  Speaker 1: Welcome to a special breaking news episode of Buckeyes tomorrow morning.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I'm Tom Or I'm a Tony Garnerman, Buckeheddle dot com.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Tony.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: It is transfer portal season. It is officially transfer portal season.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Not only do we have not the first transfer of
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the season, we have not even the first wide receiver
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: transfer of the season. Kachuwantwy three years in Columbus now
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: headed into the portal.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I read your sophomore played very little hits the portal?
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: Another one? Where is it a year after?
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: We thought maybe it would be because of it was
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: so little playing time in his first couple of years.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: And now, I mean this would makes sense to all
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: of us. And again I mean it's it's a depth
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: piece that they now need to fix because even though
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: he hasn't played much this season, you're losing players and
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: so you're you're losing numbers and they've got to replace
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: those numbers. But yeah, a guy that reminded me of
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: a bit of like kJ Hill when he signed and nothing,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: not a burner, not the biggest guy, but could get
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: open and can do some things after the catch. But
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: it's never never took on here at Ohio.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: State.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Didn't they both wear number fourteen? Yes, Okay, so this
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: may have been This is.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Not confirment, this is this is because this is in
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: high school.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, Gonna said, this is a little like the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Jayden Valley Oh yeah, Grevin Smith conversation we had. But yeah,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: it was one where the twenty twenty two recruiting class
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: they brought in four wide receivers and none of them
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: like not even not even like well sort of kind
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: of like not even a little well.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: And you had Caleb Burton, who was a top one
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: hundred guy for a while, he was a five star
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: guy like as a sophomore junior, Caleb Brown who was
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: a top one hundred guy, Kean Grays who was like
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: top two hundred, and then Kojo Entry who was around
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: there as well, a top three hundred ish, and then
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: now you left none of them, they're all gone. Only
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: three of them caught passes, well all three three of
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: them caught a pass, so there's not even not even
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: a plural. There three catches for fifteen yards for that
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: entire course, and Kachoanthry with one for eight Caleb Brown
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: had one catch, and Kean Grace had one catch. In
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: their careers, and that's those guys that class, they're going
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: to be seniors on the twenty twenty five team, and
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: there's no senior class on the twenty twenty five teaber receivers. Yeah,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: it's great you got Jeremiah Smith. It's great that you've
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: got Caleb or you've got Darnelta, and you've got Brandon Innis.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: But when you lose an entire senior class at any position,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: even I don't have to state, yeah, well we don't seniors. Seniors,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: you know, juniors leaving you're replacing. Not everybody leaves as
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: a junior. Sometimes when they leave as freshmen and sophomores,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: it is it takes a toll.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Well, it does become a depth question at this point
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: because now you had Bryson Rodgers during the portal last year,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and then he came back and you look at that
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and it's like, oh boy, that's real big to have
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Bryson Rodgers back. Because now going in next year, you
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: figure you got that you're losing you like a booka.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: But you have Carnel Tate, you have Brennan and as
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you have Jeremiah Smith. Those are probably you're you know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: certainly three guys who are absolutely in the mix. If not,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you're three starters. You keep Bryson Rodgers, that's four. They
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: don't need that much. They don't need nine guys. And
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: they brought in what three receivers in this class yet?
