  Speaker 3: Tony Gerdaman here with me again. Another camp day, our
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: second of really four this week. There's a seven on
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: seven tomorrow and then Thursday we'll have another camp. So
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: it's a four day week for especially for me with
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: recruiting coverage, trying to survive it. Nice weather today though, right,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: better weather? I yes, this is what you uh, that's
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: what you hope for. I don't mind a little overcast bay.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: It was today was sunny and uh, not too hot,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: nice little breeze. Sometimes the quarterbacks are throwing against the wind,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: which also made it interesting.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's start with the quarterbacks. Brady Edmonds.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: This is the last time we talked about Brady Edmonds
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: a camp this summer. He's heading home tonight finally, but
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: did camp with the Buckeyes for the first three camps.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Donald Tabron another guy that you watched, Yeah.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Twenty twenty eight from Detroit Castech. Yep.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: So there's some buzz that he's going to be the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: next big thing in Michigan, which we'll make for an
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: interesting battle if Ohio State is interested. I'm not saying
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the next Price Underwood or anything like that, but always
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: interesting to watch the uh the inter state bat so
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: he was. He was impressive. He was one of those guys.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: It's also high energy and is always having fun. Like
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: after quarterback throws a pass, they go and become a receiver.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: She's like when they're doing their just position drills, it's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: always trying to make highlight catches and you know, just
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: just that kind of kid where he's out there having fun.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: At twenty twenty eight.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Of course, as you said, Brady Edmund back throwing the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: ball all over the place again and still dealing with receivers.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: You aren't quite wier State Caliver most.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Of the times.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's an interesting quarterbacks dam because actually thought
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks group was really good.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: The problem is a lot of them were twenty twenty
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: sevens and it was just.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Like, what what do we even talk about there? Because
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: there's nothing at this point to talk about until they
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: figure out what they're doing in twenty twenty six, and
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: they are going to do something in twenty twenty six,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: whether it's a high school prospect or a transfer portal
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: guy or something. So it's almost like kind of back
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: burner names at this point.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: But with Tabron.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: That that's an interesting guy because they are, you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: full speed ahead of twenty eight. They're they're able to
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: get ahead sorrow on that, and we've talked about wonderful
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Mons and Nemon, Lawrence and those guys, So I think
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: the Bron's probably another guy to add to the list.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And Lawrence told me he'll be here next week, So
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that's another twenty twenty eight guy to watch.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the when you get the twenty seven.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Guy locked in, and Brady Edmonds seems about as locked
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: in as you can be, you know, when he's got
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: like a foundation type of thing that's helping provide for
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: people here in central Ohio. Like that seems like the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: kinder guy. That's that's beyond tattoo. To me, that's beyond
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the block out tattoo. Why are you doing stuff like that?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: So then you just you move on to the next
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: year and you get as much scouting as you can,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: build those relationships and figure out what you want. And
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I think the twenty seven stuff, if they're looking at
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: taking a second quarterback, they've gotten a lot of a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: look at a lot of guys that they can start
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to de side.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: If we're gonna do it, it would be bing bang boom.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Yep yep to get a head start, and then you
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: can kind of line up the first four or five
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: games of film and started making some decisions on what
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: you're gonna be doing with that quarterback room. So I'm
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: sure I was a productive day. I saw Ryan Day
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: out there watching him, so he was taking some mental
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: notes and and so he was he was paying attention.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: And and Ryan Day doesn't out he's not out here
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: wasting time.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: So you know, if he's watching, he's he's looking for
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: something specifically. So interesting day with the quarterbacks receiver headliner
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Bryson Wright twenty twenty eight, Jacksonville Mandarin, five star caliber guy.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Next big thing out of Florida is not.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not going you will never ever hear me say
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: next Jeremiah Smith. I'm not going to do that to
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: any kid ever. But next, you know, five star caliber
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: wide receiver out of Florida looked great.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe just go with like the next Trayvon Grinds. That's like.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the next thing out of Florida is he.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Looks like it, and he's he's already built like a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: college receiver and he's you know, legit six three six' four, ish, solid.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Explosive but, AGAIN i didn't get to see him do too.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Much you saw you saw some of the releases and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: things like that in his route. Running but in terms
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: of the the quarterback accuracy today was was waxing and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: waiting a little bit here and.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: There, yeah these are always tough with the one on
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: ones because there's just no. Chemistry there's no chemistry between
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: between receivers and. Quarterbacks a lot of these. Routes they try.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: And make them run real.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Routes but even some of these, routes it's, like how
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: how explain to me how that's possible in a game
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: and how that's gonna.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Work and you've Got you've Got Tavor, johnson one of
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: The Ohio state assistant defensive back, coach yelling at all
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of the defensive backs don't, grab don't grab the entire,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: time they.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Don't don't go to the ground and they're taking guy gets.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Tackled.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so but But bryce was very, explosive very. Impressive
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: harland was spending a lot of. Time, yes, yes basketball,
• 6:38
