QB Julian "Just" Sayin (Official Thread)

I am amused that Sayin is hailed as a perfect drop back passer. Translated, he'll throw from the pocket but cannot scramble. When we got Nolan, he was touted to have a great arm, and could escape the pocket rush. Translated, he can take off and run. McCord was blasted because he couldn't run. Day basically told CJ not to scramble, because there was nothing behind him if he got hurt. Appears that Day wants whatever he doesn't have, yet bounces back to what he has. I don't much care which works, as long as the QB marches the team into the end zone. Good runs liven the game up, and cause conniptions from the opposing defense, and break their hearts when a scramble leads to a first and ten. Oh well, that's football. Go Bucks

HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

But I want to see an upgrade at LT, and I think 1 more Tyliek-type at DL would be desirable.

OL is definitely a concern still, but I think the C will be a big upgrade, and hopefully they'll bring in at least one more starter in the spring for LT/RT, although that might be hard to do depending on who is available. Only other positions of weakness are LB and TE, and it seems like they're at least interested in targeting another LB based on rumblings. Wouldn't mind another DL, I guess it just depends on how happy they are with Kanu and the other freshman's progress.

This is pretty much the best I could've expected out of Day. Pretty sure the LJ situation will work out in the next few months. Seems like a priority for them to set up a transition from him to another coach.

Projected matchup: No. 1 Ohio State vs. No. 8 Michigan

This would be super unfortunate if top-seeded and Big Ten champion Ohio State faced the Wolverines in its first playoff game. That would make the regular-season meeting relatively meaningless and this could potentially be the third time these two titans face off next season. The selection committee will do everything in their power within the bracket to avoid this, but it would undoubtedly get near record-setting views at the Granddaddy of Them All in Pasadena.
First understand that no is going to force a top ten team from the SEC to travel. Second Having a replay of the the Bucks and Michigan solves the problem of not requiring Geoprgia or Alabama to travel north in December. This is all just throwing a bone to Big Ten fans so the Southern CoCs can keep their grip on the bowl sites. Fuck fairness to Big Ten fans.

This is what Birm is talking about regarding rules changing after Ohio State starts doing something successfully… teams were and are spending out their ass for three years but as soon as Ohio State has notable success doing something, it’s national headlines in the Wall Street journal about how unprecedented it is, implying how the system is broken now.

Prime brings in 50 transfers and it’s so exciting and fun, Ohio State brings in six transfers and keeps its current roster and “Oh my god the system is broken!”
I bitched about this in Jeremiah Smith's thread. It's exhausting.

LGHL Ohio State dishes out new offers in both the 2025 and 2026 classes

Ohio State dishes out new offers in both the 2025 and 2026 classes

The Buckeyes’ staff used Wednesday to send out a handful of offers to new targets.

After a successful weekend of hosting several top targets from all over the country, the Buckeyes are back on the trail and making their presence known early and often. Wasting no time in adding new names to their prospect list, Ohio State dished out multiple offers on Wednesday in both the 2025 and 2026 classes.

James Laurinaitis has been taking advantage of the Buckeyes being down one position coach, finally being able to go out on the road for recruiting efforts and is looking like a natural. Heading back to his home state of Minnesota, the Buckeyes sent out one of their latest offers to a 2025 linebacker who is starting to become a name more and more major programs are paying attention to.

Taking to Twitter to share the latest, Emmanuel Karmo announced the Buckeyes have extended an offer. A 6-foot-2, 210-pound athlete, Karmo is currently the No. 49 athlete in the country, but the top player in Minnesota for the 2025 class per 247Sports. Now at double-digit offers, Karmo has schools such as Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas State, Michigan State, USC, and now Ohio State to his name, but others are sure to follow soon.

The Buckeyes are likely to take at the very least two and probably even three at the position for the 2025 cycle, and with Eli Lee already locked in, the staff is off to a strong start. Guys such as Tarvos Alford are of course the other top target so it seems, but Karmo is the newest name worth paying attention to and probably won’t be the last.

The blessings keep coming and I am very blessed to announce that I’ve received an offer to play @OhioStateFB I definitely can’t wait to come down to Columbus and check out the environment @JLaurinaitis55 @77williehoward @TPatt17 @cooperhawksFB @AllenTrieu it’s great to be a hawk pic.twitter.com/M9yYbNOGXs

Moving along to the next player the Buckeyes were in on, Ohio State is also in pursuit of offensive linemen in the 2025 class, and looked no further than New Jersey. Making the stop at Paramus Catholic, Malachi Goodman was on the receiving end of his latest offer, and for good reason to say the least.

