On this episode of Hangout in the Holy Land, Josh and Chuck discuss best-case and worst-case NFL Draft scenarios for C.J. Stroud and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Is Stroud actually better off falling? And will teams view JSN as a potential WR1 at the next level?
The guys then look at a few landing spots for Paris Johnson Jr. and Dawand Jones, with the latter’s fit in Cincinnati up for debate. While Big Thanos performed very well during the 2022 season, his lack of activity during this draft cycle has been at least somewhat concerning.
Finally, the conversation circles back to Stroud and an apparent smear campaign against him. Once viewed as QB1, he now finds himself the subject of silly rumors. Both Josh and Chuck implore teams to look past the usual pre-draft noise and instead watch the tape.

A look back at who impressed at the OSU Spring Game and where former Buckeyes might be drafted.
It’s time for our monthly offseason appearance, and we’ve got a football game to discuss. Well, sort of. The 2023 Ohio State Spring Game is now in the history books and there are plenty of talking points to discuss. We give some overall thoughts about the event and specifically the format from this year. We also talked about some of the offensive and defensive players who stood out in this year’s glorified scrimmage.
We didn’t learn much about the quarterback battle due to Devin Brown missing the game with a hand surgery, but we did get to see some of the young wide receivers and Carnell Tate did not disappoint. Chip Minnich has some concerns about the offensive line and I’m remaining cautiously optimistic after a mixed performance in the Spring Game that the current group has enough talent that it can come together through the preseason camp and the first few games of 2023.
Following our Spring Game talk, we dove into a discussion of the Buckeyes who are headed to the NFL and where players like C.J. Stroud, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Paris Johnson Jr., Dawand Jones, and others may go in the draft this week. Others may not go at all. Has Stroud done enough to convince people he’s worth being the top quarterback selected? Are scouts and GMs overthinking this? Would you want to hitch your job prospects to Will Levis over Stroud?
We don’t usually talk about recruiting much, but we did touch on some recent successes in this show. A new (but familiar) face on the staff may be paying some major dividends. Finally, we brought up some of the rule changes designed to “speed up the game” of college football. I’m of the opinion that I like to savor my college football, so don’t mess with it, but hey, that’s me.
We’ll be back next month, or possibly sooner if news warrants, as we remain in our offseason broadcast schedule. We’ll return to our weekly format in August as we ramp up for the 2023 Ohio State football season. In the meantime, feel free to reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or send us an email. Be sure to subscribe, rate, review, and share, and follow the show over on Twitter at @SilvrBulletsPod.

Pair of 2024 targets name Ohio State a top school

2024 four-star running back Taylor Tatum via 247Sports
Two Ohio State targets in the 2024 class listed the Buckeyes among their top schools, and the men’s basketball Buckeyes made the cut for a four-star forward.
Ohio State’s football team had a busy spring. The Buckeyes saw a handful of the nation’s top recruits in the 2024 class commit to the program this month, which resulted in the team taking the No. 1 spot in the 247Sports team rankings. Spring practice may be over, but the Ohio State coaching staff is still putting a heavy focus on recruiting. The hard work continues to payoff as the Buckeyes made the cut for two blue-chip prospects lately.
Ohio State wrapped up spring practice by hosting smaller-handful-than-usual of elite recruits last weekend. One of the recruits on hand was 2024 four-star running back Taylor Tatum (Longview, TX / Longview) and by all accounts the visit went as well as possible.
The visit to Columbus was his first at Ohio State but since it wrapped up, but because of how well it went, many expect him to make a return visit of the official capacity. If he is to follow through with this, it would likely not be until the summer for one of Ohio State’s summer camp events.
In the meantime, the Buckeyes still received further good news following the weekend visit as Tatum released his top seven schools Monday and included Ohio State.
Alongside Ohio State, Tatum also included Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Texas, USC and Michigan. Of the remaining schools it is Michigan that currently sits as Ohio State’s biggest competitor at landing Tatum.
Michigan has already earned a 247Sports Crystal Ball prediction, but this occurred before Ohio State started picking up steam in his recruitment.
The Buckeyes already hold commitments from two RB’s with four-star James Peoples and three-star Sam Williams-Dixon but the Buckeyes would certainly ensure there is room for another if a back of Tatum’s caliber wants to join the fold.
Tatum is the No. 2 RB in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 33 overall prospect. He is also the No. 6 recruit out of the talent-rich state of Texas.
The aforementioned Tatum was not the only Ohio State target to list the Buckeyes in his top schools in the last few days, in fact, he wasn’t even the first. This weekend, Ohio State learned four-star safety Zaquan Patterson (Hollywood, FL / Chaminade-Madonna Prep) included the team in his top five schools.
Alongside Ohio State, Patterson also has Florida State, Michigan, Miami and Auburn in his top schools.
Patterson received a scholarship offer from Ohio State back in May but the Buckeyes have yet to be able to get him on campus for a visit. This certainly needs to change, but it also speaks to how strong the Ohio State coaching staff is courting him that they made his top five. Additionally, with a top five schools decided on already, the above school will all likely receive one of his official visits this year. Currently, Miami and Michigan look to be Ohio State’s biggest competition for him.
Safety is a position of importance in Jim Knowle’s defensive scheme and the Buckeyes have yet to secure a commitment in the secondary. With two blue-chip corners in Ohio State’s backyard, the coaching staff may have more time to recruit with an out-of-state safety like Patterson.
Patterson is the No. 5 safety and No. 73 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He is also the the No. 12 recruit out of Florida.

Quick Hits
- The Ohio State men’s basketball Buckeyes also made the cut for a blue-chip target of theirs on Monday. 2024 four-star small forward Amier Ali (Bradenton, FL / IMG Academy) released a top eight schools list on Monday, and as was expected Ohio State made the cut. Alongside the Buckeyes, Ali also listed Kentucky, Texas, Arizona State, Alabama, Florida State, Michigan and Arkansas. Ali plans to take an official visit to Ohio State on May 6.
- Ohio State offered a rising 2026 linebacker on Monday in Sam Moala (Lawndale, CA / Leuzinger). Moala already holds offers from the likes of Georgia, Auburn, Tennessee, Oregon, Arizona, BYU, Colorado, etc.
- Could a new BOOM! be on the horizon? Ohio State twin offensive line commits in the 2024 class seem to be hinting at one. The Armstrong twins are quickly becoming leaders of the Ohio State recruiting class.
