  Speaker 2: Hey it's Chuck.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: We are not bemoaning the noon kickoff. We're now owning it.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: It's a badge of honor. We're the lunatic fringe that
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: defines our coaches legacy when it comes to this game.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: They don't get to define that outside the family. Who
• 0:50

  Speaker 3: get to beat Oklahoma? No way in hell. I don't
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: know what world I'm living in. This is insane to me.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: And if you saw my outburst, I apologize.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: It's showtime now.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: It is showtime. Man.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Welcome into Buckeye Huddle primetime as we are here every
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Monday and Thursday at eight pm live talking Buck guys,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: talking college football, talking the huge weekend, the NFL Draft,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the Buck Eyes land another commit in the class of
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven, and I am stoked about it. I'll
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: show you why, will I will? I show you why
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: did I load that up? Let's double check. Oh, your
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: boy always prepared, also always sixty seconds late. I've noticed
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Tim only sixty seconds slate. But I do appreciate you
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: guys for joining me as we did not have this
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: loaded up and we will obviously, guys, a huge weekend
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: for the Buck guys, all the talk around college football.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Ohio State's draft nothing short of records setting, as in
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: the history of college football record setting. And that's great,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: that's awesome. We love an NFL success. We love to
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: brag about it, love to watch it on Sundays, love
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: it when there's a random game and I'm not too interested.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Oh there's a buck guy I'm watching. But in this
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: era when money matters most in recruiting, how much does
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: it mean for the class of twenty twenty seven and
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: what kids does it matter the most too? Chris Lowe,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: reporter for a long time, is now with on three.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: He went to the Woody and did a huge interview
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: and wrote a huge write up with Ryan Day. James
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Laurniitis was in it, Jaylen McLain, Kenyatta Jackson, JJ A
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: couple of interesting tidbits I picked up from that. And
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: of course the Buckey's new commit now Tyler Bowen, his
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: tenth offensive lineman now committed to Ohio State in just
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: two years time.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: That's ten.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: It's just an Ohio for star though, so I'm sure
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: there's going to be some people that say we're overrating
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: what he's done so far. It's true the state has produced,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: and he's also done exactly what he's supposed to do,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: which makes me happy. We'll talk a little bit more
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: about him. I think he's a total dude. I think
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: he's a total dude, and if he was coming from Louisiana,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I think everybody be really really excited based off of
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: his film. But let's start by subscribing to Buckeye Huddle
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: if you have not yet liked this show, we really
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: appreciate you guys so much for joining us. Eleven Buckeyes drafted.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: In addition to those Buckeyes drafted CJ. Donaldson. The Donaldson
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: signed as an underracted free agent with the Saints, so
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: did time alone. The Saints loved their Buckeyes, that's for sure.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Long snapper John Furlman invited to the Browns rookie minie camp,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: and then of course we had the first rounders with
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Carnell Tennessee, Arvela the Giants, Sonning to the Commanders, Caleb
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: to the Cowboys. Them in the NFC East, which is
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: the division that's crammed most down our throat on NFL
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Sundays in primetime games, so I'm pretty happy about that. Also,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: none of them are four enemy teams of mine, and
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: it's just best if they're not going to play for
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: my team to keep them out of the AFC North,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: So I'm happy about that. Caden McDonald goes to my
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: boy's favorite team, the Houston Texans. Then you got Max
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Claire to the Rams, igb to the Bills. Love the
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: fit there. Round three, Will kas Merrick goes to the
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Dolphins in round three? How about that for Will kas Merrick,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Man that excites me. For him, a guy who just
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: busted his butt blocking last year, comes up with some
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: big catches in the end of the year and certainly
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: deserved that third round pick.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Round five, Lorenzo Styles to the Saints Buckeye South and
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: that was pretty cool. And then maybe the coolest of all,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: as we see kayd and Curry go back home to
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Indiana to play for the Colts, and that is a
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: really cool story for him.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Love Caden.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Now he's playing back home in Indy with forty four.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Gonna be a lot of fun watching the two of
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: them to play. And then in round seven, maybe the
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: most curious pick, Ethan on Yonwa gets drafted to the Falcons,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: and I gotta admit, while I was happy for Ethan,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: it just I had flashbacks to last year being so
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: disappointed that Seth McLaughlin wasn't drafted, and then you see Ethan.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Seth was obviously injured, but it was just like, man,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I just was so disheartened he wasn't drafted and this
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: dude couldn't crack the two deep and he's drafted, so hey,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: more power to him.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Hope he makes the team.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Obviously, good dude, certainly not a good college football player.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: We'll see if he can change and become a good
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: NFL player. But the Buckey's leading the country, of course,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: eleven draft picks. Now second year in a row they
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: lead the country in draft picks. They increase their lead
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: in all time drafts to over one hundred twenty five picks,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: sorry first round draft picks. Twenty five picks over the
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: course of two years is a record that ties Georgia
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: over the course of twenty two and twenty three. And
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Georgia did that coming off their back to back national
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: championships that Ohio State should have stopped.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Ohio State should have stopped that.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Georgia should not have won back to back, but it
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: did not break the Buckeye's way that night. No other
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: programs have ever done that, No other programs have ever
