• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Hello everyone, welcome to the Skull Session and Recruiting Podcast,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: brought to you by Buckeyehuddle dot com. I'm Mark Givler,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: joins here by Kevin Noon. We are mid Southern Swing.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: We are probably aren't about two thirds of the way
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I think through the through Southern Swing. We just had
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: a great trip here in Florida. We are finished with
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: our interviews in Florida. We'll be moving on here in
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the next day or so to some new destinations, which
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: we'll update you guys on as as needed. But a
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: lot of town obviously down here in Florida, some really
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: good stops. Any big takeaways from the trip.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: You know, I think it's just a matter of I
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: think the state is pretty spread out I mean, it
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: would have been really easy to get locked down in
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: South Florida. I mean, your traditional powers are still powerful.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: But we did not spend a lot of time at
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Saint Thomas Aquinas, we did not go to American Heritage
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: for the first time in a while. Shamana Madonna still loaded.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: But you know, we were able to hit both coasts.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: We were able to hit South Florida as well. I
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: mean I think that you know, Florida is very open
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: for business for Ohio State, and that's not going to
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: change anytime soon.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Our first stop was in Jacksonville, really good stop at
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Bowl School. A ton of talent there. Of course, Ohio states.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Two commits there, Simon Caldwell and Corbyn Fordham Calledwell being
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: a safety maybe linebacker, probably safety, and Corbyn Fordham, of
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: course being a tight end. Those guys are very locked in.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: That's I guess something that I learned here is, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: in the in the era of committing, but somehow keeping
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: your recruitment open and still taking all these visits. These
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: two aren't playing those games. They are shut down. They
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: are done. Neither one is taking a visit since committing.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Neither one of plans to take another visit other than
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Ohio State. Uh and and those guys are just they
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: just feel very locked in, not just in terms of
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: like the recruiting process, just like mentally locked in on
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: getting ready to beat to be bluck eyes.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: I kind of joked about it in our Georgia recap
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: about guys that are locked in, and I mentioned I
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: don't remember if it was Fordam or if it was
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: called Well, but I was like, you know, somebody like
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: that's going to be locked in. And that was the
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: day that we actually did those interviews, so you know
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: that that ended up being true. And it's nice to
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: have those guys. Now, that doesn't mean that you can
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: just ignore them, that you can just rubbo dial them
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: and be everything's going to be fine. You still want
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: to keep content, but without having to expend a ton
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: of resources in terms of the because the time I
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: think is the most valuable of all the commodities. You
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: only have so much time to recruit along with everything
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: else that's out there. Not having to put a ton
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: of time into that is going to help Ohio State
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: in terms of pursuing maybe some of the other names
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: within the state of Florida. And you have two ambassadors
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: here in Florida that can help Ohio State's recruiting efforts.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Everybody seems to know everybody to a certain extent, whether
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: it's from seven on seven or just you know, or
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: just whatever it is. I mean, it's it's a lot
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: different now it used to be thirty years ago. You sign,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: you enroll, and then you're excited to meet the guys
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: for the first time.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: That's not how it works anymore.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: No, and one guy they will be recruiting. They've got
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: a teammate. They're twenty twenty eight Asher Ghetto, a big
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: defensive end, really impressive kid, really impressive player. Sleep very
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: early there. But I came up on a visit with
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: corbyin floridam earlier in the spring, and they really seem
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: like they're gonna they're gonna be going after him pretty hard.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: We did have an interview with him.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna fall on my own sword right here, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: we had a microphone issue, really a battery issue with
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: the microphones. We will be circling back to try and
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: get some sort of audio interview with him. A really
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: really good looking player for being somebody so young. But yes,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: we will continue to be making visits to the Bowls
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: School for years to come.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Of course, then we made it down to South Florida.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: We weard Vero.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Vero, you're right, we go is that Central Florida.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: It's on the It's on the because it's it's sixty
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: miles north of West Palm.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you Floridians can tell us is that Central
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Florida or South Florida. I think it's Central Florida personally,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: but uh, Vero Beach. Two very tremendous players. Champ Smith
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, offensive lineman, long time high state priority
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Buck Guy's get the last official visit the weekend of
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: June twentieth. I just I continue to feel good about
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: that one for Ohio State.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that one.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: He said all the right things. I mean, it just
