Let's see what GUB has left in the tank first.

a) he's been on the PUP list forever so he has zero trade value
b) if he's right, 80% of GUB is better than 100% of anyone you are going to trade him for

Nick Bosa’s expanded role means more plays and more production on the Ohio State D-line
Meredith Hein via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


With three top-linemen departing for the NFL, Bosa will play an expanded role on the line.

“This year is going to be full out, play every snap that means anything for my last year.”

-Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa, via Austin Ward, Land of 10


Junior defensive end Nick Bosa was named Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year last season despite playing far fewer snaps than might be expected from a star player. That’s because Bosa played on a line with three other standout defensive ends, so he was able to be an impact player for every snap he was on the field while still having time to rest and be fresh for the remainder of each game. Now, however, those three other defensive ends are departing for the NFL, leaving Bosa to lead the pack in what is likely his final collegiate season.

Bosa will be at the helm of a young group which includes Chase Young, who came to Columbus as a consensus five-star prospect last season. Jonathon Cooper and Jashon Cornell also look to get in the mix at the end spot, giving defensive line coach Larry Johnson a similar embarrassment of riches to what he has experienced in recent seasons. And while Bosa will be the de facto lynchpin of the group, Johnson has made clear that even his star defensive end will not--or at least should not--be on the field for every play this season.

Bosa averaged about 42 plays per game in 2017, according to Johnson, which is roughly the same as the departed Tyquan Lewis had. Johnson has said that Bosa will probably see the field for closer to 60-65 plays per game moving forward into the 2018 season. Bosa finished last year with 8.5 sacks and 16 tackles for loss. Even as opposing lines adjust, expect his productivity to increase through his expanded role. And despite the increased workload on Bosa, the defensive line as a whole has the advantage of remaining fresh against an opposing offensive line which cannot sub in or out as easily on a given play.

“Warinner is best known for his time as Ohio State’s co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach from 2012-16, a run that included a national championship and some of the top offensive lines in America.”

-Nick Baumgardner, Detroit Free Press


In Jim Harbaugh’s latest offseason coaching move, the Michigan head coach brought in former Ohio State co-offensive coordinator Ed Warinner to lead the offensive line. Warinner had initially been hired by Harbaugh as an analyst back in January, but his role expanded with the departure of Tim Drevno, who left for USC. The coaching drama at Michigan has been strong this offseason. Drevno previously served under Harbaugh for three seasons as offensive coordinator and line coach. Earlier this year, Harbaugh brought in former Florida head coach Jim McElwain to coach a wide receiver corps which struggled last season. This hire has been considered the cause of Drevno’s departure, and led to Warinner’s expanded role. Harbaugh has also hired a new tight ends coach (Sherrone Moore), defensive assistant (Al Washington) and strength and conditioning coach (Ben Herbert). These changes are largely the result of Michigan’s poor finish last season, losing its last three games and finishing as the only Big Ten team to lose its bowl game. The Wolverines ended the season at 8-5--Harbaugh’s worst record in three years as head coach.

Michigan’s struggles centered on the offensive side of the ball last season. Even with a stout defense which allowed just 18.8 points per game, the offense couldn’t seem to get anything going. The Wolverines finished last season ranked 105th in the NCAA in total offense with just 348.9 yards per game, leading to a major shakeup this offseason.

Warinner spent last season as offensive line coach and run game coordinator at Minnesota. In five seasons on Urban Meyer’s staff, Warriner’s lines helped the Buckeyes to finish in the top-15 nationally in rushing yards each year. After the 2014 national championship, Warinner became Meyer’s primary play caller with Tom Herman departing for Houston. Unfortunately, the offense seemed to take a step back in the two seasons with Warinner at the helm, leading to his departure prior to the 2017 season.

“Even when Urban Meyer loses his franchise quarterback and star defenders aplenty, the Buckeyes still enjoy a great offseason.”

-Mitch Sherman, ESPN


Per the usual, Urban Meyer’s squad has has one of the most exciting (in a good way) offseasons in college football since the conclusion of bowl season. While the Buckeyes are losing a lot of talent to the NFL, new coaches and new recruits are ready to step up to keep the train rolling along.

Perhaps the most intriguing move since bowl season was the hire of former Washington State defensive coordinator and secondary coach Alex Grinch as co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach alongside Greg Schiano. Grinch, who spend three seasons with the Cougars, improved a struggling defense, ranked 84th in the NCAA on his arrival, to 16th in the country by the time he left.