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: had twenty five in a two year time period. And
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: we think about some of the historical dynasties in college football.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Nick Saban never did that. Most he ever had over
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: two years was twenty two. That's not even particularly close.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: USC under Pete Carroll didn't do it. None of the
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Miami dynasties did that over too. Matter of fact, they
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: only had twenty was their highest. Urban Meyer and all
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: his great seasons in great teams nineteen. Now, it is
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: true that you can get a little bit of a
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: boost here in this day and age by bringing in
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: some seniors out of the portal who are one and done's,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: But the vast majority of this Ohio State team were
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: guys that, even if they were transfers, were at Ohio
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: State for a couple of years, and the Buckeyes can
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: credit that development. Now next year, when we look at
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: that next year's draft, there might be quite a few
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: that came in one and done to the NFL draft.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Not this past one though, and certainly not twenty twenty four,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: But the amount of talent on this past team, this
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: last couple of years, the championship team in twenty twenty four,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: and then last year's team. Did you ever imagine in
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: your wildest dreams, when Urban Meyer was turning over the
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: whistle to Ryan Day or hitting him the sticks in
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: that video, hitting him the controllers that Ryan Day would
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: somehow turn that recruiting machine and just raise the bar
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: even higher. That was probably, I would say most Ohio
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: State fans' biggest concern was he gonna be able to
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: keep that up. Not only have they kept it up,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: and it certainly helped having the infrastructure stay there. But
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: it's even better, man, It's even better. It's pretty astounding,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: and I gotta say it is. It's great to be
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: a Buck guy. Man. It is so much fun to
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: really you think about all the places you could have
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: been born and all the programs you could have grown
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: up rooting for, and like you just happened to root for.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: The best one. It's amazing.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: It's really amazing, especially when you're a NFL teams the
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns or the Bengos. The Steeler fans excluded from this.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: You guys are just you got it all. When I
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: hear Steeler fans whine about what's going on with Pittsburgh
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: one for the thumb and now six like get out
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: of here with that. When we look back at that
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty fourteen, you keep hearing about this defense, right,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: and all the starters drafted from that defense fifteen NFL players.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: I went't even further and I looked at all the
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: guys that played one hundred snaps on that team, and
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: you got a total of twenty two guys in twenty
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: twenty four that played one hundred snaps on that defense,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: that National Championship defense. Twenty two guys played one hundred
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: snaps or more. One hundred snaps is kind of like
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: the contributor line for me. So fifteen of them have
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: already been drafted. We know the fifteen that have been drafted.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Who are the other ones that played one hundred snaps
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: or more? Well, you got Kenyatta Jackson. Is he going
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: to be drafted?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: That's sixteen Jermaine Matthews, he'll certainly be drafted. He had
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: over one hundred snaps. That's seventeen. Edric Houston over one
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: hundred snaps. He was a contributor on that team. That's eighteen.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Jalen McClain over one hundred snaps. He'll be drafted as well.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: That is nineteen guys, nineteen out of twenty two are
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: going to be drafted.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Maybe more.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: We'll find out here as Hero Canoe has another year
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: at Texas, and then you got CJ. Hicks at South Florida,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: and then you had Mitchell Melton. Mitchell Melton, despite a
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: really good year at Virginia, did not get drafted. He's
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: already been picked up as an undrafted free agent, and
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: he will be the first one of those guys that
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: contributed more than one hundred snaps that went undrafted, So
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: an unbelievable haul. Nineteen dudes, Man crazy Hero will likely
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: be drafted.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: CJ.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Hicks, I don't think he will be. I'm sure some
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: still think he's going to be Abdul Carter. We don't
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: need to rehash that again. We'll just wait another year
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: and find out. But what a collection of talent. It's
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: just unbelievable. What about next year when we look at
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: the prospects that could potentially be high round guys next year,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: for sure, you got Julian Saying, And for me, Julian
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Saying is going to be like the biggest lightning rod
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: conversation as we head out next year towards the I
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: certainly think he's gonna come out. I think he's gonna
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: have a really good season. You got Dante Moore, you
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: got Arch manning both of them, I think the majority
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: of college football fans will be saying vastly superior.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: To say it, I just get the.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Feeling that the general fan at large looks at those two,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: particularly Arch as the number one guy, and then Dante
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Moore is on a different level than Julian.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: But he's not. He's not.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: He's not even that much bigger, to be honest, though
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: he is from Cleveland and he's a Browns fan, so
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: we do like him for that. But Dante Moore, there's
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: not a whole lot that I think he has that
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Julian doesn't, outside of maybe a little extra mobility, but
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: saying has got this reputation now as being a kind
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: of a checkdown Charlie and I got an email the
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: other day in the Juckye mail bag, juck on Bucks
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: at Gmail send me if you got a question, and
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I wanted to go over this guys. He wrote out
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: a really long thing about Julian how he does not
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: quite understand how it is that somehow he's got this
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: reputation as this checkdown guy, and he's citing all of
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: his stats and he's right, Julian was the most accurate
