Day made him reconsider. That last phone call reminded him despite Hartline, his offense puts WRs in the 1st Rd.

UO almost pulled him, but Day did what needed to be done. Also helps he’ll immediately b WR2 & WR1 by Sophomore yr.

We had no shot. Lol

1. OSU
2. UO
3. SC

In that order

In today's era, there's little risk to this move for him. If the WR room falls apart, he can transfer easily.

It's remarkable how recruiting has inverted from the glory days--OSU is now a destination for elite WRs, UM for big, beefy linemen. I don't love the trend.

OSU has always recruited and developed top end NFL WRs....you really think OSU doesn't still have beefy lineman? I can't think of any championship team that didn't have a good physical OL.....

Who did they play outside Indiana that would concern you?

I think Miami has a good enough team to play anyone on their schedule. My concern stems from our inability to consistently win games we should win. I don't understand the logic behind Miami would be 12-0 _______. We played a dog**** schedule this year outside of ND and still managed to lose 2 games. Did SMU and Louisville scare you from a personnel standpoint?

OSU was historically three yards and a cloud of dust. We were pro-style (QBU) with Playmaker, Lamar Thomas, Santana Moss, Andre Johnson, etc. OSU is home of hefty, corn-fed, big, slow and lumbering linemen. Elite speed and talent resides in So Florida. We need more ELITE (not good or even very good) talent at the skill positions—two to three MTs on the field together. Wingo helps a ton, maybe others.

Qb throwing 4 picks easily explains 1 of the games.

Hate OSU but they stopped doing 3 yards and a cloud of dust in the mid 90s - Joey Galloway, Terry Glenn, Ted Ginn, I’m sure I’m missing more.

Good point. I thought UO would drop 2 out of their last four after I watched them against PSU & IU. They obviously didn't. Iowa/USC/UW all finished 15-19 in SP+, a notch above UL & SMU. They had a better regular season than we did.

Perhaps the only the viable argument to support the notion that we'd also be 11-1 (12-0 is ridiculous) against their schedule is that those 3 wins were during the last third of the season, when we played our best football. I wouldn't feel confident if that was my best case to St. Peter at the pearly gates to get into heaven though.

It’s a slew of them mutha fckas. I had a civilized back & forth debate w a Buckeye alum, student-athlete, & fan, ONLY b/c he’s my Prophyte in my fraternity. Lmao.

He kindly reminded me of all the WRs they’ve sent to the NFL over the yrs as high draft picks, although he was civilized enough to admit not all lived up to the hype at the next level.

All the top 3 round draft picks starting from 2000 at the WR position alone:
2004 - 1st Rd: Michael Jenkins
2006 - 1st Rd: Santonio Holmes
2007 - 1st Rd: Ted Ginn Jr
2009* - 2nd Rd: Brian Robiskie
2012 - 2nd Rd: DeVier Posey
2015 - 2nd Rd: Devin Smith
2016 - 2nd Rd: Michael Thomas
2016 - 3rd Rd: Braxton Miller*
2017 - 2nd Rd: Curtis Samuel
2019 - 2nd Rd: Paris Campbell
2019 - 3rd Rd: Terry McLaurin
2022 - 1st Rd: Chris Olave
2022 - 1st Rd: Garrett Wilson
2023 - 1st Rd: Jaxson Smith-Njigba
2024 - 1st Rd: Marvin Harrison Jr
2025 - 1st Rd: Emeka Egbuka

*2009 also had Brian Hartline (4th Rd) & Marcus Freeman (5th Rd) drafted
*Braxton Miller converted from QB to WR
