every time he Is At, ohio state you see
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: that he just. Lights up it's very clear that He Loves. Ohio,
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: STATE now i fully believe that there are guys who
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: love a school and end up going somewhere else because
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: it just makes the most fiscal sense to.
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: Do, so so, you know you could still love a
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: place and end up. Somewhere, ELSE ultimately i think.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: This HOLDS because i Feel Like ohio state's in a situation.
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: Where it's got.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: A hole it's got TO and i think that they'll
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: make sure that. It does but a lot of people
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: are worried. About it mark what is your opinion?
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: On, IT.
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: Look i think my opinion is that he's going. To
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: stick my opinion Is That ohio state is where he wants.
• 56:03
  Speaker 5: To be my opinion is that his dad is very
• 56:06
  Speaker 5: comfortable with. That decision AND so i don't think you're
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: gonna have, you know a, you know a parent or
• 56:12
  Speaker 5: two meddling forcing. Him anywhere and they're gonna they're. GONNA pay,
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: i mean they're gonna do the nil thing. With him
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: they're not gonna be non competitive IN the nil space With.
• 56:24
  Speaker 5: With blaine he's been their top probably their top overall.
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: DEFENSIVE targets i THINK if i think if you told
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: them you have one defensive player in, THIS class i think.
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: It Would Be.
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: Blaine bradford so that, BEING said i understand that people are,
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: you know his BROTHER'S, at lsu he Lives In. Baton,
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: ROUGE like i understand if you're not going to feel
• 56:46

• 56:55

  Speaker 3: Get better that was a really really. Rough, SPOT man
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: i was in.

  Speaker 2: The stadium it was, the loudest particularly that, last drive
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: The loudest i've Ever Heard. Ohio stadium and that is
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: two games in, A row Tennessee and texas that it
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: has been just an insane environment In.
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: The shoe one, at night one. AT noon i couldn't
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: be more happy. About, That, MARK.
• 59:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah i mean That's a, i'm, like look they could
• 59:45
  Speaker 5: have lost that game fourteen, to seven and everything would
• 59:48
  Speaker 5: be in front. Of them they could Still, beat michigan
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: they can still Win The, big ten they could still
• 59:53
  Speaker 5: get To The collegeable playoff, from that like all.
• 59:54
  Speaker 4: Of that but this just Gives them.
• 59:59
  Speaker 5: They're so insan related now with, That win like the
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 5: things that would have, to happen knock, on wood the
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: things that could have the things that would have to
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 5: happen these next couple of months for them to miss,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 5: The playoff it's. Almost unimaginable at. This point they've put
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 5: themselves in such a great SITUATION and i think the
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: best thing to come out of it was well One
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 5: Like matt patricia's game plan. WAS incredible i think the
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: People killing arch right now are Not Giving matt patricia Enough,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 5: credit arch even, You Know dan orlovsky was breaking some
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 5: stuff down IN the Espnx and arch won't see a
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 5: defense like this the rest of the year because SO
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 5: many nfl concepts that he would have never. Seen before
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 5: so that was like just a total chess match win
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 5: For For. Ohio state But again julian saying, stats whatever
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 5: like they were better than, he was better than his.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: Stats showed but, that's, fine sure stats. Or whatever the
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 5: moment was new or too big. For him he never.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: Looked flustered That is that is an incredibly good sign
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 5: for them. Moving forward it's a very good sign for
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 5: them when They, play WASHINGTON which i think is, a sneaky. Tough,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 5: game yeah, you know when they go, out there it's
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 5: a very good sign For When penn state comes Into
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 5: the shoe later in, The season like there are they
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 5: could have if they wouldn't list put, this way if
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: they would have won that Game, on Saturday but julian
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 5: looked flustered and all over.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: THE place i.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 5: Would be much more concerned than if they had lost
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 5: that game and he looked the way he Did.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: On saturday that's a, good, point yeah, for sure because that's.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: Really going to dictate where this team goes.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: Mm hm because the defense is going to be.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: Really good.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 5: The receiver we know about, the receivers whether they win
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 5: a championship or have a successful repeat or get back,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 5: to you, you know to a, final four whatever it.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 5: Might be that a lot of that is going to
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 5: hinge On on julian and his ability to, you know
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 5: grow up in these big moments and and not have
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 5: the moment be too big. For him and if it
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 5: wasn't too big for Him, on saturday you do kind, of,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 5: wonder well is there just a moment that's is it
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 5: even possible for the moment to be too big?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: For him because he just looked like he was in.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 5: A scrimmage i mean it just, looked, like yeah.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: He was watching like a like watching him during team,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: Drills practice it's looked.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: The same he's a, cool, customer man he is a.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: Cool customer so.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 5: After the press conference after, The game, i'm like this
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 5: guy just might be. A sociopath he's, just, like yeah
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: like completely like.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: Very, very professional very.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: Very.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: Prepared.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah it gives you a good feeling and knowing
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: that the defense is uh is going to be, ELITE
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: again i think we can say that. For sure it
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: gives him that much more time to come along at
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: a nice smooth pace as you ramp up as the
• 1:02:53