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: deep ball passer in the country last year. The number
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: of deep balls was the same as Mendozes. The number
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: of intermediate balls was the same as Mendozes. Nobody calls
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Mendoza a checkdown Charlie. Why Julian saying? And I got
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: a theory on that. I think Julian saying last year
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: when he was so far above the record, remember the
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: accuracy record on the season. He was so far above
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: that record for so many weeks that people were seeing
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: that on Twitter and just assuming, because that record did
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: belong to Bo Nicks, who was a checkdown Charlie, that
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: it's gotta be because he's just throwing everything short. And
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: that assumption just started rolling, and the checkdown Charlie kind
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: of stuck to a lot of people who didn't watch him.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: And let's not forget nobody watched Ohio State outside of
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: US last year. Texas didn't watch him again till maybe
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Illinois and then Michigan because the schedule turned out to
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: be drivel and the Buckeyes were twenty one points every week,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: so by the time they watched him again, it was
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: totally different. But I really think it's going to be
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: super polarizing. I even saw geez. When I was writing
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: the notes for this show, I saw a Buckeye fan
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: on Twitter say this about about not this particular thing
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: about Julian, but just they saw him in a mock draft.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: I was like arch JJ and then Julian number three
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: and they were laughing at him at three. Now, I
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: just watched Ty Simpson ty Simpson, and I had to
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: go double check this. What did he How tall was
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: he at the combine? So Ty Simpson, Alabama's quarterback was
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: six foot one and one eighth at the combine six
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: foot one and one eighth and he got drafted in
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: the first round by the Rams. So if that dude
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: who is very hit or miss, he's nowhere near as
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: talented as Julian. Maybe a little bit of better athlete,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: and certainly will stick his head in there a little more.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Also when you listen to him, though he's not I
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: don't think he's as bright as Julian. No offense, he
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: just doesn't come off quite as sharp. And uh, you know,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: a team guy, a team first guy. He's good quarterback,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: but not Julian. That's a first rounder. And he's the
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: same size though he probably comes off a little bit.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it is about Julian. He just
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: looks a little smaller than he actually is. So anyway,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: when we look at Julian, certainly a first round pick,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: obviously JJ a first round pick. And then you would
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: go over to Kenyatta Jackson. How close does Kenyata Jackson
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: get this year to his ceiling, which I think we
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: all believe that guy's ceiling is just incredible, right, huge ceiling.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I love that he's back. I can't believe that he's.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Become like a spokesman for this team now. Definitely not
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: somebody like two years ago you would have ever imagined,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: even if he stick stuck around, was going to be
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: like a spokesman for the Buckeyes because he is so
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: quiet and he is so shy.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: But he does great at it.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Because he doesn't suffer any fools. Man, he comes right
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: out says what he feels, and he's so intimidating everybody.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: He's just like, Okay, that's great.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: But if you want to talk about like drafting off
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: of looks the part, man, I'm telling you what. Looking
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: at Kenyada in a building full of freaks, there's two
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: guys that stand out as like, what the hell is
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: that dude? It's JJ and it's Kenyada. He is just
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: a different type of animal. And if the play matches
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: the way he looks this year, which is even better
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: than he did last year, he's definitely gonna set it off.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: And I think that he's gonna get a lot more
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: green lights than he did last year, similar to what
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Cayden got last year. And if he does, he could
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: absolutely be a first rounder, no doubt about it. How
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: about Luke, Montgomery, Austin Siahveld. Austin the better prospect right now.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Austin played great last year. If he has another year
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: playing really good, he has another year of eligibility, but
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: I assume he'll go out, probably be a second or
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: third round pick. Luke is done after this year. This
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: is it for him and Carson, and Carson I think
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: is a very valuable ciner, you know, third, fourth round.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Same for Luke. Maybe Luke's ceiling a little bit higher
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: because he has got quick feet, but he's not as
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: consistent as Carson. Jermaine Matthews is an interesting one. Jermaine Matthews.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: I remember heading into last year a lot of people
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: think in that Jermaine, you know, that might be it
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: for him. He would exit after last year and be
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: something like a second round pick. I don't feel like
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: he's that kind of talent to me. People talk about
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: his athleticism or ball skills, none of which seem elite
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: to me. He's not six foot. I love him the dude,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: but to me, he's very Denzel Burke, who was a
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: fifth rounder. Nothing really special there, but I would be
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: really happy for him if he went a little earlier
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: than that. But I feel like he's like a fourth,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: fifth round guy. Earl Little Junior is going to be
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: an one as we enter into these transfers. Here who
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Here's where you get into like the part where you
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: know these are one and done guys, but I think
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: so many of them are going to play like the.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Career year for Ohio State.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Earl Little Junior entered the draft last year, did not
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: like his draft grade, which I wish we knew a
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: little bit more about, and decides to play another year
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: of football, comes to Ohio State, and you know, remember
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: he was the defensive player of the Year for Florida
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: State last year, which is excellent. By the way, do
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: I got a stat about Florida State. Over the last
