Ohio State is battling Miami and Oregon for Jett Harrison, mainly Oregon. NIL is said to be a bigger priority for him than it was for Marv Jr., which makes sense given that NIL was in its baby stage back then and Marv Jr. wasn’t as big a prospect as Jett is.

I still think Jett will be a Buckeye as long as the WR play doesn’t regress badly and we come reasonably close to what Oregon will offer him. I believe Marv Sr. just spent a week at Ohio State.

A couple notes on Brysen Wright and Jett Harrison from a USC insider, he says Jett is their #1 target in the class and they’re prepared to spend big to try and land him.

Said USC is not involved with Brysen Wright because he’s hyper focused on 3-4 schools right now. Didn’t name the schools but from reports it’s clearly Ohio State and Miami with Texas and Florida trailing way behind.

Said he doesn’t believe any school will be able to pay the price tag to land both, which makes sense.

Hopefully, your scenario will lead to a break-out game for one of the new LBs, who will spy Manning all over the field, and send him to the whirl-pool to ease his black-and-blue body. If Manning is going to earn his Heisman hype, he'll have to start with the Buckeyes, and hopefully our DBs will be up to the coverage task, FORCING him to try to earn yards with his feet. Love the Buckeye 'coverage' sacks.

Certainly a ticketable offense, but you could put tape on there changing pure to fuck and blue to bucks.

And from my perspective, the fact that they've turned the Auburn dial to 11 and turned over the entire university to a foosball obsessed booster just says that the place is an institutional cesspool on every level.

Per 11w poster:

Someone on the Ole Miss board said he has a friend who’s a Big 12 DC and a Baylor school alumni and the friend believes it’s always been Ohio State. Said each school is offering over 6 million throughout the course of his college career which matches what the poster on the Georgia board said who claimed to be extremely close to the situation.

The poster on the Georgia board said the only difference between the Ohio State and Tennessee offers are how much he would make in year one (1.25 mil as a Freshman at Ohio State compared to 1.75-2 mil at Tennessee.)

Per another 11w poster:

I had heard that Tenn's offer was $6M over 3yrs, but that included $2M from Adidas. Whereas ours was $3.5M over 3yrs, but they have some things in the works that would bump our offer up to between $5M - $5.5M, and that the Staff feels very confident they can seal the deal. Here's hoping DGG sees the total package long term, and becomes a Buckeye!

Both look like positive scenarios for the good guys

It doesn't really matter who the school is that's doing it. This type of TCUN-like arrogance would be made fun of by me at least.

I think I agree with this. I wouldn't give a hoot about Texas Tech otherwise. If anything, maybe I liked them before this story. I didn't really have much feelings about them, except my all-time favorite coach who I would NOT want to be the Buckeye head coach (Mike Leach) was their coach for a bit. Yeah - they ran him out which was boof. But I didn't really didn't have strong feelings about TT. Now that they're trying to support a guy who has been known to bet on his own games.
Hey 1919 White Sox, we know you took money from mobsters to throw the series, but how about you just go to another team and play again next year?
Hey Pete Rose, remember when we said yesterday that you're banned for life? We changed our mind. We hope to see you on the field for another team next year.

And then crying to whoever would hear their case - that judge deserves a wedgie. But the whole thing where they went and cried about having to follow the B12's rules and NCAA rules and tried to find judges and attorneys to defend them from any punishment. Sheesh.

"I'm a kleptomaniac. I admit. And now that I've admitted it, you can't arrest me or punish me for anything I've ever stolen." right..