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: continues to make a ton of sense. You know, he's
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: a player that really seems to understand his priorities and
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: it doesn't seem like he's somebody who one dollar more
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: is going to get him to go somewhere else. The
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: relationship is there now with Tyler Bowen, you know, I
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: just think everything is moving in the right direction there.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Even if you do get the commitment in July after
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: the visits or August, they're still going to have to
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: hold on. You know, it's a Florida player. Everybody's going
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: to be, you know, really coming after him. But he
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: does not appear to be somebody who's going to play
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: the game all the way through. I think once he
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: commits somewhere, it's going to be hard to move him
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: off of it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I do like where Ohio State stands going
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: into that, going into this round of official visits that
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: he's got twenty twenty eight teen eight quarterback also goes
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: by Champ wonderful Monds Champ Monds as he is called
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: by his friends and family because he is a fourth
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: generation so they got you know, you can't just call
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: every you can't be running around calling everyone the same thing.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: So he's he's been nicknamed Champ as well since since
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: he was a baby Little Champ, yes, little Champ at
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Vero Beach because he got a little Champ in big Champ.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: So really impressive young man. Ohio Steed already offered him
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: already just coming out of his freshman year, so they've
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: been very impressed with his arm, talent and his maturity,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: good size, about six' three over two hundred, pounds already
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: can move a little, bit had had what his father
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Played Major League, baseball his grandfather played in THE. Nfl
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: all sorts of athletic geens in that. FAMILY i was
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: really impressed just with his.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Maturity, yeah when we were talking with his, coach and
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: there's just you know a lot of positivity about out
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: his game and where he is, already and he is
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: somebody who does seem to, have you, know some wisdom
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: beyond his, years AND i think that's going to be you,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: know really important in his. Development and something else that
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: we learned when the cameras were off there's An Ohio
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: state tie with the head, Coach, yes.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Head coach Of Vera beach married to An Ohio state.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Fan so.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Just it never. Ends it's the reach of the fan.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: BASE i, Mean i'm sure there's going to be some
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: team functions where she'll be decked out in scarlett and
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: gray and already with WITH. T. J alford At Ohio.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: State and then If Champ, Smith Big champ goes To Ohio,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: state it may be very difficult for Little, champ who
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: will then just be Only champ at that point to
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: get away, yeah and you, KNOW i met.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: An Ohio state fan two on the sidelines at The
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Vera beach spring game last year. Too so it just
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: you never get away from, it do You just constantly
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: constantly running to people who are fans Of Ohio, state
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: who are From, ohio who went To Ohio. State just
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: a very interesting part of this trip for. Sure then
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: we made it To South, florida we'll go With we'll
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: go with aquinas First Justice fitzpatrick forced our, cornerback younger
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: brother of Micka. Fitzpatrick we were really just trying to
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: get a feel for that. One, uh this has you,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: know he was offered very, early but there wasn't like
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a crazy amount of buzz between him And Ohio state
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: for for a long. Time that started to change maybe
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: a few months, ago he. Said They Tim walton's really
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: started to pick things up over the last few. Months
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: they did get. Them they were able to get him
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: to visit in the, spring and now he's got an
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: official visit. SET i still think there's probably some catchup
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: to do, there but that was a more positive update
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: THAN i THINK i.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: EXPECTED i Think Ohio state's in this my you, KNOW
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: i had a big change of opinion. TOO i, Mean
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: i'm not ready to Call Ohio state the team to
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: beat by any stretch of the. Imagination talked to him last,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: year it just seemed like it was a foregone conclusion
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: that he was going to follow In minca's footsteps and
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: go To.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Alabama and we talked to him about.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Schools alabama is absent from the, List so once that,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: happens it's kind of a brand new. Ballgame and if
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: you were you, know third or fourth or fifth on the,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: LIST i, mean when you take the family connection school
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: out of the, EQUATION i, mean it really kind of
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: throws things. Around, so you, know this is one That
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: i'm going to be very interested to see kind of
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: what his post visit vibes are because it's one that you,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: know he's not somebody who's new to. This he watched
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: his big brother get recruited and go through this whole,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: process so he is he has a lot of his
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: own wisdom here because he's he's witnessed, it and he
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: has an advocate in his corner with his big. Brother
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: And i'm Sure minca is going to sit there and tell, him,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: look obviously it's your. Decision you got to come to.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: It but here are things THAT i saw as positives