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: five years at Florida State, Mike Norvell has averaged three
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: draft picks per year at Florida State. That is something
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I never thought i'd hear coming out of Florida State.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: With the amount of talent that surrounds that school. You
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: got Alabama, you got Florida, you got all the southern
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: schools right there up there in the Panhandle.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: That's just nuts.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: But of the year from Florida State on defense, was
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: there a little junior He comes up to Ohio State,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: lights the spring on fire. We don't get to see
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: him in the spring game. We didn't really get see
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: him in practice much either, but struggled a little bit
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: with misstackles. I want to say he had fifteen mistackles
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: last year, which is absurd. I don't think it'll be
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: anything like that at Ohio State. Matter of fact, a
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: lot of these transfers come up with a lot of mistackles.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Last year, alegro had a lot of mistaitles. I got
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: a bunch of the met a bunch of mistackles. I
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: don't think we'll see any of that at Ohio State.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: James Smith a little undersized certainly has the burst, has
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: the power.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Could we see this guy.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Potentially go from like, I don't know, third fourth rounder
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: if he'd entered the draft, to maybe even lower to
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: you know, high round, high second rounder.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: It could happen. I think he's got the goods to
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Terry Moore to me, is just a total, a total
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: question mark man.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: He's got the speed.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: We've seen him play at kind of an all American level,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: but it hasn't looked like that yett Ohio State.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Is it the injury?
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Is he having a hard time getting adjusted coming back
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: from the injury, But things are gonna be great. He's
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: got plenty of time, plenty more time to get into it,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: but we didn't see it this spring. I think he's
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: a really talented blitzer. I don't think we'll see that
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: this year, but I'm really curious to see where that
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: one goes with him. Christian alegro is certainly a large dude.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Curious to see what he measures up at when they
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: get him at the combine and how he tests because
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I think that'll tell a lot of the tale for him.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: But I look for him to be pretty impactful this year.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Brandon Innis talked about being a first rounder. Now, Brandon Inness,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: I think will certainly improve upon last year. I love
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: his hands, makes a lot of tough catches. Does he
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: maybe bring a little extra juice this year? How much
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: can you really improve upon that? We're about to find out,
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: because we know that they worked him, and he worked
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: as hard as he could get that better. Devin McEwen,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Devin McEwen, this is the money here for this guy.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Man certainly would have gotten drafted out of Utsa, I think,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: but he's got a great opportunity across from Jeremiah Smith
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: to seriously put up some big time yak yardage and
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: to potentially following the long lineage of Ohio state wide
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: receivers getting drafted not just high, but higher than you
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: would have even if you put up the same season elsewhere,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: because now they get the benefit of that doubt and
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: that's just part of being Ohio State. Mason Williams, the
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: tight end out of Magador, will also look he's listed
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: in the official Ohio state as this is his last
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: year in their official paperwork stuff.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: But for some.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Reason I thought he had another year after this if
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: he wanted it. But Mason Williams kind of undersized, smaller
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: than I thought he'd be coming out of Ohio, and
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: he looks to be right now like the number two
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: behind the met Roberts. We'll find out how that works
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: out with him and Hunter Wells singing Bennett Christian right now,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: they kind of all seem lumped together to me, and
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: then bo Atkinson. Bo Atkinson, who's bigger and stronger. I
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: don't think he's going to be someone who's going to
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: get into the top half of the draft. But coming
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: off of last year, I'd just said there's no way
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: that guy gets drafted, and now heading into this year,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: I think maybe so, So let me know what you think, guys,
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: anybody oh destroy Mark says Julian's saying can go first
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: as long as he elevates, but it'll be a talking
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: point since there'll be more trades based quarterbacks where the
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: GMS turns their brain off and draft because they look
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: good at nundies.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Similar to Ethan on Yonwell, he didn't say that. I
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: said that.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: To be fair, the Rams never draft good, which is
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: why they send all their picks away in trades. Richie
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Dubbs hates that narrative about Julian guy coming off his
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: sophomore season. Sage thinks the draft should be five rounds
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: and the rest sign is free agents.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. I wouldn't mind that.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I guess when we look at those lower end picks,
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: think so many of them end up getting cut and
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: latch on somewhere else. And they got the old saying
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: if you if you're gonna get drafted in the late rounds,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: you'd rather be an undrafted free agent and pick the
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: spot best for you anyways, which I certainly see the
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: merit to that, But then you hear a lot of
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: these guys also say, look, I just wanted to be drafted,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: that I wanted the culmination of my college career to
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: end in somebody wanting me enough to spend that draft
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: pick on me. And I get that too. But a
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: big day for the Buck guys on Monday, as it
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: was announced that's a fifth offensive lineman joining the class,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: and that is Davis Seamen. Davis Seamen, offensive lineman number
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: five out of Bishop Waterson. He's a guy that I've
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: talked quite a bit about, kind of so much so