Schiano himself had a busy offseason, initially being courted as a potential replacement for Butch Jones as head coach at Tennessee and for a spot on Bill Belichick’s staff in New England. With all of this interest in their main man on defense, the Buckeyes more than doubled Schaino’s salary to $1.5 million per year, making him one of the highest paid assistants in college football. Naturally, Schiano opted to stay in Columbus.

Topping things off was yet another outstanding recruiting class from Meyer and company, ranked second in the nation behind Georgia. Meyer pulled in three five-star recruits in the 2018 class, including safety Tyreke Johnson, who has already enrolled, and defensive tackle Taron Vincent. One particularly sweet spot is tackle Nick Petit-Frere from Tampa. Considered the top offensive lineman in the country, Petit-Frere had been heavily pursued by Michigan, but ultimately chose to come to Columbus (Michigan wound up with the 19th-ranked recruiting class nationally, and third in the Big Ten behind Ohio State and Penn State). He attended Ohio State’s comeback win in Ann Arbor, which may have contributed to his decision...

The Buckeyes hosted (hopefully) a future 2019 commit.

Yesterday, the Ohio State Buckeyes concluded another day of spring football practice. While the 2018 squad prepares for the annual spring game and beyond, Meyer knows this opportunity to get ahead of the curve for the upcoming summer and fall is pivotal for their potential success. Fortunately, this 2018 roster is easily one of (if not) the most talented roster in college football. With the talent in Columbus right now and the rest of the 2018 class still to arrive on campus, the future may just be brighter than ever for the Buckeyes’ football program.

Something to go home with


One of the great aspects of spring football is the ability to host recruits while you practice so they can get a feel for what football is truly like. Yesterday, the Buckeyes competed in front of more than one recruit, but one in particular may have stole the show. Enter Trevor Keegan, a 6-foot-6, 310-pound monster from Crystal Lake, Ill. The 2019 prospect is quite impressive, as he boasts rankings such as the top overall player in Illinois for his class—as well as the 16th best offensive tackle in the country for this current cycle.


On campus yesterday to watch the Buckeyes in person, Keegan did not go home empty handed as he announced via his Twitter before he went on his way home that Ohio State was the latest to extend an offer his way. With a high four-star ranking, it’s easy to see why Trevor holds nearly 30 scholarship offers from some of the nation’s top programs. Schools such as Michigan, Penn State, Wisconsin and Oklahoma and more have already entered this race, but it’s possible that a few schools are already standing out.

One school who currently owns the most picks on the 247sports crystal ball predictions is Michigan, but now that Ohio State is in the fold, look for Meyer and his staff to put on the full court press. With the Buckeyes wanting—and needing—to add an extensive haul of linemen in this 2019 class, expect Keegan to become more of a priority and topic of discussion. Yesterday may have done nothing more than prove that to be the case.

Could the writing be on the wall?


Just yesterday Land-Grant Holy Land talked about the offer that was given to Chicago native Jahleel Billingsley. The interesting aspect of this offer is the quick development that is seeming to take place now that the Buckeyes are officially in the race for his services. The nation’s ninth ranked tight end is also the fourth best player in the state of Illinois for 2019 and all signs are pointing toward Ohio State as the likely destination for this stellar talent.

Yesterday, just hours after his offer was confirmed, Steve Wiltfong, Director of Recruiting at 247sports, issued a crystal ball prediction in favor of Ohio State. While it’s been talked about over and over how crystal ball predictions are not a guarantee that the prospect will end up with that school, they’re still a solid aspect to go by. Especially when an insider such as Wiltfong makes the call. If a decision is coming soon, it’s clear that the Buckeyes are at the top of his list and hoping to stay there. Time will tell, but it looks to be like a reload of tight ends in 2019 just one cycle after landing easily the nation’s best tight end prospect in Jeremy Ruckert.

Quick Hits:

• Four-star quarterback, Max Duggan, the seventh ranked dual-threat QB in the 2019 class from Iowa was on campus yesterday for Ohio State’s spring practice.
• Houston native and four-star QB Grant Gunnell, who the Buckeyes offered in February, was also on campus yesterday to visit Ohio State and see spring practice in person. Thought to be an Oklahoma State lean, but could have the Buckeyes near the top of his list.