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: and negatives for all of these. THINGS i, Mean mica
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: is obviously, busy probably not going on the visits with,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: him but you, know he can still be a great.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Council, yeah and just even said Like minca may try
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: and once he narrows it down to two or three,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Schools minca may try and just go to those schools
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: by himself without justice and you, know get a feel for,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Things so.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Keep an eye out for.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: That but, YEAH i think that one obviously is moving
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: in a good. Direction so we'll see what happens on
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: the Official but, YEAH i think, again wasn't sure what
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: to expect coming into that one went pretty, WELL i
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: thought in terms of my impressions of his impressions Of Ohio.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: State so we will See shaman On madonna Loaded Derek
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: cooper obviously twenty twenty six running back is the short
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: term key. Target you, know this one's continued to me
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: a little bit tough to get a read. On he
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: does the right thing things With Ohio. State he's visited
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: numerous times, now which is not an easy trip to.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Make does have a very good relationship With Carlos. LAUGHLIN
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: i think as he heads into this around of official
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: visits and he's gonna make a, bunch he's gonna be
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: more than. FIVE i it was like seven or. Eight
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: he's GOT i have to Have, GEORGIA i think the,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: edge BUT i Think Ohio. State you, know if it's
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: seven or eight, VISITS i Think Ohio state is certainly
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: in the top half of, that maybe even in the
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: top two or. THREE i JUST i don't. Know there's
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: something About georgia, here their recent history with running, backs
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: coupled with maybe what the depth chart looks, like that
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: makes me feel like The buckeyes are going into officials
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: needing to really kind of Leapfrog georgia.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Exactly and when YOU i, mean we're still in a
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: new world of where you can take more than five.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: VISITS i mean it's not new to this, year but
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: it's still relatively. New and you wonder if there is
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: a level of fatigue that develops with the. Visits so
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: if you're not getting one right off the, BAT i
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: mean a lot of times we say we want to
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: get the last. ONE i don't, know if a player
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: is taking eight, VISITS i want to be one or
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: two BECAUSE i think at some point everything starts to
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: sound the, same and you, know how, many how many
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: different places can you go out and get a stake
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: and you, know and be shown, around et, cetera et,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: cetera et. Cetera certainly a, FIELD i mean a feeling
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: that the field is the overwhelming favorite in this.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: One but you, know strange things.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Happen and it's a position WHERE i think things are
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: moving rapidly For Ohio state in terms of what's going
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: to be. There Ohio state is telling players that it's
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: going to take. Two and when you have, three four
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: or five on the, board you, know and granted some
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: of the guys That i'm thinking of are not as
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: high on the. Board you just have to you have,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: to you have to pull the trigger on some of.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: THEM i, mean ultimately it's on the player to pull the.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Trigger but you have to sit there and, say all,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: right we're open for. Business you, know first two in
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: can get. IN i think, that you, know Obviously Ohio
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: state would love to Have Derek, cooper BUT i think
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: that there are others that are further down the path right.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Now, Yeah LIKE i think they sit in a better
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: position With Carson baker out Of, georgia who we also
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: sat down. With you can check that out on the.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Channel certainly favor a key Here Central Ohio Local. PROSPECT
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: i think those two are probably the two they sit
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the best with right, now followed By cooper And. Hyder
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: so it's gonna be, interesting. Though we got to see
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: someone's got to blink, here like the first domino has to.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Fall one of those four has got to commit somewhere
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: to maybe set off a domino effect kind of a you,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: know a chain reaction if you, Will AND i think
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: that's how this is going to play. Out someone's going
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: to set off the chain reaction and that's going to
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: kind of impact other decisions that are made both By
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Ohio state and by the other. Players so it's gonna
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: be interesting to see how that all plays. Out so
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: much talent there twenty twenty eight class is. Loaded there's
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: probably six or seven rising sophomores we could have.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Interviewed we could still be there.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Now, yeah, honestly the amount of sophomore talent they had out,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: there guys are going to be starting for them this,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: year just big name. Guys you, know we did talk
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: To Peter. PIERRE i will never ever in a million.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Years Usually Jeremiah smith comparison on a, kid but this
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: is a, big physically imposing kid that can. Move he's
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: about six, four he's like two point, fifteen got good.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Hands he was super impressive watching him move around in.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Practice and then we had a great interview with, him