A 6-foot-5, 315-pound athlete, Goodman oddly enough is not yet ranked on his 247Sports profile but has recent offers from the likes of Oklahoma and others such as Georgia, Florida, Miami, Penn State, USC, and several more to his name. Seeing the size he’s listed at it makes sense why so many top-tier schools are in the mix, but when you take into consideration where he plays his prep football, you know just how impressive of a player he really is. Paramus Catholic continuously churns out D1 talent, and Malachi is next on the list.

Another position the coaches will look to load up on in the 2025 class, Ohio State is going to look to take a larger number of guys and Goodman certainly fits that mold of player they’re looking for. Odds are with how many schools have offered he will be among the higher-ranked tackles in the country when 247Sports updates their rankings.

To the 2026 class for the last offer sent out on Wednesday, Ohio State capped off the busy day by heading to Texas to offer a big-time defensive back seeing plenty of attention early on in his recruiting process.

Taking to his Twitter as well to share the news, Isaiah Williams now holds an Ohio State offer. A 6-foot, 185-pound safety, Williams is only a high school sophomore but has nearly 20 offers to his name from the likes of LSU, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M, and more. Also an unranked player right now due to class, it’s not going to be long before Williams sees his stock among some of the best in the country for the 2026 cycle.

With how well Tim Walton has been recruiting lately, you’d have to think Ohio State’s offer speaks volumes to Williams, but the Buckeyes also now have Matt Guerrieri to take the reigns of the safety position recruiting, and he too seems to know how to get the job done on the trail. Sure there’s a ton of time still before Isaiah has to decide his college plans, but it’s more likely than not that the Buckeyes will be a player for his services both now and for the long haul.

Blessed to be Offered by The Ohio State University !! @MattGuerrieri @CoachJimKnowles pic.twitter.com/cfVV5rbLkU

Quick Hits

  • Ohio State’s 2025 class is sure to be among the best in college football come signing day, and no recruit may be as impressive as current commit Devin Sanchez. A five-star in every aspect, the Buckeyes know exactly what they’re getting with his services and make sure to keep him atop of their priorities.

While recruiting Texas yesterday, Sanchez was able to see his future coaches and by the looks of his time, he had quite the guest list of visitors as multiple coaches stopped to check in. The No. 4 player nationally and the top corner in the country per 247Sports, Sanchez is bought in, and maybe even more importantly, so is his family.

The Ohio State Family stopped by to see their new family members❤

  • Another visit the staff decided to make in Texas, 2025 defensive lineman Landon Rink also got to see several of Ohio State’s coaches on Wednesday.

A 6-foot-2, 270-pound athlete, Rink is the No. 316 player nationally and 32nd best player at his position for the 2025 class per the 247Sports Composite grades.

This surge in fundraising is great, but the collectives need to constantly push to find new donors. The average new donor to a NFP lasts 3-5 years. If they don't work to cultivate good will with the new donors it could be less than that. Acquiring new donors and stewarding existing donors is an ongoing process. I'm afraid the collectives are full of people who know how to spend the $ but don't have a good grasp on how to raise it.

I'm also lazy....but I think the only recourse they would have is to apply for the supplemental draft, which isn't a sure thing. I'm pretty sure that's what happened to Pryor, and thinking back on it I'm surprised they let him into it.
Pryor had to convince the NFL commissioner that he was not going to be eligible to play college that year, in order to have a supplemental draft. Goodell didn't want to open the door for people to just leave for the supplemental draft whenever they wanted. At the time, he was only suspended for about 5-6 games or something. So Pryor started making shit up about things he was doing at Ohio State that should make him ineligible for more games. Ohio State was able to refute all of the claims Pryor had, and I guess Goodell just gave up and said that he could enter the supplemental draft, but he's suspended from the NFL for 6? 7? 8? games. The funny thing is that people think that the NFL wanted to punish Pryor for the same number of games the NCAA was going to punish him. And while the number was pretty much the same, if the NCAA punished him for more games, the NFL would have suspended him with fewer games.

I'm too lazy to look through this thread. I know players have the ability to transfer when a coach leaves. Is there a similar window to enter the NFL draft?

Alabama Crimson Tide (official thread of Football, Fake Championships and Banjo)

Neither Rivals nor 247 listed an Ohio State offer:



Did he even have an offer from WRU?

I don't think The Buckeyes offered him.
he was class of 2025 and already committed to Bama well before he reclassified.

SimPLLLLLLLe Jim "6-13" Harbaugh (B1G Suspenders McKhakiPants, Cheater Cheater Booger Eater)

I would welcome him.
I would also stress that he has enough film on Ohio State that he doesn’t need to attend.
I would make him buy tickets under an alias.
I would also add Connor Stalions to the attendance list.
I would post signs everywhere that say “digitally recording sidelines is not allowed - THIS MEANS YOU!”
i'd escort him to a seat in B Deck that had a pillar in front of it.

then i'd clock him in the side of the head with a 4 iron.
