JT was an exceptional leader but that doesn’t always translate into being able to recruit. Hartlind didn’t have any OC experience but he did have many years of already being on the staff and establishing himself as an elite college coaching/recruiter.

I don't see any reason to expect him not to be a good recruiter; it's not a Chip Kelly situation where we know he has no willingness to recruit. He fits the Hartline/Laurinaitis archetype who've both been exceptional at recruiting and development. And this is still going to be Ryan Day's offense, so it's not like JT will be installing a new system. Count me as being in favor of considering JT for OC

But he is a former Buckeye who played under Day which is a positive. He was known as an exceptional leader while here too. Hartline didn't have any OC experience before this year either. I'm sure JT has learned a lot from Ben Johnson and I would not be surprised to see him do well hereJ

Did you watch the video? He didn't whine. He simply addressed the state of college football. Nothing wrong with his comments

I read the quote "we can't even deal with this".

That's some serious vag clinching. You get paid to deal with agents now. Deal with them.

Couple more CB updates:
5* John Meredith says A&M and Bama lead followed by OSU. Looking to make a spring decision - this is expected, that we're on the outside looking in. I see us taking 2-3 guys ranked between 100-300 this cycle. Possibly stretch to get a top50 guy like Henry (see below). We need numbers more so than spending on star power.
Top-50 CB Raylaun Henry said he’s “150 percent committed” to A&M but could official visit to Ohio State and Alabama during the summer - welcome to modern recruiting. But this is one that I'd love to push for. Teammate of OSU's Khmari Bing.

Birden gets ridden the entire 2nd. Gets two TD's in the third. The last with a second left to win.

Shumate wins 13-3.

Birden / Barbosa final.

Shumate / Cotton final. Cotton over Jude Corea whom I've talked up like I did Geog back in the day. Huge upset in my eyes...

Kilkeary 7th place. Wins 11-1.

If JT wasn’t an ex Buckeye, you wouldn’t even mention him, I could see bringing him back as a position coach, not OC though. Randle El has no college coaching experience as well.

I’m a Bears fan I’ve seen his relationship with Caleb. I hope he stays in Chicago nobody knew Ben either till he got a chance.

Long time CB target, Larry Moon, tells Fong that he's looking to visit OSU, Miami, and Oregon in the spring. This is the kid that used to live in Pittsburgh and has visited us like 15x, but things kinda got sidetracked when he transferred down to IMG last year. Glad to see his name pop back up.

Couple UA Game Media Day Notes:

Also, another interesting note. 5* DT TT commit Jalen Brewster says his other previous finalists OSU, IU, and A&M are still being considered and he remains in contact with them, but he likes TT still - not going to happen, but still interesting nonetheless.

Anyone we bring in will likely be a co-OC anyway, unless it's a big name. If a guy like JT is 5 stars at everything other than play-calling experience, it wouldn't be a bad move. We have one of the best play-callers in the game sitting in the office next door, ready to take over if he doesn't like how it's going. I'd rather bring in someone young and bright rather than a Kelly/Daboll type that would likely only stick around for a season. Whoever it is just has to give us the 8 years that Hartline was on the staff.

Couple UA Game Media Day Notes:
5* WR Commit Jamier Brown tells Wiltfong a ton of schools are hitting up since the Hartline news, and that he wants to get down to TX for a visit - Don't be surprised by news of him taking a few visits this spring. He committed super early and never really got a chance to explore around. I have no worry with him. This is just what happens with Top10 5*'s. Easton Royal, committed to TX, said he's also going to be taking visits this spring.

“I’m seeing the process out. I love the culture, and they make you feel welcome. Everybody there is big on development. I want to be developed into a first-round, top-five draft pick. And I feel Ohio State can get me there.”

I don’t think agents need any licensing, at least not for NIL.

I hope they do otherwise someone's uncle says they are their agent you sign some deal with them and the kid claims they were never their agent whether they were really or not and it's just a mess.