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: which we'll have up on the channel very shortly as,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: well just kind OF i guess some first impressions Of Peter.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Pierre.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: YEAH i mean, again it's not fair to anybody to
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: try and lump them into the same category one of
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: one Of Jeremiah. Smith though it's easy when you look
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: at the build and you look at the high school
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: and everything else and, say, WELL i mean this could
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: be the next well you, know tap the brake a little,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: bit but really impressive. Kid it's going to be a
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: super national. RECRUIT i, think just as long As jeremiah,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: keeps you, know Doing jeremiah, things that doesn't Hurt Ohio state's.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Cause but you, know this Is Peter. Pierre this is
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: not you, know this is Not Peter.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Smith he's you, know there's he's not contractually bound under
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: any way shape or for him to have to Follow,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: jeremiah and in some. Ways he may not even want
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: to Follow jeremiah because that's those are gigantic shoes to
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: have to. Follow But Ohio state is not out there
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: necessarily recruiting. Receivers it's, selecting AND i think that for
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: twenty eight it would love to Select Peter.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Pierre, yeah very impressive. Kid, yeah let's just call let's
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: let's let's not do The Jeremiah smith. Thing let's just
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: say next outstanding receiver out of Shaman On. Madonna let's
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: put it that. Way and you, know, again very high
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: On Ohio state early. ON i think they're going to
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: have being that one as long as they want to.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Be AND i so that that's a kid for me
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: to keep an eye. On, isaac another twenty twenty eight,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: receiver has seventeen, offers already does not have A High
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: state yet says he wants that. One they're one of
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: his favorite schools to. Watch he's a Big Jeremiah smith.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Fan different type of game Than Jeremiah. Smith he's five,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: eleven six, foot he's probably more of your slot. Guy
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: he's probably more of Your Brandon innis or to throw
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: a Former Shamana madonna guy out, there more of like
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: A Josiah trader type of. Receiver but he was also
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: super impressive with, practice tremendous quickness and acceleration and ability
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: to separate and make tough catches over the. Middle just
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of good things that he showed throughout. Practice
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: and so that'll be one to watch If Ohio state,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: offers and it feels, like you, know they probably, WILL
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: i mean they probably will offer a kid like that
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: At shaman On, madonna but, yeah definitely a kid that
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: wants the.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Offer, YEAH i think that in terms of the, offer
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: it's a matter of when rather than. IF i don't
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: think that people may be, Concerned, well if you already
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: has seventeen offers In ohio state's not in it? YET i,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: mean Is Ohio state already been passed? Over, no the
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: interest In Ohio state is already, there you, know with
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: him growing up as we feel old on these trips
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: and we talked to players about who they, watched and
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: they talk about guys who just graduated or a year
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: away from, graduation and it's just kind of a crazy
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: dynamic with all of. That but you, KNOW i think
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: that there's just so much talent At SHAMAN A madonna
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: and they'll just come out and have to hand offers
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: out like candy at some. Point and there are already
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: a lot of them that are sitting on offers that
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: we just couldn't get to because it was in the
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: nineties and we got there and everybody just wanted to
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: get off of the field and we weren't going to
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: sit there and tell, somebody, hey can you hang out
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: for an, hour because we got to get through these
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: other three four.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Guys, Yeah alexander beltran a defensive end From shanamdonna has an.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Offer in twenty, eight we saw a defensive back by
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the name of A Dwayne ray the third who was very,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: impressive big physical defensive. Back that might be an aim
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: to watch there in twenty eight as. Well there were
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of names to watch that. Program And, yeah
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: to your point of feeling, old Having Champ mons tell
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: us he grew up WATCHING. C. J stroud was something. Else, So,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: UH i could feel my hair turning even more grave
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: when he was said that those words were coming out of.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: It AND i could feel my hair falling. Out Uh.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Uh so you, know a great trip there Is South.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Florida then we get up and we get into Again Central,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: florida but on The Gulf, coast and we a couple
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: of stops, there and, uh you know the one that you,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: know REALLY i think is going to Excite Ohio state
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: fans just because of how passionate he seemed About Ohio
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: state Was Caden, henderson five star linebacker in twenty. Seventeen
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: he's basically twenty seventeen's version Of Tyler ackeckts or twenty
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: twenty Seven. GEESON i was going to jump.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: IN i was gonna let you finish your, thought BUT
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: i was going to jump.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: At Doc, brown get me back out of the you,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: know like get me out of The DeLorean and back
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: back to the future. Here but, yeah twenty twenty seven
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: five star Linebacker Cayden, henderson and, he, man is he?