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: that I've pretty much I already was counting him in
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: the class when I was talking about this class, this
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: offensive line group, which on paper is better than the
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty six one already. And he decided Ohio State
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: over Penn State, in over Auburn, Matt Campbell at Penn State,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Alex Golish at Auburn coming into the state of Ohio,
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: trying to pull an Ohio offensive lineman who is a
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: four star. He's a Blue Chipper, He's a top four
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: hundred kid, and I think he's got some pretty special
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: athleticism for a six foot three and a half six
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: foot four, two hundred and eighty two hundred and ninety pounder.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: This kid moves so incredibly smooth and it's not a
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: surprise that he's a very good lacrosse player. But on
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: the football field, a two times state champion at Bishop
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Waterson and he played at tackle at right tackle, Pete
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Aglaitas played at left tackle, Pete Gladas goes to Penn
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: State and Davis Seaman going to go to Ohio State.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: That is quite a group of offensive tackles on your
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: high school offensive line, especially when you're Division three, And
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: of course that leads them to two consecutive state championships,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: which is awesome. So Davis makes four out of five
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: lou Chippers in this class. And I think he's very
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: similar to kellen Weimer that he's going to have to
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: pack on quite a bit more mass, but my goodness,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: the feet are tremendous Kellen Weimer, and he looks like
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: a tight end. I think he'll eventually be a tackle.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: He's longer, he's about sixty five sixty five and a
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: half Davis. I think he's going to be a hell
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: of a guard. Flies out of his stance, he is angry.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: He clearly loves to hit and play football easily climbs
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: up to the second level to handle backers. When he's polling,
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: he looks. He's just so fast out of his stance.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: It's something to watch. Man. I think he's going to
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: be one hell of a college offensive lineman. The dude
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: is got a couple of years to put on some
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: mass and the strength and conditioning program, there's no doubt
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: about that. But that's just fine because the room is
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: looking pretty deep now, not just on the inside but
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: on the outside with guys his age, Because now in
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: the last two years we are talking ten offensive and
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: they're not done for twenty twenty seven, probably going to
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: be eleven in two years, and looking back to how
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: it was previously, that is quite a difference. When we
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: look at the guy, look, Jake Cookie Carter Lower are
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: the only ones remaining out of the three in the
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: class of twenty twenty five. There was three offensive linemen
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: in twenty five, two ones gone, so that leaves you
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: two and that's why you bring in five.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: So David Seman did tell Alan.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: True of Rivals that he was talking to Ohio State
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: about being a tackle, which unless he hits a gross spurt,
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: I don't see it. I got a picture of him
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: next to Kellen Weimer and Brody McNeil, the commit.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Out of Virginia.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: They're both listed at six' five and he's clearly like
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: two inches shorter than.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Them SO i don't.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: KNOW i don't know if you can be a six
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: foot three and a half tackle At Ohio. State BUT
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: i do think that his limbs are a little longer
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: than most six foot three and a half, guys which is.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Nice but when we talk about this class on, paper
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: it is totally. Legit Mason wilt is the only one
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: that's not technically A Blue, chipper and he's ranked like
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: number four, Sixty so he's like thirty spots out of
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: four star, territory which.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Means this whole class could by the.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: End of it be blue. Chippers and that's, excellent, man that's.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Excellent but even as it stands right, now you've got
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: four out of five of them blue, chippers eighty percent
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: blue chip ratio at one. Position, usually usually when that's
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: the case at a, position you get a lot of,
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: people a lot Of Iowa state fans who are, very
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: very happy with the recruiting that cycle at that. Position
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: But i'm hearing a lot Of Tyler bowen being called.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Overrated and the reason that that's happening is because number,
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: one he hasn't landed an out of state five. Star
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: BUT i think that's a little built up animosity being
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: leveled Towards bowen that he didn't. Start this is only
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: his second, classes first full, class right he came in
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: late last. Year but in addition to, That ohio has
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: been very, Talented so these classes have been Very ohio.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Heavy out of those ten, guys we're talking seven of
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: them from the state Of. Ohio, now the five star
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: thing always cracks me up BECAUSE i think a lot
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: of the people that talk about, that not people that
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: are watching me right, now but you hear it, often
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: AND i DON'T i don't think that quite too many
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: people understand how rare five stars really. Are there's thirty
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: two of them in a, class and if we break
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: it down to just the offensive, lineman there are eight
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: five star offensive linemen in twenty twenty, seven eight of
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: them in the entire. Country and this particular YEAR i
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: think was a bad year For Tyler bowen to potentially
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: get one of those five. Stars when we look at,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Him Mark, matthews the number one, Tackle Saint thomas Aquinas
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: South florida. Kid we Know miami's going to go hard
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: after any number one five star, Tackle but when one's
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: twenty minutes down the, Road Mario cristobaul is going to
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: spend as much as he needs to to get, him
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: even if it means he can't spend as much ON Dj,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: jacobs and we went out of that deal in the. End.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Anyway then you got two from the state Of, oklahoma
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: And Cooper hackett And Caden Perry. Oklahoma guess what got them?
