LOL. Absolutely comical recruitment. Never a dull moment in crootin these days!

Welcome aboard Chris.

I don't think there is anything comical about it at all. The kid was thrown a curveball at the 11th hour and stepped back and took some time to confirm his decision. Anything else is some clickbait speculation.

I'm glad that CHJr will be a Buckeye.

I am hopeful, for him and for us, but skeptical here. He was ahead of Reese in camp last year and got passed by, moved to DE, and then redshirted. I hope it’s all for the best but his hype to reality ratio has to be one of the most expansive gaps I’ve seen. Bam Childress wasn’t nearly as highly rated coming in and at least had good spring games.

Allegedly we offered 800k in year one. Uncle Phil put 2M on the table. 2.5X more. The power of the brand and our track record on development. In this case its equal to or greater then 1.2M. I hope it all pays off for Mr Henry.

That's a lot of money. Not sure I’d be able to resist the temptation. Actually I’m sure I can’t. Kudos to CHJ!

I have no info. But I’d imagine JJ’s nil got adjusted when it was clear that he was the WR1 even above Emeka. For CHJ, if he can unseat JJ and become WR#1, he’ll get him 2mil. If not, he can be patient and develop without the pressure to prove his worth. For a 19 yo, pressure can do funny things.

Ryan Williams was hyped to be JJ or better, and people say the money and fame caused his sophomore slump. Not sure the actual reason but he’s under performing.

Back to CHJ, just take care yourself and work hard, money will come. It’s not like 800k is below poverty line and the future is bright.

Leaked audio of Kraft going on a 36 minute profane rant with the team that apparently included going off on the tsun as "fucking cheaters." I might start liking the cut of thus guy's jib.

LOL. This is the hit I think of when @ORD_Buckeye talks about pipe-hittin' MFers. I know that's a line from Pulp Fiction, but I think of this hit.

Nessler's "Oh!" sounded like he saw a fatal car crash

You can only hope he's OK..

Narrator: He was not OK.

It does. Only 5 star.

Here are the "current" recruiting rankings, before counting CHJ's formal announcement. Then add in Legend Bey's upcoming change from Tenn to the Buckeyes and we'll definitely be in the Top 5, if not higher...

I don’t even really know what this means, but nostalgia laugh out loud. Front flip!

Edit: Oh, I was thinking about the video making fun of him in High School were the kids would yell “McGuffie!” while doing various feats, not him getting smoked by Spitler on the kick return.

Ask me to remember something else from almost two decades ago.

but it stems from this (over Shugarts)

Is it true they cheated their balls off?

Yes they cheated.
No, they don't have balls.

It's unknown if these are related.

Nothing says great AD like signing a top tier HC 2 days after signing a 2 person recruiting class.