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Impressive LIKE i, said he's kind of that Classes Tyler.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Atkinson he's a number one linebacker in the. Country he's
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: a five star. Prospect he's, fast he's, physical he's, explosive
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: AND i zarid Bupswill High state twice and he's gonna
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: come back In june for a third.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: VISIT i, mean then that's what's. Important you want to
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: build those. Relationships, Obviously James laurniitis is going to be key.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Here we're dealing with players. Now we're finally getting to
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: the age of players now where maybe certainly they don't
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Remember James laurnidis the collegiate, player and maybe we're even
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: kind of getting away From James laurniitis THE nfl, Player
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: but what they do know is a very dynamic coach
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: that's very hands, on that could get out. There it
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: looks like he could still run drills with, him and
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: that's going to be very. IMPORTANT i, MEAN i think
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: more conversations With Matt, patricia even though a lot of
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: people feel this could be kind of a one and
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: done For Matt patricia if things go, well and, certainly you,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: know not a long term type of, situation but you
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: want to sit there and show these players that the
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: program is not taking a step back after the departure
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Of Jim, knowles not after you, know not going to
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: take a step back in terms of being the number
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: one defense last. Year that these are all things that
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: are going to continue and you, know will really necessitate
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: players Like Kden henderson to to keep the to keep
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: the standard.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Up, yeah like He henderson's got a great relationship With
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: thornis already he said. THAT i, said it's my, guy
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: AND i did know a little bit About lornie's playing.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Career knew he led the rams and tackles there for
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: a few. Years so definitely highly interested. There met With
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Mount patricia on his spring, visit came to The purdue game,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: previously did not talk To Jim. Knowles read into that
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: whatever you, want But patricia sat down them for a few.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Minutes they were able to have a little quick chat
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: and get that relationship going as. Well so, again get
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: them up here In june and see what. Happens how
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: the how the workout goes With. Lolaornis i'm sure they you,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: know got to see if that's a good. Fit they
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: seem to really enjoy each other's company at this, point
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: and they get to kind of work on the player
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: coach relationship a little more In june when he makes
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: it up for one of the camp. Days so that's
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: definitely a guy to. Watch it's gonna be a top
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: target in twenty twenty, seven for. Sure so that's a
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: guy you're going to want to remember that. Name then
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: we go we also go To Clearwater High, school and
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: this one's interesting twenty twenty six offensive Tackle Sam. Roseboro
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: this one has moved very quickly last few, months type of.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Quickly had had really no contact With Ohio state Until
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Tyler bowen arrived And Tyler bowen called down there the
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: first day he took The Ohio state job to call
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: About Sam. Roseboro And rosebroo also has a relationship With Marcus,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: johnson who was a new assistant over line coach who
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: was At purdue and Offered roseboro early in the. Process
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: so there's a lot of interesting dynamics that While Hive
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: state's playing ketchup on some other, programs there's a lot
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: of interest seeing dynamics here that have allowed them to
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: catch up pretty, quickly right.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: And you you he releases a list with no official
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: visit To Ohio state and then he amends it to
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: At Ohio.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: State So Ohio state has a lot of.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Momentum at least there's a lot of curiosity to see
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: What Ohio state's.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: About and then you have to just go and do
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: your best to to make it.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Happen AND i think That Ohio state has already done
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: a good enough job to pique his. Interest but what
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: will you, know what will carry on from, there and
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: and And sam was very good at not really tipping
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: his hand that. Much just because he's new to The
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Ohio state recruitment doesn't mean he's new to, Recruiting so you,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: know he wasn't going to offer up much either on
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: or off. Camera but you, KNOW i think that this
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: is one that people do need to keep an eye.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: On i'm Not i'm not predicting any sort of success because,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: again this is one you don't you don't. Know there