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Both Then Antonio berry From. Mississippi he's going to go
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: To alabama Or, mississippi and those are the. Tackles now
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: when you go to the interior and we look at
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: the three currently interior five, Stars i'm SORRY i missed.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: One Oluwassain Morley Oho Baba, bola he's out Of New.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Jersey now that's the.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: One The bucky's still got their best shot at when
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: we talk about like out of state five star tackles.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Six, seven two.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Ninety But TEXAS a AND m is pretty clearly when
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: we look at their class this, year spending a whole
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: lot of money and they're coming. Hard it looks like
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: they're developing quite a relationship with him pretty. Quick WHEN
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: i heard him talk about he was at The Olu
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: olu was at The Ohio state student appreciation and when
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: he talked about, it it was LIKE i saw him
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: talk about like quotes about like six, places and what
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: he said About Ohio state was like like three words
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: and everything else was like a. Paragraph SO i don't
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: think he had a great. TIME i could be, Wrong
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: but as far as The interior five, Stars Max, hiller
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: you talked About Max, hiller kid From pennsylvania ends up
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: going To, florida which always stings because you want to
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: lock in on those ones from up. Here Olu olu
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: out Of, Jersey Max hiller out Of, pennsylvania but he
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: goes down To florida because Of Phil, troutline Penn state's
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: offensive line coach who's now At. Florida then you Got
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Albert simeon out Of louisiana and he's most likely going
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: to go TO. Lsu like all these dudes stayed home
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: for the most. Part and then there's the final, one
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: the eighth five star of the. Class now he doesn't
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: technically have his fifth star given to him, yet but
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: he's the number thirty player in the country and if
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: the class were to end, today he'd get that fifth.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Star he decided to stay home. Too his name Is Callen.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Wimer he's From ohio and he is committed To Ohio.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: State right, now if it were to end, today he's
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: a five. Star so that's pretty good, news isn't. It
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: does it really matter where they're. FROM i don't particularly
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: care where they're. From they get to play on my
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: team in the, end Right but The Tyler bowen overrated
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: stuff flying because the state Of ohio has been really
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: really strong for him to be able to pick apart
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: AND i love. THAT i love that every, year let's
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: keep being strong in the state Of ohio on the offensive,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: line because to, me the best way to recruit An
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Ohio state offensive line is TO i guess it almost
• 30:48

  Speaker 3: be a surprise that we're Seeing Ohio state in this
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: class of twenty twenty seven and in players from twenty twenty.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Eight like the Bone. Crusher we talked about the Bone
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: crusher last, Week Ohio state is starting to get a
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: pretty big footprint in the state Of illinois when it
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: comes to. Recruiting a lot more offers going there, everywhere
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: from linebackers to wide receivers to defensive. Line and we
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: look at a little honey, hoole, right you tap a
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: little honey hole every now and. Again we Saw Ohio
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: state recently kind of taped that honey Hole New jersey
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: maybe five years ago and kind of get that roll.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: In Then North carolina has been more recently the honey.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Hole now it's kind of shifting over To. Illinois and
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: when we look at THAT nfl, production that's. Great so
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: when we look at this current twenty twenty seven, class
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: they're assembling with four five, Stars i'm, sorry four four,
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: stars one potential five, star and you compound it with
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: last year's, guys the class of twenty twenty six With
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: sam Greer Max riley already looking like Hits Tucker, smith
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: who we've not even seen, yet, right But i've seen.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: HIM i have seen. Him i haven't seen him.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Play my, gosh, man that dude's a, unit a, lean
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: three hundred, pounder a true six,' five. Looks Great, mason
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: wilhelm who is way ahead of schedule as far as
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: how good. He's playing And Then, landry breed the only
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: one who looks like he's a developmental guy in that
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: entire class. So far and then the class of twenty,
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: twenty seven we're talking, ten dudes Seven, from ohio and
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: six of them, blue chippers and now they're gonna grab
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: another one in twenty, twenty seven gonna be eleven, guys
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: total and we're talking, two years and it's going to
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: change the whole look of that offense line room in,
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: two years so much so that if you do it
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: one more year, like this one, more year all of,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: a sudden that thing's. Totally changed and then you can
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: afford to lose a guy or two in the portal
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: and it doesn't affect you because you still got three
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: left and probably your highest performing guys as it currently
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: stands in the class of. Twenty five you Only Got
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: carter Low And. Jake cook that's. Not sustainable that was.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: Never SUSTAINABLE and i don't know how that was even
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: allowed to. Let fly how does? That fly, but look my,
