Everybody said Lanning was supposed to be a younger Urban. To me, it getting the same vibes as: Lincoln Riley / Kliff Kingsbury. Young head coaches with too much hype based on their assistant/position coaching success.

JHC. You take a program that dwelled in 6th place in an 8 team conference, to being a consistent CFP team, and now you want to play "coach-of-the-year?" Oregon fans to need to get a grip.

So far, their portal haul is.

3 Utah guys who are only there because they followed the coach. DE John David Henry was the big prize, however he is recovering from a torn Achilles late in the season and who knows when he may be able to contribute and if he will ever be very effective ever again. The TE had a good enough showing as a freshman at Utah but who knows how he will translate at a higher level of competiton. They got another DE from there was well who on3 has rated as the #76 EDGE in the portal

Jamie Ffrench who is only there because scUM 100% swung the biggest bag his way - has proven nothing on the field to this point

RB Taylor Tatum from Oklahoma who has had big fumbling and injury issues. (#28 portal RB from on3)

LB Max Alford from BYU - #219 LBer in the portal according to on3

S Chris Bracy from Memphis- #167 S in the portal according to on3

OL Houston Ka’aha’aina-Torres from Nebraska - #171 IOL in the portal according to on3

QB Brayden Fowler Nicolosi from Colorado State - #51 QB in the portal according to on3

WR Braydon Alford from Butler, Tony Alford's son, literal non factor

And a Kicker, Punter & Long Snapper

Their rumored "unlimited money cannon" appears to have broken down. Nobody is lining up to play for Whittingham and his band of Big 12 level coaches.

Max Alford is one of Tony's nephews.

2027 VA OL Carter Jones (Verbal Offer)

calibuck
I wonder, do our coaches have an amount allocated to them to spend, or is there a running balance that needs be drawn upon when looking at recruits. Do the coaches spend a huge amount on one player, and then use the rest of their NIL to build depth, with lesser lights? Or is the strategy kept under wraps like nuclear launch codes? Anyone got some insight?

2024 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

calibuck
Might suggest that now the Players have learned the rules of this new game. Some of the players go to smaller schools and excel, and then leverage their 'minor league' experience to the bigger/better teams via the portal. Others sign with, and get the training from, the better schools, with better coaches/facilities, etc and then leverage THAT into more NIL cash. Some are taking their skillset and contributions, and looking around to see where they can make a bigger impact (look at the QB carousel). Someone wiser than I might see how many QBs in the playoffs are with the team they originally sign with. And do a correlation with their original NIL $, versus what they're pulling in now....

S Faheem Delane (transfer to ???)

calibuck
Took me a while to connect the dots, but gotta agree. Of the 30 (currently) tOSU entrants into the portal, about 20 have found a new home. Being part of the Buckeyes, perennial contender, and by all accounts, very highly coached team, these young ones are doing what Thump implies, and using their training to leverage themselves into a starting position (?), and in all probability, more NIL loot. To whilst these RS sophomores, and sophomores are leaving, they are gutting at least two upcoming classes, and forcing tOSU to pick up some one and two year eligible players from other teams. And if I look at my crystal ball, the Buckeyes are going to lose many of their starters to the NFL after the 2026 year, and don't really see much 'coming up' the ranks to fill in, having learned the systems in place. Probably being an Eeyore here, but my brain is telling me one thing, and my gut another. Not entirely certain yet whether this team-catharsis will pay dividends, or not. Time will tell. Anyway, Go Bucks!

QB Justyn Martin (Official Thread)

Interesting move for both sides. For Ohio State, this looks like a smart depth addition after Kienholz left, especially with Martin bringing experience from two Power Five programs. He’s not coming in as a guaranteed starter, but as a steady, older presence who can push the room and be ready if needed. For Martin, it’s a last chance to reset his career on a big stage, and a medical waiver could keep his options open beyond this season.

I don’t want to sell him short, but I tend to look at a move like this as getting a jump start on a future coaching career.