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: are times where we have a pretty good feeling That
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Ohio state is going to get. SOMEBODY i can, say
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: can't speak For. MARK i can, say as of the
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: time and we're recording, THIS i have no earthly idea
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Where sam is going to. Go But Tyler bowen is
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: putting in.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Work, yeah that was a tough, read And sam's kind
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: of a man a few. Words it was a good.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Interview he did well with, it but he's not going
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: to go out of his way to give you anything
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: extra on certain, things so he's keeping a little bit
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: close to the VEST i Think Ohio state's got a.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Chance whether that's a puncher's chance or a great, CHANCE
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: i think to be. Determined but again working this, quickly
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: getting him up on the official late in the spring
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: or on the unofficial late in, spring and then having
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: him basically rearrange his official visits scheduled accommedy To Ohio
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: state is an awfully good sign that things are progressing
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: in a good. Direction so we'll see where that one.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Goes but, again he'll be up for the official In,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: june AND i think again that round of officials will
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: tell the tales another kid who's going to decide in the,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: summer probably In, July so keep an eye on that
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: one as well as you. Know with and it's, interesting
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: you want as a, fan you'd want them to have
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: a couple more guys in the class within a month or.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Two but there's in such a different space right. NOW
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: i think IN o line, recruiting like there's like six
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: or seven guys they've got a shot at and they
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: don't need to get all six or seven of. Them
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: they just need to get two or three of, Them
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: whereas last, year just in the last couple of, years
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: it just felt, like, oh you, know if they don't
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Get David, sanders or if you, know if they've got
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: these two, guys if they don't get either of those
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: or both of those this, class can you, know be
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: kind of. Uncertain this isn't like. That this is like
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: they are legitimately on six or seven guys With, again
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: if you get two of these guys that we've talked
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: about In Southern swing and some of the other guys
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: that we know are out, there that is a tremendous
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: offensive line.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Class the recruitment Of Felix ojo is not going to
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: make or break this. Class, now obviously you Want ohio.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Stuff you're watching this year more than likely An Ohio state.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Fan you Want Ohio state to Land. Felix but it,
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: yeah there's not one lynchpin that is going to determine
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: if the class was successful or. Unsuccessful the net seems
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: to be cast a little bit. Wider, now is it
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: that twenty six has more high four star type alignment
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: that you can kind of get away with or is
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: it a matter of that you're looking and it's, like
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: these are all guys that would absolutely fit and work
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: in the system and we can coach them up and
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: develop them. UP i think time's going to tell a
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: little bit on that. One but it certainly feels like
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: a different approach it certainly shows a coach that has
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: really strong recruiting. Chops And i'm NOT i really Like Justin.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Fry it's not a negative statement toward, him but his
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: recruiting was not as dynamic As Tyler. Bowen so you,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: KNOW i guess we'll kind of see here at the.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: End and you, Know Ohio state certainly could take a
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: really big class because you know they've not necessarily hit
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: their number in recent.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Years, yeah and again this isn't like Giving bowen all
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: these props and putting Down Justin. Fry bowen's got some
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: stuff to live up to in terms of the development,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: component Because Justin fry was very good in the development
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: component and we just don't know yet On Tyler. Bowen
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: we'll find out a lot more this fall into next.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Season but so just a different, again like you, said
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: a different, approach different way of doing, things and we'll
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: see which way ends up. Better but it does feel
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Like Ohio state's putting themselves in more into the mix
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: with more big timelinemen than they have in recent. Years
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: so very good news there for the buck. Guys we
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: will again this is wrapping up our floor to part
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: of The Southern swing we will have more. Content we're