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: point Is While tyler bowen hasn't done anything he, shouldn't
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: have he's done everything he. Should have he hasn't gone
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: out and landed super wonderful guys coming in from out.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Of state it is so different than it WAS that
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: i don't know how you could not be happy, With
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: It like i'm thrilled, about it because there's so often
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: you look at a guy like a fry and you pick,
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: everything apart like why is this? Going, wrong okay, here
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: here here is why it's. Going wrong it never. Gets
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: fixed in this, particular instance it got fixed exactly the
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: way we all said it, needed to, exactly how and
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: for that makes me. Pretty, happy also the State of
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: ohio has been on the up and up when it
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: comes to, offensive alignment so pretty happy about that. As
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: well as far as a recruiting snapshot from the competition over,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: The weekend Alabama beat Georgia For. Elijah Haven elijah haven
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: the number one quarterback in the country In the class
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: of twenty. Twenty seven Second year guy. Twenty, eight sorry
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: second time in the course of a Year that georgia
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: misses out on the Number one Guy And jared curtis.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: Last year the RIGIDITY of osu when it comes. To
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: money when it comes to, financial deals a Lot of
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: buckeye fans get really irritated.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: About it just pay, the money just win. The bid
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: big point.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Of, Contention right we've talked, about IT said I. Started
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: georgia if you Were a, georgia fan it would be
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: so much Worse because kirby almost uses it like a point, of,
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Pride right like he wants to make sure he's the.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Lowest bid he wants to make sure that you're Coming
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: to georgia for, his development which he considers superior to.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Everybody else's and they consistently lose out on their top
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: tier dudes Consistently because kirby does this. All himself he
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: doesn't even have. A pantoni he literally writes Numbers and
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: i've listened to kids talk. About it he writes numbers
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: and slides them across the table.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: To, kids man he's a.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Weird dude AND if i Was a, GEORGIA fan i
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: would be so irritated by the state of, that, program,
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: which look you KNOW what i wanted so bad coming
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: into the twenty twenty, four season. So badly not ONLY
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: did i want that team to win the, national CHAMPIONSHIP
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: but i WANTED what i felt would be the first
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: time in my Life For ohio state to be considered
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: the consensus best program in the country. RIGHT then I
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Wanted ohio state to be considered the best acknowledged by
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: everybody else because at, that point everybody who was a
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: real honest college football fan was Acknowledging that georgia was
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: the best program Before, that ALABAMA and i wanted that
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: To Be. Ohio state and as we, LOOK now i think.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: IT is I Think ohio state is acknowledged as the
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: best program in the country right now when it comes,
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: to talent when it comes, to coaching and you just
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: throw everything together results a national championship being there. Every
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Year and georgia has fallen back a, little bit, not
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: much but ever. So slightly you can see it on
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: their team in these consistent little losses that they have
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: at the top of.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: The Talent.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: The buckeyes, did, it man they. DID it i think
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: they're consistently considered right now the number one program in.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: The country we always knew. THEY were i knew they
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: were Gonna beat georgia in twenty. TWENTY four I thought
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: george was gonna. Do better, they didn't but they were.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: The team they were the team to beat, that year
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: and they did win it clearly when we look at
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: the talent man, looking. Back unbelievable, But Anyway, Jackson Dollar
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: jackson dollar was One Of keenan bailey's. Top targets at,
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: one point he's the number two tight end in. The
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: country but he has narrowed down his final List, To Georgia, Notre,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: Dame texas Clemson. In Miami the buckeyes don't make his,
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: final five which is that's really something because his uncle
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Is a juckeye. Tremendous athlete as a matter, OF fact
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: i think if you put a little more weight on
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: he could be Like A dylan stewart at. Defensive end
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: but he's a, tight end, super, explosive long and he's gonna.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Be awesome but we're just not gonna get tight ends.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Like this it's just not. Gonna HAPPEN and.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: I was told by a stafford very close to the
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: tight end room that the way this has gone with tight,
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: end Money If nate roberts were in the recruiting class,
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: this year he would not be a buck. Eye verbatim
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: now that's unthinkable at this Point because, nate, is uh
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: he's such a, Buck eye but that's what he said
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: because the money at tight end has jumped so tremendously
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: where it really lagged behind all the other positions for
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: quite a. Few years now it's just shot through. The roof,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: and finally on, the evening we have talked a Lot About,