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Well, and you've got Mylon Graham and Damorian.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's four class Yeah, and Milon Grahma former
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: five star guy. I know he really didn't play much
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: at all, but you have you know, you have him.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: You've got Tomurian Whitten who really didn't play at all.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But you've got three now guys coming in this year.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I do wonder if that's a spot where they look
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: at someone in the portal and tang you find you know,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you're not looking for like the gunner Hope Chris chuganof necessarily,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: but you're looking for a guy who's is there a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: guy from the MAC who is okay with like a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Will Pasmeric thing where you come in and you're not
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: necessarily going to get all of the snaps, but you
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: find a guy who can be a good, solid, better
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: in piece, because otherwise you're really behind those times those
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: four guys talked about, you're really relying on nothing guys
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: who haven't done it yet.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's four guys in this class with Philip bell,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Z Jones, Quincy Porter, and Bob Miller. Bob Miller is
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: gonna take some time playing quarterback and developing into a receiver.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: So so much of the depth as the young guys.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: And that's a tough position to be in when you're
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: gonna have six guys on the team who have really
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: never next year, like never done anything with freshman eligibility.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: And so Brian Harline does not like to go into
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: the portal, has only gone into the portal once for
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: his own guy. Wouldn't shock me if they go find
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: a veteran presence or maybe a young guy that got away.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Mike Hudson, Texas Tech freshman into the portal was a
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: five star complete stud but had a difficult freshman year
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: with injuries. Like do they do something like that where
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Larry Johnson would get back on the phone with the
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: guys who like Antoine Jackson who got away and now, hey,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: how's it going? Yeah, would you like to you know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: you know, you liked Eric Klea Downs. I mean there's
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: another good example of that. But you know, like they'll
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: have numbers, But do they have the numbers that they
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: want at the.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Top, right, you could have in terms of just bodies
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in that room. Yeah, absolutely, In terms of guys who
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: are ready to contribute if someone gets hurt in fall camp,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: which happens sometimes, you got to have more than three
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: healthy guys who have played before. Because it's great to say, well, like, oh, well,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: why don't they just pull another Jeremiah Smith out.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: It's like, well they did that.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: The next one's going to come around around in about
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: twenty five to thirty years.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: So that was last year's solution.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, next year you maybe maybe can do that
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: with Chris Henry, Mile and Graham.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Mile and Graham didn't play a whole heck of a
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: lot this year. The talent is there, but you didn't
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: see a lot. Michael Hudson at Texas Tech, he really
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: didn't play a whole heck of a lot.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: The talent is there, and I know part of it
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: was injuries, but I don't think it was entirely.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: So okay, what I will raise my hand and confess
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: that I did not watch Texas Tech football completely, you know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: very closely this year. Is he just an immediate. You know, well,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: he used to be a five star, so obviously he's amazing.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know we you know, you have seen five
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: stars transfer away from Ohio was date before, and it's like, well,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: that guy's never going to play, and then that guy
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: never plays, and but you see wherever he transferred to going,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, he was a five star. It's like,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: sometimes that works great and sometimes, you know, sometimes you
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: get Caleb Downs and sometimes you get Tyreek Johnson.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, do you remember the excitement
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: from the Nebraska fans when there was five star cornerback
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Tyrek Johnson transferring? And there are there's the recruiting rankings,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: and then there's the reality of why why haven't you played?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Why weren't you as good as advertised? Other than the
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: fact that I was a true freshman, Like yeah, but that's.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And that's absolutely true with with someone like Michael Hudson
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: or someone like my alend and where the expectation is not.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Jeremiah Smith, Brandon Innis.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: We're talking about Brandon Innis as like, you know, one
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: of the sort of proven things going on next year.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Brandon has had one catch last year. Now it was
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: a long one. He gets produe, but it had one catch.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you get one catch and it's like, well, here's
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a portent of things to come. And sometimes you get
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: one catch and it's like, well, and then he'll be
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: in the portal in two years. And you just you
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily know because there's just it's such a long
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and winding path and physical development and being willing to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: put in the work, to work on the little stuff,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: all of that stuff factors in.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I will say I do really like Quincy Porter, who's
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: like six or four two hundred pounds, and Brian Day
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: talked about how they don't really recruit guys like and
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: they haven't gotten guys like him.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: He's like, well, you know Jeremi Smith. And then and then.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Like Quincy Porter, roll, you know, he'll get stronger, he'll
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: get faster. That's what it takes for those bigger guys.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Jeremy Smith is different, Like he's like acknowledge like all
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: of that stuff that we're talking about with Princey Porter,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: like that does not apply to Jeremy Smith. He is
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: He's our already as fast as he needs to be,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: as big as he needs to be, as strong as
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: he needs to be Princy porter will take some time
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: to get it get up to speed literally figuratively.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they have cashed in there, Jeremiah Smith.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: They will not get another Jeremiah Smith for at least
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: a generation or so. Maybe Jeremiah Smith junior. Jeremih Smith
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: does have a younger brother. I don't know if Jeremi
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Smith's younger brother will be able to live up to
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Jeremih Smith's standard, but that's okay, they have one. Don't
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: get greedy. So Kojo Andthrey does hit the Transfer Portal.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Not something that's going to make a massive impact in
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: terms of this year's playoff run, but something that could,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you know, impact the depth a little bit for next year.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: And we'll see how that all plays out. So we'll
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: continue covering. Sure we'll have This will not be the