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: marcus bacatuo who is, number one, number two number three
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: defensive tackle in. The class he's six foot seven out
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: of Out of california Going To sierra canyon Along With
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: kazi curry. Their teammates you've got two of the top
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: three defensive linemen in the country and. Their teammates imagine
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: that a three hundred and fifty pound under a three
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: hundred pounder both crazy Athletes and marcus Came To ohio
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: state and, upon leaving leaving his visit over the Spring
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: From ohio state Said the buckeyes were his number one
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: and they, were well he said they were probably his
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Number one georgia was right up there, with them and
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: then he goes And, visits oregon And then oregon was his,
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: number one and then he goes And Visits notre, dame
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: again who had been his original, number One And notre
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: dame is now right up there again in his final
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: two and in his. Top two now he Says It's
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: notre Dame And, ohio State But ohio state with the.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Slight. Edge now the reason that's such big.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: News is because out of every single one of, his
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: visits he has kind of knocked somebody down and brought
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: the new. Guy up he hasn't Been To ohio state
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: since the, first time and now coming out of all
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: of his, spring visits He's Got notre Dame With ohio
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: state with. Slight edge now, That's HUGE and, i wondered
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: is this the year that We See ohio state invest in,
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: that primo top tier interior. Defensive guy we're seeing IT
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: With dj jacobs saw last Year, with Wilder though wilder
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: not the type of guy didn't COST what dj did
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: because the buck eyes got on him when he was
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: just a top three, hundred player just a top three,
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: hundred player a, great player but they came with their
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: best and final right off the rip and locked him
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: down and bought loyalty, from him which man of. His,
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: word man that's he wanted to Be At ohio state
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: and he held strong throughout you know the strays that,
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: were coming and, THAT'S Awesome. Dj jacobs it wasn't going
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: to be. That way So the BUCKEYES With, dj jacobs
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: can they pair him with a top tier. Interior guy
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: when we Talk, about marcus we Talk About kazi curry
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: to the guys that are in on, the most very very,
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: different players and it makes it pretty clear that they
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: really really want one a top tier premier guy who
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: can come in and play, year one year two on.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: The INTERIOR With, DJ jacobs i really like the construction
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: right now of the young defensive linemen and if they're
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: able to pull this off in this class of twenty,
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: twenty seven, you know it's kind Of a Rich get
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: richer scenario because it already looks really really dog. One
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: good so that's what, we Got destroy, Mark says imagine
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: proudly smiling as you slide a number on a paper
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: across the table to a kid just for to be
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: the lowest number of the ten schools he's visited over.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: The spring it's essentially what.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: It is Wonder if Kirby Watches Glengary glenn ross before,
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: recruiting visits, you know you gotta think for anybody else
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: it would be the h, oh listen So destroy. Mark
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: says oliolo has the same Agent As, quincy porter the
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: agent related to that six, foot seven twenty twenty six
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: defensive tackle we were in On From bergen catholic before
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: he randomly COMMITTED to A.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: And m and his Name Is.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Jermaine Kinsler, so, kinsler however also reps Art Dude. Jordan
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: thomas so you know we've had to go Good with kinsler.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: As well is the good, News there but the whole
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: NIL thing i was thinking about Earlier How urban meyer
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: would have done going through.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: This transition would he have? Crushed it would it have?
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: CRUSHED him i don't think it would have been like
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: it Was, for saban where you know a lot of
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: people will, mock, this RIGHT but i honestly think that
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: it really Really crushed saban and his wife that it became,
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: about MONEY because i really do, feel like especially, for
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: her and he's kind of a, You Know miss terry's, the,
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: Boss right it really crushed her that they cared more
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: about money than coming over and eating and hanging out
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: like it really.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Crushed HER and i think that had a lot to do.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: WITH it i Don't think urban really cares a whole
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: lot about that type. Of THING but i think that
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: he would be an unbelievable fundraiser because nobody is saying no.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: To him who's saying no? To him tell me a
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: booster that's gonna say no? To.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: Him right the. Dude's scary it's very, intimidating guy. Powerful.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: Dude winner he would have raised so, much money could
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: have spent so. Much money but it's the guys that
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: are departing that he couldn't win. OUT on i think
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: he couldn't have dealt with. IT mentally i just he's
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: just so super intense by. The way my wife absolutely
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: in love. WITH him i mean every time every time.
